Duplicate BarTypes Msg Needs More Detail

[aslane]

After installing an ind lib including some bar types, I started seeing the following msg when compiling:

Multiple BarTypes with the same BarsPeriodType were found. Ignoring ....

I totally understand the message and why it is raised. However, the msg is rather useless because it does not help me figure anything out. It needs to include the actual offending BarsPeriodType numeric value, so I can find the offending BarType and change it. The BarType being called out is from the installed lib, so I have no way of knowing the value or the second BarType. If I knew the value, I could change the offending BarType if I have the source.

Please update this msg to include the BarsPeriodType numeric value.

Hello aslane,

Thanks for your message.

I have submitted a request to have this feedback added in the error message.

Ticket ID: SFT-4764

In the meantime, I may suggest using the BarsTypeIdentifer script my colleague Jesse has shared to identify BarsPeriodTypes that are used on your platform so you can see the BarsPeriodType indexes that are used.

Thank you, that tool did the trick, as it detailed all the bars including the offending BarType that is being ignored. I can now pass that info back to the developer.
