valac 0.38.5 error: The name Priority' does not exist in the context of Drt.System.make_directory_with_parents_async'

Can't build this for the life of me on Latest Arch.
Tried from Aur and building direct from Git.
Getting error status 1.

Hello @exadisme. Could you attach a complete build log? Thanks.

[exadisme]

My apologies for not including from the getgo.

diorite-vala-0.38.5.txt

[jiri-janousek]

Thanks, @exadisme. I have no idea why the build fails. Diorite builds fine with valac 0.38.4. It might be possible that something has changed in valac 0.38.5 and Diorite needs to be ported. In that case, patches are welcome.

There is a diorite package in AUR. I suggest contacting its maintainer to find out whether he can reproduce your issue and how your build environment differs from his.

[exadisme]

Thank you, will do.

Just an update reverting to vala 0.38.4-1 does the trick.

[jiri-janousek]

The same with

• valac 0.38.7 on Fedora 27
• valac 0.39.92 on Fedora 28

@martinkg, it looks like a Vala bug introduced in valac 0.38.5. The failing dioriteglib4.vapi file is generated by valac.

[martinkg]

Fedora 28 get an update to valac 0.40.0
diorite-4_10_0-build2-f28.log

[jiri-janousek]

Could anyone test commit 7df8c9c?

[martinkg]

7df8c9c
fixes the error "The name `Priority' does not exist" Vala error"
but there are other error/warnings
diorite-4_10_0-build3-f28.log

That build failed because of failing Diorite DB tests - reticketed as #23.

I suggest disabling the test case temporarily only to get Diorite built and report build errors of Nuvola. Once all issues are resolved, you can push the changes to Fedora's repo.
