Renaming modules in IoT Edge development

Question

I am following this Microsoft Learn document to develop IoT Edge modules using C#. I have created two modules successfully, but now I want to rename the filtermodule to a samplemodule. Is it enough to rename the file or should I change it somewhere else as well?

Answer 1

When renaming a module in IoT Edge development, it's not enough to simply rename the file. You should also update the module name in several places to ensure everything works correctly:

• Rename the directory of your module to reflect the new name.
• Inside your module's folder, update the name in the module.json file to match the new module name.
• Make sure to update the module name wherever it appears in your deployment.template.json file.
• If your code references the module by name, update those references as well.
• After renaming and updating the references, rebuild and redeploy your IoT Edge solution.
