Inspector false alarm on SObjectField EmailTemplate.fieldName

[Eric Kintzer]

Easy to reproduce (anonymous apex)

SObjectField fld = EmailTemplate.DeveloperName;  // this is valid and compiles fine

generates spurious inspector message Partner API queries can not use Tooling SObjectTypes.

You can work around the inspector warning by coding:

SObjectField fld = Schema.EmailTemplate.DeveloperName;

Eric, I’m not seeing that:

and Tooling API SObjects should never be used for resolution except in standalone SOQL queries. Obviously that’s not holding here, though, as you’re seeing this issue. Are you seeing this in all of your projects or just specific ones?

It appears in just this project. I looked to see if there were any classes named EmailTemplate and there are not, including in managed packages.

Highlighting EmailTemplate and going to its definition - IC2 takes me to the SObject EmailTemplate which is correct. What else would you like me to provide for diagnostics?

Okay, so you’re not able to reproduce this in a standalone project? What if you copy this project to another directory and strip it down to bare-bones? Does it still reproduce? If so, could you put that project somewhere so I can access it?

this may take me a while to get to this
