error when exporting ninjascript

[SebastiaanR]

Hi there,
I've created a strategy on my laptop. Now I also u a PC and would like to export the strategy so I can import it in my PC. I get an error while exporting.
I got error CS0246 It says that the name is not found of certain indicators that I used in the strategy. How can I fix this ?

Greetings,

Hello SebastiaanR,

Thank you for your post.

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling your script. This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC. If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one script, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

For NinjaTrader 7:

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select ANY indicator and double click on it (we need only to open and compile one script to see all compile errors for all files).
• A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
• At the bottom of the window, a new section will appear where you can find the error locations.
• From there you have the option to comment out offending code sections, remove the complete script or debug it to be able to compile again.

For NinjaTrader 8:

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the New menu--> select NinjaScript Editor
• Double click on the Indicators folder--> then double click on any of the indicators
• Once the indicator code is in view right click in the window and select Compile to compile all NinjaScript objects
• At the bottom of the NinjaScript Editor window, a new section will appear where you can find the error locations
• You can exclude the file referenced in the editor by double clicking on the appropriate object type on the right of the NinjaScript Editor window. This will expand the object type folder. You can then select the file with a left click--> right click on the object--> then select Open to begin debugging the file, Exclude From Compilation, or Remove to delete the file.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please post a screenshot of the NinjaScript File column and Error column fully visible (not to be confused with the Code column)

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using the Windows Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the follow up. I didn't have time to check it yesterday.
I just checked and I'm not able to fix the problem. I don't have any compiling errors in my strategy. I just have an error when I try to export the strategy as an add on via tools ->export ->ninjascript add-on.
I added the errors that I see in the log.

Translation is the type of the namespace ... is not found

Hello SebastiaanR,

Thank you for your reply.

We'll need to take a look at the code for the strategy along with any dependencies (indicators that it uses). Please email us at platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com and attach the strategy and its dependencies to that email - they can be found in Documents > NinjaTrader 8 > bin > Custom > Strategies and Documents > NinjaTrader 8 > bin > Custom > Indicators. Please place "2518084 ATTN Kate W." in the subject line.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.
