PopupMenu signals not working

Question

Hello, I am trying to do what I think is a very basic context menu (like in the sims) but i am running into an issue where it seems like the signals aren't emitting.

I stripped it down to just the following:

The code is:

extends Control


# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready() -> void:
	pass


# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	pass


func _on_popup_menu_id_pressed(id: int) -> void:
	print(id)

What happens is I load the scene, click, and the Popupmenu goes away, but I do not get anything printed out to the console. I cannot tell if I am misusing Popupmenu, or if there is a bug I cannot figure out.

I uploaded a video.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

func _ready() -> void:
	print(item_count)

item_count

Hi, it says that variable isn’t defined. Is there something else to it that I would need to do?

Apologies. item_count is a property of the PopupMenu class. You need to put a reference to the node in front of the property.

Basically I am curious as to how many items your popup menu thinks it has.

I believe the PopupMenu needs to run show() to work.
If you are only setting visibility then it won’t work.
$PopupMenu.show()

No worries, here is the output. It seems consistent since I do only have one item.
