Identifying Indigo Major Version

The following works just fine (and theoretically should be future proof):

Code: Select all

indigo.server.version.split('.')[0]

I was just curious if there was a convenience method for identifying the major version.

There is an internal plugin API which we we haven't publicized yet that you can use:

Code: Select all

if self.serverVersCompatWith("7.0.4"):
    # do something that only is allowed on 7.0.4.

It compares the passed in string, which can be of format X, X.Y, or X.Y.Z to the current server version and returns True if the server version is at least that high.

Thanks Matt - my use case is much more pedantic. I occasionally write things directly to the Indigo log folder and want to know what path to shoot for.

Your method above will be very useful elsewhere though.

Ah, gotcha. Your split technique should be fine – I don't expect that would ever not work correctly.

I thought there was an API call to get the base Indigo directory?

Ah, yes there is: indigo.server.getLogsFolderPath()

Ah, yes there is: indigo.server.getLogsFolderPath()

I like that better. It's easier to tell what the code does (when I come back to look at it later, having forgot).

Thanks all.
