After I upgraded from Roku OS 7.7 to Roku OS 8.0 this error happened. I have two files included in MainScene.xml

<component name="MainScene" extends="Scene" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://devtools.web.roku.com/schema/RokuSceneGraph.xsd">
	<!-- importing main handler -->
    <script type="text/brightscript" uri="pkg:/components/Album.brs" />
    <script type="text/brightscript" uri="pkg:/components/Video.brs" />
    <script type="text/brightscript" uri="pkg:/components/MainScene.brs" />
</component>

Album.brs

function CreateAlbum()
    return {
        type: "album",
        id: "",
        isModified: false,
        name: "",
        description: "",
        posterURL: "",
        url: "",
        uri: "",
        videos: [],
        totalVideos: 0,
        addVideo: addVideo,
        path: "" ' caching path on roku device
        setId: setId,
        setName: setName,
    }
end function

function setId(id)
    m.id = id
    return m
end function

function setName(name)
    m.name = name
    return m
end function


function getId()
    return m.id
end function

function getName()
    return m.name
end function

Video.brs

function CreateVideo()
    this = {
        type: "video",
        id: "",
        name: "",
        description: "",
        duration: "",
        posterURL: "",
        url: "",
        backgroundURL: "",
        
        setId: setId,
        setName: setName,
    }
    
    return this
end function

function setId(id)
    m.id = id
    return m
end function

function setName(name)
    m.name = name
    return m
end function

In Roku Os 7.7 I didn't face this problem. And now I have a compile error. Strange indeed.

An error occurred while attempting to compile the application's components:

Please help me to find any workaround. I understand that I can include methods inside constructor function but I need to change so much. I have getters and setters outside constructor everywhere. Any help highly appreciated !

I'm not sure why it wasn't an error in v7.7 (I know little about roSG), but the workaround seems simple.  Just change the name of one or both of the setId functions in Video.brs and/or Album.brs:

function CreateVideo()
    this = {
        type: "video",
        id: "",
        name: "",
        description: "",
        duration: "",
        posterURL: "",
        url: "",
        backgroundURL: "",
        
        setId: setVideoId, ' <--------- Don't forget to change this one, too
        setName: setName,
    }
    
    return this
end function

function setVideoId(id)   '<------- Change the name of the function
    m.id = id
    return m
end function

That should be all you have to do as long as you're always calling setId through the object returned by CreateVideo()

I ran in to the same thing, I believe the compiler stricter with 8.0
My duplicate functions were allowed (and worked fine as far as I know) in 7.7, which is somewhat baffling.
I changed the function names and all is well.
