Error: undeclared identifier: 'DropDown'

[dlesnoff]

I tried to run the drop down example in the widgets directory.

I got an undeclared identifier error. /home/kolmogorov/Documents/dev/owlkettle/examples/widgets/drop_down.nim(49, 20) Error: undeclared identifier: 'DropDown' candidates (edit distance, scope distance); see '--spellSuggest': (1, 7): 'drop_down'

Has the widget been removed? I have tried to rename the module to drop_down_example.nim to avoid any conflict and I got the same error!

I am currently unable to reproduce this error. Are you sure that you are using a current (= development) version of owlkettle? What is the nim and owlkettle version you use?

The DropDown widget still exists https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle/blob/main/owlkettle/widgets.nim#L2467 and the example should compile.

I apparently forgot to update to the release of Nim 2.0. I update and check if it works.

[dlesnoff]

I updated and it still provides the same error. The source code comes from the git version, main branch, and is at latest commit.

$git show-branch
[main] Fix Switch.state field

I use Xfwm4 (Xfce's WM) but that should not intervene in the compilation, am I right?

[can-lehmann]

Could you try uninstalling and reinstalling owlkettle using nimble install owlkettle@#head? Do any of the other examples work? (e.g. counter.nim)

Your window manager should not affect the compilation process.

[dlesnoff]

I uninstalled and reinstalled using nimble install owlkettle@#head.

I removed the owlkettle directory and re-download it from the git. None of the examples counter.nim nor drop_down work.

[dlesnoff]

counter.nim is easily fixed, I just had to replace the [] by {}.

[can-lehmann]

It seems like nimble is somehow not installing the correct version. The error that occurs in counter.nim is quite typical for using an older version (<= 2.2.0) of owlkettle (see https://github.com/can-lehmann/owlkettle/issues/52). We changed the syntax for the style field since.

[dlesnoff]

Indeed. I asked in the #nimble Discord/Matrix channel and I have done the following: – remove the package in .nimble/pkgs and/or .nimble/pkgs2 – remove the nim cache. for me its at ~/.cache/nim I restored [] in counter.nim, recompiled, it works. I installed libadwaita-1 for drop_down.nim, it works too. Thanks!
