"Not serializable" error in controladdin procedures for serializable parameters

[hbaehren]

Describe the bug
When using a serializable data type (e.g. System.Array) in a procedure of a controladdin VS Code shows the error message "The parameter 'X' has a type which is not serializable and therefore cannot be used in the given context. AL (AL0430)".

To Reproduce

1. Create a new controladdin
2. Create a procedure within the controladdin with a parameter of type dotnet Array.

controladdin proceduretest
{  
    procedure testArray(testArray: dotnet Array);
}

Expected behavior
It should be possible to use serializable parameters in procedures of controladdins. This was possible in C/AL.

Version:
AL Language - 5.0.288712

@hbaehren, thank you for reporting this issue. The validation does not actually verify whether the .NET type is serializable or not. I will mark it as a bug. However, I don't know when we will start working on a fix for it so you should investigate for a workaround in the meanwhile.

Hi,

Many thanks for raising this issue. Unfortunately we have not been able to get to this issue as soon as we'd have liked. Since it has been a long time since this issue was last updated, it is possible that this has been fixed by a newer release of Business Central and the AL extension for Visual Studio Code. We have thus decided to close it.

If the issue still affects you on the latest insider build of Business Central, please help us and open a new issue for us with the latest steps to reproduce the issue, and link back to this closed issue to track any comments or discussions.

Thanks,
Thaddeus
