VEXcode V5 Voltage Block Broken After 3.0 Update

I’m having an issue with using the “spin [motor] [forward] at [ x ] volts” block. It seems to work when I type a value directly into it. However when I have a variable or something in the input, it fails to compile and says I haven’t defined the variable.

I double-checked my code, and tested the individual parts, and everything checked out okay. I then re-wrote the project in an older version of VEXcode (v2.4.5) on a different computer. It was the exact same code (including feeding variables into the input of the voltage block), but this time it compiled and downloaded just fine without any issues.

Version 2.4.5

After that I concluded it must be something with the block. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone else can see if it’s happening on their end too?

probably related to the switch to block code generating Python, go to the about dialog and switch code generation back to C++ and try that.
