Call method with [Scope('OnPrem')] in extension with target Cloud

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Bruno_Martins 15

I have an extension the i pretend to compile with both targets Cloud/OnPrem.

I've set the scope of some methods with [Scope('OnPrem')] then i'm invoking them in the extensions code.

It all works fine if i set the extension target to OnPrem, but if i set the extension target to Cloud i get the error AL296 - the type or method cannot be used  for 'Cloud' development.

I wanted to manage a single extension. Am i missing something?

What's the best aproach to these situations?

Thanks!

Regards

Bruno M.

    Hello,

    Are you using a Sandbox for the Cloud development?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    no i'm not using a sandbox.

    i'm developing localy.

    I already have a cloud working app. What i need now is to add some onprem functionality to it, so i can deploy it with onprem target.

    I am trying to have one single app by using scopes in the code and different targets in the compilation to deploy onprem or cloud.

    Thanks.

    Hi Bruno,

    It's good to hear that you are trying to achieve something that's really exciting. But I want to give you some suggestions and ideas:

    * For On-Premise and Cloud Sandbox - launch.json file should be different

    * Some functionality is not available for Cloud Sandbox but still working for On-Prem

    * You are also not allowed to use DotNet functionality directly in Cloud Sandbox to achieve this you can use Azure Functions but this is easily achieved in an On-Premise environment.

    So if you are planning to develop an extension that work on both Cloud and On-Prem it's better to do all your development for Cloud Sandbox, it will sure work for On-Prem deployment.

    Note: If you are using an On-Premise environment then make sure to use the latest Business Central version e.g. 2021 wave 1, to get aware of what features are deprecated and what's newly introduced.

    thanks for your suggestions.
