[SOLVED] IDE problem - strict compilation stopped working

[stam]

Hi all,

I prefer to use strict completion mode & variable checking to reduce errors from typos etc. This had been working fine until today... but as today this seems to have stopped working.

Live errors and variable checking are selected in the script IDE and 'strict compilation mode' is selected in the preferences, but i can still now type gobbledygook with no error being raised.

Restarting LC and even rebooting have not done resolved this.
Any suggestions?

Wild guess, maybe it will only work inside of handlers/functions?

nope:

Hm, was worth a try...

Hm, just tested this here in my MacMini, macOS 10.14.6 LC 9.6.1, and LC complained as exspected!?
Try to trash your LC prefs, use the message box to locate the file:
put the filename of stack "revpreferences"

Restarting LC and/or your machine may also help.

Thanks Klaus, will try trashing the preferences when I get back to my computer...

So far, restating LC and rebooting did nothing...

I guess worse case scenario just reinstall?

Looks like...

Sorry, no brilliant idea in the moment.

Klaus - you're a genius!
Trashing the prefs worked a treat!

All back to normal now...

Thank you!
