From this code

sprite.getGlobalBounds().getPosition()

I get this error:

error: ‘sf::FloatRect’ {aka ‘class sf::Rect<float>’} has no member named ‘getPosition’
   26 |         info.setPosition(image->sprite.getGlobalBounds().getPosition());
      |                                                          ^~~~~~~~~~~


Accoding to the documentation Rect does have a member getPosition: https://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.6.1/classsf_1_1Rect.php

What am I missing?

Ups my bad. I just realized that I'm still on SFML 2.5.1. Accoding to the changelog, the missing function was introduced in 2.6

Yep, it's been added in 2.6.

I highly recommend to update SFML ;)

As a side note for SFML 3 users, the functions were replaced in favor of data members position and size.
