OO in LS is more than a little arcane...

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

- I've been doing it for years; it's mainly building that's the issue, once it's built it works quite well, which is why I keep doing it. (grin)

- Anyway, the only size limit I've seen is in the actual editor itself. Before I started using OO in LS I had a Script Library that was over 6000 lines long. One day the editor simply decided to truncate the code, and ever after it would no longer save. I was freaking out until I tried a TS Analyze on it, and that tool had the entire library. I copy and pasted it into two smaller libraries, then started learning OO on LS.

- I have a OO system that's been deployed for two years that's comprised of nearly forty LS classes with inheritance five levels deep. One of the classes in the hierarchy is 1256 lines, so I'm nothing thinking you're hitting any size limit, you're hitting the "flakey build" limit.

- What I have to do to get this system to build is this:

1. Make changes and try them. If they work without error then stop here. Go buy a lottery ticket!

2. If I get any errors like Use or Token or something that makes no sense, I close all Notes and Designer windows.

3. Delete cache.ndk from the client data directory. It seems Designer caches stuff here as well because this is the real magic to making it function.

4. Reload all Notes & Designer windows.

5. Rebuild all LotusScript.

6. Greater than nineteen times out of twenty this will fix it. That other 1 in 20 it's a PEBKAC error that I missed. (wink)

- Hope this helps...
