Build Number b0

Module Development
1

Dears,
I am deploying a new module developed with the SDK.
I need to set the proper build number, based on the build timestamp.
Following the tips of your user guides and the forum, I always get “b0” after compiling it.

The code in the module pom file is:

<properties>
<ignition-platform-version>8.0.7</ignition-platform-version>
<ignition-sdk-version>${ignition-platform-version}</ignition-sdk-version>
<module-name> KPI</module-name>
<module-description>A module that provides the implementation of new KPI functionalities</module-description>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
<timestamp>${maven.build.timestamp}</timestamp>
<maven.build.timestamp.format>yyyyMMddHH</maven.build.timestamp.format>
<buildNumber>${maven.build.timestamp}</buildNumber>
</properties>

Where am I wrong?
Thank you so much.

Best regards,
Andrea

You would need to include the build number in the version you specify when configuring the ignition-maven-plugin in your build module.

If you copied from the examples it probably just looks like this:

<moduleVersion>${project.version}</moduleVersion>

You would need to modify this so it is in the format major.minor.rev.build.

Hi Kevin,
thank you for the reply.

I did it, but the build number results always 0.
In the configuration tag (in the buid pom file):

      <moduleId>com.xxx.ignition.kernel.kpi</moduleId>
      <moduleName>${module-name}</moduleName>
      <moduleDescription>${module-description}</moduleDescription>
      <moduleVersion>${project.version}</moduleVersion>
      <requiredIgnitionVersion>${ignition-platform-version}</requiredIgnitionVersion>
      <requiredFrameworkVersion>8</requiredFrameworkVersion>
      <licenseFile>license.html</licenseFile>
      <documentationFile>doc/index.html</documentationFile>

I copied it from the examples, where the version is:
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

Let me know if I can give you further details.
Thank you so much!

Well what I’m saying is that using ${project.version} is not sufficient. You need to change it to use your custom buildNumber property somehow.

Thank you Kevin, I understood. Now the build number is as expected.
Best,
Andrea
