Re: Difficulty setting up an enumeration

I am beginning to implement scripting support on the cocoa application I am building with Xcode 2.5 on 10.4.

I have some properties working, but now I am horribly stuck for hours on what should be so basic a feature--a custom enumeration in my sdef file for a property.

Here is my code for the property:

<enumeration name="mystates" code="SHPS">

<enumerator name="on time" code="ONTM" description="On time."/>

<enumerator name="almost late" code="ALLT" description="Almost late."/>

<enumerator name="late" code="LATE" description="Late."/>

<enumerator name="on time promised" code="OTPR" description="On time (promised)."/>

<enumerator name="late promised" code="LTPR" description="Late Promised."/>

</enumeration>

<property name="shippingstatus" code="STAT" type="mystates"

description="The shipping status of an order.">

<cocoa key="shippingStatus"/>

</property>

When I run it, my run log shows this error:

.sdef warning for attribute 'shippingStatus' of class 'order' in suite 'Scheduler Suite': 'mystates' is not a valid type name.

I notice that if I view the sdef as an applescript dictionary and look at the shippingstatus property, instead of showing the enumerated names, it just says

"shippingstatus (mystates) : The shipping status of an order."

Any ideas why I can't make this simple enumeration in my sdef?
