Module compatibility with LabKey version jmikk  2017-05-03 08:41
Status: Closed
 
Hello all,

Is there a dedicated file somewhere in a module's directory that states what versions of LabKey it is compatible with? If not, is there a way to tell a module (external or official) is compatible with a given version of LabKey, or will one just have to install it to see?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, the module.properties file if you're building from source or the module.xml file under the /config directory of the specific module can dictate whether a module is meant for a specific build of LabKey.

https://www.labkey.org/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=includeModulePropertiesFile

So if the requiredServerVersion field is set to say, 16.3, then that means when the server attempts to load that module, it will immediately recognize that it needs 16.3 or greater and will not allow the module to work otherwise.

Regards,

Jon

Hello,

We've confirmed that the enforcement doesn't appear to be functional.
