Android Question B4A V5 FTP issue? HELP kind people!

[thughesimsuk]

This is a strange one, I have the latest Net Library (v1.53) and I have declared FTP in the Process_Globals,

Dim FTP as FTP

but when I type

FTP.

I usually get a drop-down with all the members, but for some reason B4A is not recognising the members.. I get the following,

This has only now become an issue since I have update B4A to V5, If I delcare FTP2 as in the following it works..

I get the following errors now because of this issue when I compile,

B4A version: 5.02 (1)
Parsing code. (0.96s)
Compiling code. Error
Error compiling program.
Error description: Unknown member: downloadfile
Occurred on line: 2840
FTP.DownloadFile("/Support/"&UserGuideName,False,File.DirRootExternal,UserGuideName)
Word: downloadfile

This is really causing me an issue because I don't want to have to go through all my modules updating my code for something that has always worked. Stranger yet is I have another project and ftp is working fine and its declared "Dim FTP as FTP".

I thought I would reach out to the community for help, its probably something dumb that I am doing but can anyone shed light on this.

you should never use variables named to objects to prevent misery and confusion.

just name it myFTP or something instead, a quick search'n replace will fix it in your other projects.

I understand that its not the best programming practice Sorex, but I used the following provided by Erel as my guide...

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-ftp-tutorial.10407/#content

Where you can see FTP has been declared as FTP, this has never caused me issue before so why now? thanks for the input Sorex

I guess Erel has to answer that one as it might be a change in the (pre)compiler

 

[Erel]

I'm unable to reproduce it. Can you upload a small project that doesn't compile because of this issue?
