Cant see custom types from managed packages

Hi, 

I get the error: Error 5 Package Visibility: Type is not visible: blah when I am trying to reference a global type from a managed package.

I think this is related to the tooling metadata api, is there a way to disable that so that managed package types are visible.

There is a setting in mavensmate that disables this and things will save correctly. I am able to access and save the type from the sfdc ui and mavensmate with the tooling api turned off. Not being able to use custom types from managed packages makes this kind of un-usable.

Hi maks,

Thanks for letting us know. We haven't faced this issue before. We will work on investigating and fixing it withing next week or so.

Thanks,

Vladimir

Hey any word on this? I would really love to use the tool before dreamforce. 

Hi Maks,

We're in the process of finding a way to resolve this issue. We can't turn off tooling API as this is not the correct solution - Metadata API works slower and gives less opportunities than Tooling API.

Sorry for not updating you for a while.

Thanks,

Vladimir

Hi maks,

Can I please ask you to share with us what managed package are you using to get this issue?

Thanks,

Vladimir

Same problem.

Hi ShaunLuttin,

Can you please check if the metadata file (-meta.xml) for the file which is not building contains information about managed package dependency (as well as the correct version)?

If this information is not present - please add this manually in the metadata file or from the Salesforce UI, pull changes and try again.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Vladimir
