Unrecognizable problem with interface creation

[yar]

stable 2022.4.11

It is not clear what this is and what the problem is

msg_with_interface.vl (4.8 KB)

upd: is it because of the “create” operation? But it is impossible to recognize

AFAIK an interface only defines operations with their inputs and outputs. The pads / properties you’d add in the class that implements the interface.

@tonfilm explained that to me once : Interfaces are not supposed to have constructors (Create).

And also yes, as @bjoern said, interfaces only defines signatures.

I think the main problem is not transparent error

I spent five minutes trying to find the cause of the error in the UI and understood it only with brute force

And in general, I really hope for minimal inheritance - I really miss this thing in some cases

Interfaces are not supposed to have constructors (Create)

Came across this before as well, interface are working in gamma but a real nightmare to deal with.

They aren’t officially supported (yet ?) : https://thegraybook.vvvv.org/reference/getting-started/dotnet/interfaces.md

@lecloneur May I ask you to add suggestions there? 🤓

Interface workflow suggestions

Hello there, I know interfaces are not officially supported yet, but since I’ve been using them quite heavily over the last months, thought it would be a good idea to collect some suggestions here for when they’ll be an official thing :-) So, the first thing is that it’s a bit tedious for now to implement interface operations - one has to make the class implement that interface, search for its definition, and then Space + drag to select the pins and their operations and paste those in your cla…

In upcoming previews the Create operation in the patch explorer will turn red. Thanks for the report.
