Getting length of struct throwing errors, but LST seems to show correct output

I'm trying to get the length of a struct, according to the docs, it's just lda #structName
, but I can't get that to work.
Simplified case:
foo .struct
x .word
.ends
org $1000
start
lda #foo
sta $80
rts
run start
When I compile, I get the error:
$ mads -o:foo.xex -l -t foo.asm
lda #foo
foo.asm (7) ERROR: Could not use FOO in this context
Writing listing file...
The LST file seems to be correct though:
mads 2.1.7
Source: foo.asm
1 foo .struct
2 = 0000 x .word
3 .ends
4
5 org $1000
6 start
7 FFFF> 1000-1004> A9 02 lda #foo
8 1002 85 80 sta $80
9 1004 60 rts
10
11 02E0-02E1> 00 10 run start
If I add more fields to the struct, the value is updating correctly in the lst file.

As per conversation here: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/352982-mads-struct-size-use-len-or-sizeof/
I can fix this with using .len
or .sizeof
