BUG?: OnStart syntax error has no red "X"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I know this has already been posted to the forums, but this needs more attention. With the recent update, OnVisible is NOT firing in either the IDE nor mobile apps. 

Our apps arent' working properly. Please address this asap. 

Thank you

Yep... there was a sneaky little ";" at the end of my OnStart function. NO ERROR MESSAGE to warn me.

    Hi @ericonline ,

    Have you solved your problem?

     

    If you want to track the errors within PowerApps, I think "App Checker" functionality could achieve your needs. The screenshot as below:1.JPG

    More details about App Checker functionality in PowerApps, please check the following blog:

    Hi @v-xida-msft . The app checker does work for finding OnStart syntax errors. The red "X" for OnStart syntax errors used to be part of the app but was removed. Wasn't sure if it was a bug or an intentional thing to leave out. 

    Thanks for the response!
