"Script does not inherit a Node" error (C#)

sarrowsmith

I've come back to a Mono Godot project after some time away from it, and an upgrade from 3.3.2 to 3.4, and I'm getting

E 0:00:00.417   start: Script does not inherit a Node: res://scripts/Placer.cs
  <C++ Error>   Condition "!valid_type" is true. Continuing.
  <C++ Source>  main/main.cpp:1819 @ start()

The script is set up as a Global Variable placer in autoload, with the class defined as

public class Placer : Node

Any ideas?

(Mono Godot 3.4 on Linux)

Also getting

 Parse Error: The identifier "placer" isn't declared in the current scope.

(placer should be a global autoload)

I also use C# and Mono 3.4. I haven't run into your situation, but I noticed you're using a .cs file in autoload. Is your script attached to a node? My autoload is a .tscn file with the script attached to a regular Node object.

It's not -- it's just a bunch of static functions so I never thought of attaching it to a scene that could be instantiated. But I've just come back to this project after a couple of weeks on another and the errors have gone away without me having changed anything. So problem solved anyway.
