I am getting this error while a contract compilation using online solidity compiler :

Untitled:23:19: Error: Member "value" not found or not visible after argument-dependent lookup in string storage pointer - did you forget the "payable" modifier? var amount = msg.value; ^-------^

Contract code is like this : 

function transfer(address user) payable {
        var amount = msg.value;
        var sender = msg.sender;

What wrong i am doing ?

  • Nothing obviously wrong with this section. I got it to compile without issues by just wrapping it in contract X {}.

  • There is nothing wrong with it. What solidity compiler version you are using?

I found the error later. Nothing was wrong with the remix. I have declared a string with identifier as 'msg'. And it was the source of all the causes.
