Yup, hence the post further up in this thread 😉 > [@Particle Build displays wrong line number and/or line text on compile error](https://community.particle.io/t/particle-build-displays-wrong-line-number-and-or-line-text-on-compile-error/13828/5): > > Hmm, I see now! Sorry for answering prematurely without actually trying it out flushed I’ve now tried your samples and got the same results but also a new (hopefully less wrong) explanation; but I’m open for another rebuke (maybe by @Dave - my personal master of preprocessors ;-)) If you add this at the top of your sketches, the lines are shown correctly #pragma SPARK\_NO\_PREPROCESSOR #include "application.h" So my suspission now is, that the preprocessor adds some lines to the “behind the… [Previous page](https://community.particle.io/t/particle-build-displays-wrong-line-number-and-or-line-text-on-compile-error/13828.md?page=1)
