Deploy Reference Documentation (ALDoc) action missing symbols and xml documentation not showing

[louagej]

I added ALDoc to my settings.json file (with beas supported country):

The CI/CD action deployed the generated documentation:

But the static site does not have all information I expected:

1. MissingTypeSymbol

The symbols for the parameter of a function isn't found

This is my procedure in AL:

    procedure SetStatementNoWithYearPrefix(var CODAStatement: Record "CODA Statement")

And this is the output on the generated Docs:

2. AL XML Documentation does not show

This is the doccumentation in AL:

    /// <summary>
    /// Set Statement No. With Year Prefix.
    /// Banks reset Statement No. every year. To prevent duplicate Statement No. in BC, we need to add year prefix to Statement No.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="CODAStatement">VAR Record "CODA Statement".</param>

And this is the output on the generated Docs:

And the "CODA Statement" record - is that in the same app? or in a dependent app? Is in in a app from the same repository or a different repo?

Hi Freddy,

this is in the be localisation

[freddydk]

got it - sounds like a bug - will investigate

[freddydk]

I can definitely repro this, this is a bug. We will have to populate the a cache folder with referenced apps and hand that over to aldoc. Will work on a fix asap

This reproes for symbols in any base app: https://microsoft.github.io/bcsamples-bingmaps.pte/reference/bingmaps.pte/Codeunit/BingMaps-Geocode.html

If we add the parameter -c (packagecache) where the value is the path to the alpackages, the MissingTypeSymbols-Issue is gone.

Current call in AL-Go:

How we get it working in powershell:

I don't think we can currently control this -c parameter with setup in our project.
