“Type Definition Modified� by who?!?

[drjdpowell]

I cannot figure this out.

 

I made some changes to the private data of a class that caused the various unbundle nodes to get mislinked when they tried to auto-select the right new elements, leaving several broken methods.  No problem, I thought, I will revert to the previous clean copy in Source-code control (using TortoiseHg).   However, whenever I reopen the class, the unbundle nodes are still mislinked and VIs are broken!   I reverted the entire codebase to a week ago to be sure I had a good copy, and I rebooted the computer — still broken!   All my methods, even the unbroken ones say they need to resave because “Type Definition modifiedâ€.

 

My question is: what is modifying my “Type Definitionâ€?   It can’t be any of my source code, so what can it be?   Where is the change located on disk?

Have you tried to clear cache (Tools-Advanced-Clear Compiled Object Cache)? This should help.

Do you have the compiled code separated from source?

Wait, never mind, I think it is a Mercurial/TortoiseHg problem (or User error in using it).  Reverting back to a month ago, then reverting forward to today fixed the issue.   I think the class file wasn’t being reverted correctly. 

After reading replies:

 

Compiled code cache, of course!  Should have thought of that.   Reverting far enough back may have triggered a recompile thus clearing the error.   Thanks guys.
