Is ignition-module-tools working for version 8.3?

Module Development
1

Hello,

I'm just starting to explore the SDK. I'm fairly new to this type of development environment, although I consider myself to have a very good knowledge of Ignition itself.

I'm using a clone of ignition-module-tools to generate a brand-new project from scratch. From what I can tell, the latest branch on GitHub generates new projects compatible with Ignition 8.1.20.

In my case, I've configured my development environment to test against Ignition 8.3.x, since that's the version used by most of our customers. Unless I've missed some instructions, I haven't been able to get the generated project working with 8.3, even though the build succeeds and I'm able to install the resulting .modl file.

Is there a documented procedure somewhere that explains how to modify a newly generated project so that it can be used with Ignition 8.3?

I know that if I use the ignition-sdk-examples/perspective-component or ignition-sdk-examples/perspective-component-minimal examples, everything works correctly. At that point, I could simply modify one of those projects until it becomes equivalent to a freshly generated project from ignition-module-tools.

However, I'd prefer to start with something as clean as possible from the beginning.

Any suggestions?

This is what I ended up doing for 8.3.2. Essentially piecing together what I needed to get my first “Hello World” in the place where I needed it.

I have also bookmarked this recent topic for future reference, but have not had time to understand it on any level:
