there you go

Evyr•18h ago

you're calling startingFen on the FenParser type, not the instance fenParser

Pobiega•18h ago

which is correct. public const startingFen means it belongs to the class, not an instance of the class

cowblokeOP•18h ago

any solutions i find online about this error is adding the public keyword

Evyr•18h ago

oh, nevermind then

Pobiega•18h ago

Honestly, cant see any errors related to access level here. Copied your code into a .net 9 console app and it compiles

cowblokeOP•18h ago

i am using godot here

Pobiega•18h ago

I don't know enough about godot to know how its build system works

cowblokeOP•18h ago

cowblokeOP•18h ago

i'll ask on their server instead

Pobiega•18h ago

can you try restarting godot and/or resetting the build cache?

cowblokeOP•18h ago

they have a pretty deserted c# channel which is why i came here

Pobiega•18h ago

thats what we normally do when the IDE insists on ghost errors

cowblokeOP•18h ago

i'll give it a go reloading godot doesn't do anything

Pobiega•18h ago

only thing I can suggest, you obviously shouldnt have any protection errors for a public const on a public class

cowblokeOP•18h ago

how do i reload the cache on vs?

Pobiega•18h ago

$vsdrunk

MODiX•18h ago

* close VS * remove the hidden folder .vs * remove all bin and obj folder next to each csproj (DO NOT TOUCH THE .git FOLDER OR WHAT'S INSIDE) * restart vs

cowblokeOP•18h ago

my thoughts exactly heyy it worked

Pobiega•18h ago

woo

cowblokeOP•18h ago

cheers do i close the channel or something?

Pobiega•18h ago

type /close
