Hi guys,

I just wondering if any of you have similar experience like what i had. I was trying to compile the example module from Ignition github repository. The name of the project as **perspective-momentary-module** , which is an example module to develop a simple module for perspective.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/5/f5ddb1111dddca438739921378830b524be756bb.png)

but for some reason i was stuck with error mentioned on the screen shot.

I would appreciate any help to resolve the issue.

Regards

I did some changes, by commenting **ignition-module-plugin** on allprojets section, then move it to plugins sections. Now i am getting different error saying the plugin ignition-module-plugin version 1.2.10-SNAPSHOT couldn’t be resolved.

Anyone has an idea what’s going on ?

Can you post your entire current `build.gradle.kts` and `settings.gradle.kts` files, along with the _full_ error you're getting, not a screenshot, as [preformatted text](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).

Otherwise we're working uphill trying to understand what might be the issue.

After installing ignition version 8.3 beta and downlading the ignition-sdk-example-8.3, i no longer have a problem. So i close the case and thank you for your time. I think ver 8.3 is superb.😃

I was having a similar issue on 8.1, which I think I’ll be sticking with for now.

The issue was with `ignition-sdk-examples/perspective-component-minimal` (branch ignition-8.1), and I fixed it with the following diff to `settings.gradle.kts`:

```diff
pluginManagement {
         gradlePluginPortal()
         mavenCentral()
         mavenLocal()
+ // add the IA repo to pull in the module-signer artifact. Can be removed if the module-signer is maven
+ // published locally from its source-code and loaded via mavenLocal.
+ maven {
+ url = uri("https://nexus.inductiveautomation.com/repository/public/")
+ }
+
     }
 }

```
