Developer Setup

Hi Dear,

I am very interested to develop module for Ignition from scratch but i am stuck with several issues.

One of the issue is on how to set Developer mode on the gateway. i am trying to follow the instruction on https://www.sdk-docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/getting-started/create-a-module/module-signing/#signing-your-module

I am trying to follow the instruction below:

I had modified the ignition.conf and restarted the ignition services.

But i still couldn’t tick the check box and mode still not Developer mode.

Just wondering if anyone can confirm that what i did on ignition.conf was correct ?

Regards

Where did you find those instructions? The page you linked to doesn't include them.

The actual parameter is: -Dignition.allowunsignedmodules=true.

Thank your for replying. Here was the url where i got the wrong parameters

That property enables a separate development feature that allows a module to be uploaded/installed automatically after being built by a build plugin. It's not really as relevant any more in Ignition 8.3 because module hot loading was removed.

Whether you use this or not (it's optional), you would still need -Dignition.allowunsignedmodules=true to allow unsigned modules to run.
