## `-SNAPSHOT` Dependencies **EA SDK dependencies should be available starting Monday, July 29.** The builds for these are scheduled weekly. EA dependency APIs cannot be guaranteed to be stable. Be prepared to refactor during the EA window. These artifacts are published to [nexus.inductiveautomation.com](https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/) like SDK artifacts for regular releases. But with a few differences: - As `-SNAPSHOT` versions. Even npm packages. - To "beta" subprepositories. They allow anonymous access like the regular subrepos. ### Maven Dependencies #### Gradle For resolving EA Maven artifacts in Gradle builds, add the `inductiveautomation-beta` repository to either your build script or root settings script. ```kotlin // build.gradle.kts // ... repositories { // ... maven { name = "inductiveautomation-beta" url = uri( "https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-beta/" ) } // ... } dependencies { // ... implementation("com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk:ignition-common:8.3.0-SNAPSHOT") // ... } ``` ```kotlin // settings.gradle.kts // ... dependencyResolutionManagement { // ... repositories { maven { name = "inductiveautomation-beta" url = uri( "https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-beta/" ) } // ... ``` #### Maven For Maven builds, add the add the `inductiveautomation-beta` repository to your POM. ```xml ia-beta https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-beta true com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk ignition-common 8.3.0-SNAPSHOT pom provided ``` #### SDK Javadoc A link is in the usual place, at the SDK Examples [Javadocs & Notable API Changes](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/wiki/Javadocs-&-Notable-API-Changes#83) wiki page. ### npm Dependencies Yarn projects can be configured to resolve EA npm packages. ```yaml # .yarnrc.yml # ... npmScopes: inductiveautomation: npmRegistryServer: "https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-beta-node-packages/" # ... ``` ```json // package.json // ... "dependencies": { // ... "@inductiveautomation/ignition-lib": "^1.3.0-SNAPSHOT", "@inductiveautomation/ignition-react": "^1.3.0-SNAPSHOT", "@inductiveautomation/perspective-client": "^2.3.0-SNAPSHOT", // ... }, // ... ``` That `^.3.0-SNAPSHOT` semantic version pattern will resolve to the newest snapshot build similar to the way resolution of Maven snapshot artifacts are resolved in Gradle and Maven builds. After a `yarn install` the lockfile will contain EA npm dependencies like this one, for example. ```yml # yarn.lock # ... "@inductiveautomation/perspective-client@npm:^2.3.0-SNAPSHOT": version: 2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.20240722.1027 resolution: "@inductiveautomation/perspective-client@npm:2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.20240722.1027" # ... ``` ---

`8.3.0-beta1` SDK JARs are blocked pending troubleshooting of a publishing issue. At first glance the npm SDK packages are published, though I need to loop back around after figuring out the previous. ---

Probably. The publishing of SDK JARs did make it partway through but then got stuck on at least two with the same Maven coordinates. So there are some `8.3.0-beta1` JARs up there but I don't know how many of them. ---

And not in the `inductiveautomation-beta` repo, I meant to update all the guiidance above but then this happened so it was time to figure out what was going on. ---

It's been a long time since I have worked with Ant so forgot about its dependency resolve capabilities. ---

## `-beta` Dependencies **Beta SDK dependencies are available starting Monday, July 28.** The builds for these are scheduled weekly, though a few builds may pop up off-schedule. The guidelines in the post at the top of the thread apply, except for a few key differences: - APIs should be stable or at least nonbreaking, during Beta. But we can't guarantee that 100%--if we have to fix a significant API signature issue in breaking manner, we will do so. - These are fixed prerelease versions, unlike `-SNAPSHOT` versions. Similar to `-rc` versions. When there's a new release, the prerelease version sequence increments. E.g. `-beta1` \> `-beta2`. - These artifacts live in our more widely known release subprepositories, not in our `beta` subrepositories. Despite the prerelease version name. ### Maven Dependencies #### Gradle For resolving EA Maven artifacts in Gradle builds, add the `inductiveautomation-releases` repository to either your build script or root settings script. ```kotlin // build.gradle.kts // ... repositories { // ... maven { name = "inductiveautomation-releases" url = uri( "https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-releases/" ) } // ... } dependencies { // ... remember to increment if you need a later version ... implementation("com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk:ignition-common:8.3.0-beta1") // ... } ``` ```kotlin // settings.gradle.kts // ... dependencyResolutionManagement { // ... repositories { maven { name = "inductiveautomation-releases" url = uri( "https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-releases/" ) } // ... ``` #### Maven For Maven builds, add the add the `inductiveautomation-releases` repository to your POM. ```xml ia-releases https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-releases false com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk ignition-common 8.3.0-beta1 pom provided ``` #### SDK Javadoc Links are still in the usual place, at the SDK Examples [Javadocs & Notable API Changes](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/wiki/Javadocs-&-Notable-API-Changes#83) wiki page. ### npm Dependencies Yarn projects can be configured to resolve EA npm packages. ```yaml # .yarnrc.yml # ... npmScopes: inductiveautomation: npmRegistryServer: "https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/inductiveautomation-node-packages/" # ... ``` ```json // package.json // ... "dependencies": { // ... "@inductiveautomation/ignition-web-ui": "1.3.0-beta1", "@inductiveautomation/perspective-client": "2.3.0-beta1", // ... }, // ... ```
