Tutorial 04 03 Add Traditional Bridge Library Code

Tutorial 4: Updating Traditional Bridge

At this point we'll use the Harmony Core Upgrade Tool to make sure the Traditional Bridge templates and library code are up to date. The Harmony Core upgrade tool does three things:

• Check all of your projects and make sure you are using the latest released version of Harmony Core and appropriate versions of all dependencies.

• Provide updated versions of all CodeGen templates.

• Add Traditional Bridge library code into your new Bridge folder.

1. In Visual Studio select Tools > Command Prompt (x64) to open a command prompt window.

2. Then select File > Close Solution from the Visual Studio menu to close the Harmony Core solution.

3. In the command prompt window, move up one level to your main solution directory and execute the following command:

   cd ..
   harmonycore upgrade-latest
   

   You will be required to enter YES to confirm the upgrade, and you should see output like this:

   Scanning 'C:\hc\tutorial\MyApi' for HarmonyCore project files
   Using MSBuild from path: C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.402
   
   This utility will make significant changes to projects and other source files in your Harmony Core development environment. Before running this tool, we recommend checking the current state of your development environment into your source code repository or making a backup copy of the environment if you don't use source code control.  
   
   Type YES to proceed:
   YES
