error: No type assignment with name foo found in the module bar

Hi,

I am trying to factor my types as much as possible in my ASN.1 definition and I have an error that some type definitions are missing.

I define a simple Commands.asn file:

COMMAND DEFINITIONS::=
BEGIN

    CMD-HEADER ::= SEQUENCE {
        arg1 INTEGER(1 .. 4),
        arg2 INTEGER(1 .. 3)
    }

    CMD-STANDBY ::= SEQUENCE {
        header CMD-HEADER
    }
END

The asn1scc compiler gives me the error error: No type assignment with name 'CMD-HEADER' found in the module 'COMMANDS'.

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

I saw that there was no problem if I defined the CMD-HEADER object in another file and imported it into the COMMANDS module.

I can't reproduce. Can you attach the file that is causing the issue?
The error you report does not match the model you provide (there is no module COMMANDS in your example)

Also please provide the command line you used.
I tried the following:

$ asn1scc -c Commands.asn

and I got no errors.

Ok thanks I found the error thanks to your remark @maxime-esa.

I have two Commands.asn files in two different folders and each defines the COMMANDS module.

In my list of ASN.1 files that I send to the compiler I had :

asn1files="$BASE_DIR/template/Commands.asn
           $BASE_DIR/template/Telemetry.asn
           $BASE_DIR/icd_foo/Commands.asn
           $BASE_DIR/icd_foo/Telemetry.asn"

The CMD-HEADER object is only defined in the icd_foo/Commands.asn file. So there must be some kind of module name conflict or something.

Now that I have changed the name of the second COMMANDS module, I no longer have the error.

I will be more careful to make sure that the name of each module is unique in the future!

PS: I don't know why there is a missing "S" in the snippet I shared, I thought I copied/pasted and not rewrote. 🤔
