Is there a change in the API on version 8.0.3 ?

I am getting following error in designer when I build and install the Perspective Example module on Ignition 8.0.3-rc2 (b2019072512).

Yes, @PerryAJ has been updating the example here: https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/pull/28/files

I’m not sure if it’s completely up to date right now, but I’m sure he’ll finish the PR and we’ll merge it once 8.0.3 is released.

Yep! There are a number of changes/api additions for 8.0.3. Should have the final updates for that PR within a day or two of 8.0.3 being released.

Thank you.

Are these examples available now for us to download ? The perspective component example at https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples seem to be older.

It’s been available as a PR here https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/pull/28/files

I just requested someone take a look at it to get it merged in, but until that’s done, you can clone my fork with the updates here https://github.com/PerryAJ/ignition-sdk-examples/tree/more-perspective-components

Just to follow up, the 8.0.3 update did get merged in. Feel free to post an issue on GH if you run into problems or have questions.
