Not eligible for use with Ignition Maker Edition

Module Development
1

Hi All,

A while ago I developed a custom perspective module following the example at:

https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/tree/ignition-8.3/perspective-component

It was working without any issues in Ignition 8.1 Maker Edition.

When I tried to install it on Ignition 8.3 Maker Edition I get the following error.

I tried adding the @Override public boolean isMakerEditionCompatible() { return true; } to GatewayHook but that didn’t fix the problem.

Can you guide me on how to tackle this?

Thank you,

That should be all that is needed. Are you sure you are running the version that includes this change?

I’m sure that cleaned the project and build it from scratch after overriding the isMakerEditionCompatible().

Do I need to switch to the new Ignition 8.3 example to get the new gradle/other configs? Do they have affect on the compilation target?

You absolutely need to build with the resources from 8.3 and with a minimum of v8.3.0 in module.xml. If those are the problem, I'd expect a different error, but that might be a bug.

(I don't use Maven or Gradle, so cannot help with specifics of your build.)

Do I need to maintain two different code bases for backward compatibility? Our clients use a mix of versions from 7.9 to 8.3 for now.

You should have a branch per Ignition version you support.

I use git branches in my repos.

(There's no Perspective in v7.9.)
