    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,


          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 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
