Hello,

I’ve been working with the A360 package SDK for a few months now (among other projects, so not continuously), and have been so far unable to solution for a problem that’s been bothering me quite a bit. 

I have had a good bit of success creating my own actions, mostly performing some custom web interactions with Selenium, but for some reason when I try to delete all of the sample commands that come zipped up with the SDK, I lose the ability to build. I narrowed this down to specifically FindMaxMinNumber, and was able to delete the rest of the command classes successfully but the moment I delete this class, my build fails with the following error message: 

Execution failed for task ':compileJava'.
> com.automationanywhere.commandsdk.processing.ProcessingException: Incorrectly typed data found for annotation element public abstract com.automationanywhere.commandsdk.annotations.CommandPkg$Returns$] com.automationanywhere.commandsdk.annotations.CommandPkg.multiple_returns() (Found data of type com.automationanywhere.commandsdk.annotations.CommandPkg.Returns.])

I have tried a million different things as suggested by the only other related topic that I was able to find 

but none of them have been helpful. I do have some void actions that are decorated with @Execute, so was hopeful that I would find some success in that thread, but I did not. I have confirmed that my project is building with Java 11, which was the eventual solution found in that thread. I also tried the alternative presented to change the void actions to return optional BooleanValues with no success.

I have resorted to trying to trim back all of the other actions and classes I created, and am trying to build a totally new project with just one command, and a corresponding test file. That command’s annotation details appear below: 

The only thing that allows my project to build is by reinstating FindMaxMinNumber.

I am primarily a C# developer, so gradle is a bit outside of my wheelhouse, but I feel like I’m losing my mind trying to figure this out. Every week or so I sit down and spend a handful of hours trying to get out from under this thing, but each time I come away defeated with a label on that action saying that it’s not supposed to be in there and get back to working on other stuff.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help!
