Any idea what I’ve done wrong? Here’s Test.swift:

public final class Test { 
	private var testing: String!

	 init() {
		self.testing = "foo"
	}
}

Rename Elements.exe to ElementsC.exe for now. it seems there’s a conflict between Elements.exe and Elements.dll, the latter of which contains the type it cannot find :(.

I’ll log to get this fixed.

Thanks, logged as bugs://77952

4

That doesn’t seem to fix it. I get the same error, I updated the “elements” script to point to ElementsC.exe as well.

5

Strange. What version of Elements and of Mono do you have installed?

6

The latest released elements and whatever version of mono the docs link to.

7

Ok. i think i have an idea whats causing this, i’ll have a look tuesday (as i’m probably out all day tomorrow). In the mean time, can you use xbuiild (or Fire)?

8

For my needs I really need the command line tools working. I can wait.

9

ok, i’ll keep you posted. FWIW, using xbuild instead of elements(.exe) would be command line, as well.

10

Ah ok, I’m trying to integrate elements with bazel.build. I’d prefer to use
elements directly.

11

Any update on this? Would love to start hacking.

12

should be fixed in the current beta.

13

Noob question here…where do I download betas from?

14

https://secure.remobjects.com/ will have a betas link if you have an active subscription. That will have the latest betas.

15

and http://beta.remobjects.com will take you directly there, for convenience, as well.

16

I haven’t purchased a silver license yet…I’m still evaluating it :frowning: Is this coming to a stable release anytime soon?

17

It’ll be a bit longer; We’re eying a potential 9.2 release in late July or August. I can send you a newer beta build, whats your account name on remobjects.com?
