Symbol not found with new SDK

I recently updated my datafield to the new sdk 4.2.3 and now 4.2.4 (from 4.1.2).

I got a compilation error in this line:

if(info has :distanceToDestination && info.distanceToDestination != null) {

It seems the new SDK does not have the "has :distanceToDestination".

I removed the "has" clause and now a user has the problem that it crashes in this line (FR955 Solar) with an "Symbol not found error".

if(info.distanceToDestination != null) {

What should I do in this case ? Shouldnt the variable distanceToDestination not always be available and when not set, at least be null??

thanks for your help

regards

Hi Erich!

I'm working with VS Code and SDK 4.2.4.

For Edge devices, your line

if(info has :distanceToDestination && info.distanceToDestination != null) {

generates no compilation error.

For my datafields I only use following for getting the distanceToDestination - and there's no crash if there is no course loaded:

if(info.distanceToDestination != null) {

Even if no course is loaded, distanceToDestination delivers 0.0000 (not null).

So, seems not to be a general SDK 4.2.4 problem...

What is the actual error message you see? Is it coming from type checking?
