E2058 error

Name declared both as declare event and declare message

area: types (x2xxx)
fails the build: yes
in plain Lua files: reported as W2058

A name is declared both as declare event (a WoW event) and as declare message (an addon message). Events and messages share one set of names, so one of them has to be renamed.

Example

× failswowlua

declare event MYADDON_READY()declare message MYADDON_READY()print("ready")

✓ compileswowlua

declare event MYADDON_READY()declare message MYADDON_SETTINGS_CHANGED(key: string)print("ready")

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E2058]: `MYADDON_READY` is declared as a message here and as an event elsewhere: events and messages share one set of names
