inivisible error: type definition not found or contain errors

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi

I have a strange error and I don't know how to solve it (because I can not see it).

I had a working program, in a project, but now it shows an error, see image.

The problem is that when I click on the "Show Error" a small empty part on the block diagram is blinking but there is nothing there... it is outside my code part...

Any clues ?

Thanks

The typedef is probably placed inside the loop.
Resize the loop to include the small empty part. You might be able to see the typedef.

Well, I am not that lucky.. I was looking for all parts of the loop, increased it, moved around.. looked in all cases of the state machine there... nothing to be found.

Made a Ctrl+U,... nothing. It drives me crazy (I have a backup but made some modifs after the backup..., so I would like to find the solution)

You have multiple loops on the diagram. The typedef might be in the other loops.

Delete the loops one by one. See if you still got the error.

OK, got it thanks. I still can not see the type_def (and I had none saved with that name in my project), but I could find the Case where this error was appearing, removed that case and now it's OK.

thanks

There is a way to show hidden objects, but I can't remember what it was.  It sounds like someone may have hidden a control.

  1. Press Ctrl-L to bring up the Error Window
  2. Check "Show Warnings"
  3. In the list, find the warning for "object is hidden"
  4. Double click that line.
