How to specify code flow on ADK version?

Hello everybody guys, my question is the following:

I saw that in the `ACAPIinc.h` file there are many constants for the software version like `ServerMainVers_xxx`, now I', doing the migration to AC27 and I saw that there are some old code blocks that are signaling through intellisense a compiler error.

Basically they can't find the new functions definition wrapped by the `MigrationHeader.h`, but they actually shouldn't search for it since that piece of code should be for AC25.

#include "PluginIpcCommandTask.h" #if defined(ServerMainVers_2500) #include "Utilities.h" #include <spdlog/spdlog.h> #include "GSRoot/StringConversion.hpp" #include "HTTP/Client/ClientConnection.hpp" #include "HTTP/Client/Request.hpp" #include "HTTP/Client/Response.hpp" #include "MemoryOBinaryChannel.hpp" #include "JSON/JSON/JDOMParser.hpp" #include "JSON/JSON/JDOMWriter.hpp" #include "JSON/JSON/Value.hpp" namespace knauf::archicad::plannersuite { PluginIpcCommandTask::PluginIpcCommandTask(CommandId commandId, const std::string& commandParams) : commandId(commandId), commandParams(commandParams) { GSErrCode err = ::ACAPI_Goodies(APIAny_GetHttpConnectionPortID, &connectionPort); if (err != NoError) { throw; } } ... doing other stuff #endif

Somehow I'm not using correctly the constants, since they are all enabled (this piece of code shouldn't be considered since I'm working on AC27 ADK Solution).

Thanks in advance 🙂

P.S.: I know that by placing the migration header I would solve the intellisense error, but actually I don't really solve the underlying issue.

im sorry im kinda having troubles to understand the question. waht is a adk? do you mean SKD?

i can only comment on this: you state that you do a migration to AC27:

"I', doing the migration to AC27"

but you are using the ACAPI_Goodies API Call, that does not exist anymore.

https://graphisoft.github.io/archicad-api-devkit/modules.html

i think your call is now in the AC27 API named "ACAPI_Command_GetHttpConnectionPort()"

i didnt knew that there is a migration header. haha. cool stuff.

check out the goodies example. there is no API Call left that has the name goodies in it.

as a comment: i really like that they renamed those functions. "goodie" was as meaningless as a namingconvetion can be.

and i like that knauf is working on a plugin 😉

If you build for AC27 then ServerMainVers_2700 is defined but all previous versions are also defined (why?).

So, instead of writing code like this

#if defined(ServerMainVers_2500) // code for AC25 #endif

you can do this

#if !defined (ServerMainVers_2700) // code for AC26 and older versions #endif

Thanks for both the answer guys, this is what I was searching for.

#if !defined (ServerMainVers_2700) // code for AC26 and older versions #endif

The code between the pre-compiled headers is working until AC26, and not only for AC26.

Have a nice day!
