Error: Unable to get the position to insert the procedure

I recieve the error:

Unable to get the position to insert the procedure

I don't what causes this error. Mabe runtime 3.2? I recieved this error while for every inseriton method (procedure, integration/business event)

I suggest an error handling that I get the action on this notification to copy the event to clipboard. Then I could insert the event manually, als long as this error might occur.

Good idea to copy that event to clipboard. Can you share the file where the error occurs (maybe simplified or anonymized)? Then I can try to find out what's going on there and why I don't find the position :)

But it seems that the microsoft compiler (3.0.x) does not have the function I'm depending on (to get the syntax tree and so on). If that's true, I don't think that I'll add support for that as it would be a huge effort to support also the old versions :/

[pri-kise]

Yeah. I could understand this. And It makes sense that this is caused by the old runtime, since the following file does not work either.

pageextension 50000 "sd" extends "Vendor List"
{
    layout
    {

    }

    actions
    {
    }
    trigger OnOpenPage()
    begin
        ontestsomething();
    end;
}

Sadly I had to change to the old version, since the Intellisense of the new AL Language Extensions suggest things that don't work with the runtime 3.2 (BC14), but I can understand that this would be a huge effort.

[DavidFeldhoff]

I'll have a look at it and maybe it's not the compiler version and I can fix it in another way, but don't want to make too much hope. Thank you for your understanding

[DavidFeldhoff]

There is "good" news: I found out what's going wrong. It's not about the runtime, but about the AL Language version. I asked Andrzej (AZ AL Dev Tools / AL Code Outline) if he can fix that as I'm using in that case a function of his extension (which communicates to the al extension): https://github.com/anzwdev/al-code-outline/issues/152 Let's see what happens next :) If he can't do anything I'm quite confident to get another solution up and running which can create the procedure, but maybe can't position them in the right "region" (for example that the event subscribers are behind the local procedures, but I hope that's good enough?

[DavidFeldhoff]

That sounds promising: https://github.com/anzwdev/al-code-outline/issues/152#issuecomment-656379956 :)

Andrzej just published a new version. I tested it and it works for me with the AL Language version 3.0.168874. You need the version 2.0.4 of the "AZ AL Dev Tools/AL Code Outline" Extension. This version requires the VS Code Version 1.47.0. Thank him for making it possible again :)

btw: Who's the person behind pri-kise? ;) Anyway, thanks for helping by reporting this issue and your other ones 👍
