Custom Labels not resolving

[George Mandala]

Whenever I use a custom label from the System.Label namespace I get a "Cannot resolve symbol" error even after I regenerate the offline symbol table.

Should they be resolving?

Hi, George. Labels are resolved against your local *.labels files and not based on the contents of the OST. Have you retrieved your labels into the local project?

FWIW, I have wanted to change this to add the labels from the org into the OST and "merge" those with the local ones for completion and resolution to avoid the need to download them into the local project. Same with other special Apex compile-time expressions for Visualforce pages, etc. I just haven't done that yet.

After I downloaded the labels into my local project, they started resolving. Thanks!

Glad to hear! I'll definitely look into that change I mentioned previously so this works whether you have the labels locally or not.
