fresh install of NT 7 version 18 - woodies not available

[MicroTrends]

After a fresh install of NT 7 version 18 - woodies not available.

After several installs i completely removed all of NT7 and the installed from scratch - bar an fdisk of the hard drive i pretty much got rid of all traces....

I then check out my indicator from source safe which referenced woodies...

However the compiler threw and error at this code which has worked for many weeks:

result= (WoodiesCCI(5,2,CCIPeriod,34,25,6,30,100,2)[0]<CCILongEntry);

NinjaTrader.Indicator.WoodiesCCI is a type but is used like a variable.


I went to references and removed the vendor dll ref
recompiled - Error produced as expected:

The name woodies does not exist in the current context etc...

so add the ref back again hit compile and...



result= (WoodiesCCI(5,2,CCIPeriod,34,25,6,30,100,2)[0]<CCILongEntry);

NinjaTrader.Indicator.WoodiesCCI is a type but is used like a variable.

Woodies does not show up in the intellisense either....

I thought perhaps a recursive check out from VSS - meant that i had inadvertently written over something - but i have checkd that i am only storing and checking in and out custom source...

Hello MicroTrends,

I verified that I'm able to apply this indicator to a chart as well as access via intellisense.

I thought perhaps a recursive check out from VSS - meant that i had inadvertently written over something - but i have checkd that i am only storing and checking in and out custom source...

Could you clarify this? Are you trying to access from NinjaTrader or Visual Studio?


May have been some remnants left over in My Documents\NinjaTrader 7 or C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7

I am using the editor/compiler in NinjaTrader
VSS is Microsofts basic desktop Source Control program i use it to check in and check out versions of software - it's not an editor. - ignore -red herring.

Deleted everything i can see folder in my documents and program files - still no luck after install

Still cant compile

[MicroTrends]

How can i re-initiate an intellisense cache rebuild - perhaps that will solve the issue?

I also realised i also kept some config files and workspaces/templates etc and copied back......

So it was not a 100% fresh installation.....

I am going to blat it all and start again :-)

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

Sounds good, MicroTrends.

I would try a basic usage of WoodiesCCI so you can evaluate whether it compiles.
double result = WoodiesCCI(5, 2, 3, 3, 25, 6, 30, 100, 2)[0];


If that works fine but your original statement does not, then likely need to look at the other components CCIPeriod, CCILongEntry, as well as how result is defined.

same thing
i cannot see any jurik either

i can add woodies to a chart
the intellisence cache is not piucking it up - so the precomiplier check is flagging it as an error... that is my understanding. if it were using dynamic reflection it would see it....?

[MicroTrends]

Ok it was resolved by....
Exiting NT
Deleting the cache folder contents
del C:\Users\tom\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\cache\*.*
Restarting
Edit Indicator
Cache rebuilt all the reflection output is documented and cached for each reference etc
This time it all compiled ;-)

Thank you for your unwavering patience - support and help :-)

Great, glad to hear it's sorted. Thanks for sharing your solution.

... NinjaTrader.Indicator.WoodiesCCI is a type but is used like a variable...

I am getting the same error after checking out NT code from TFS.

I delete the cache files as suggested in earlier post, but to no avail ...

Any ideas?

Solution

Sometimes a restore of custom and vendor dll files will work
The factory defaults
C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Backup

Sometimes i backup the current compiled state and restore that - i have not had to do this for many months and only ever about 5 times ever.

E.g i copy the compiled files from
C:\Users\[you]\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom

to a folder
C:\Users\[you]\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\NT Files Backup
Then i can roll back to that if need be sometimes

copy them to
C:\Users\[you]\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom

I also delete all files from the tmp folder
C:\Users\[you]\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Tmp


then recompile and it fixes it
