How to call an entrypoint from the current contract?

Question

There is a straightforward example of how to do this in the docs, however it does not seem to work for me. With the following code which I basically copied straight from the docs ...

entry callAnotherEntryPoint() {
  effect {
    transfer 0tz to entry self.anotherEntryPoint();
  }
}

entry anotherEntryPoint() {
  effect {
    const dothings = "things done";
  }
}

... I get the error unknown entry: "anotherEntryPoint" in vscode and the typescript bindings will not build. I know that anotherEntryPoint isn't the problem, as I can call it successfullly with the test script. What am I missing here?

Help appreciated as always.

Answer 1

The called entrypoint must be defined before the calling entrypoint:

entry anotherEntryPoint() {
  effect {
    const dothings = "things done";
  }
}

entry callAnotherEntryPoint() {
  effect {
    transfer 0tz to entry self.anotherEntryPoint();
  }
}
