Export problem 12.02.2018

[ttodua]

During alst days i am frequently send you reports about bugs in NT compiler/exporter. So, please dont ignore them.


now, today's problem.

when i use code like this in indi:

using BarTypesXYZ = NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.MyCompany.XYZ.BarTypesXYZ;

and i export such indicator as "compiled assembly", then i see it is being exported such (while opening "filename.cs" of compiled archive).

public Indicators.MyCompany.XYZ XYZ (...... bool useMTF, BarTypesXYZ barType, bool something ...

and thus, when i try to import that on another machine, it says that BarTypes namespace not found in NT platform.

so, i think you understand what is the problem there.
i think the namespace is globalised, while it should be referred.

Hello TazoTodua,

It may be that you are attempting to use code that is not supported by NinjaTrader.

Can you clarify why the using statement is used for a BarType in an indicator?

Are you attempting to prevent the indicator from working unless a specific bar type is selected?

Do you have a reduced sample that doesn't have any logic and has just the necessary code to reproduce the error?

thanks for prompt reply.
I use ENUM as input for that indicator.
that enum is also defined within indicator's namespace, like:

namespace NinjaTrader..........XYZ  {

     public enum BarTypesXYZ{
      ....
      ....
    }

}

Hello TazoTodua,

Two things.

BarTypes is already a collection object in NinjaTrader. I highly recommend not using any class, method, or variable names that are already in use.

Try using a different custom name like 'BarTypeSelection' or something that isn't already being used.

Also, when using enums, these need to be in a custom namespace and need to be accessed with the fully qualified namespace.

Below is a link to an example that can be (and was) exported.
