Passing Enums Into Objects in Different Files - c++

Question

So I am currently working on a text-based RPG, and I have run into an odd issue. In working on the weapon coding, I chose to go with enums for the type and rarity of the weapon. I have already programmed everything for my Weapon class; yet, when I try to create a Weapon object, I get an error having to do with my enums -- error: 'common' is not a type. The relevant code is as follows:
In Enum_Weapon.h:
#ifndef ENUM_WEAPON_H_INCLUDED
#define ENUM_WEAPON_H_INCLUDED
enum rarity{common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary};
enum weaponType{axe, bow, crossbow, dagger, gun, mace,
polearm, stave, sword, wand, thrown};
#endif // ENUM_WEAPON_H_INCLUDED
And in Weapon.h:
#ifndef WEAPON_H
#define WEAPON_H
#include "Item.h"
#include "Enum_Weapon.h"
class Weapon : public Item{
public:
Weapon();
Weapon(rarity r, weaponType t, std::string nam, int minDam,
int maxDam, int stamina = 0, int strength = 0,
int agility = 0, int intellect = 0);
The code, of course, goes on; but this is all the code that is relevant to my error. Finally, when I try to create a Weapon object, I get the error:
#ifndef LISTOFWEAPONS_H
#define LISTOFWEAPONS_H
#include "Weapon.h"
#include "Enum_Weapon.h"
class ListOfWeapons
{
public:
ListOfWeapons();
protected:
private:
Weapon worn_greatsword(common, sword, "Worn Greatsword", 1, 2);
};
#endif // LISTOFWEAPONS_H
The same error also happens with the sword enum. I have researched the problem, but I can't find anything similar to the issue that I am having. Any help is much appreciated!

Your weapon attribute was a function declaration, not a variable definition. You must pass in default values in the constructor.
class ListOfWeapons
{
public:
ListOfWeapons() :
worn_greatsword(common, sword, "Worn Greatsword", 1, 2)
{
//...constructor stuff
}
protected:
private:
//function decl
//Weapon worn_greatsword(common, sword, "Worn Greatsword", 1, 2);
Weapon worn_greatsword;
};
