What changed

  • Removed underscore-to-dash conversion logic that caused mismatches with AlDoc
  • App names like ‘Exclude_APIV1’ now preserve underscores in generated file paths
  • Added test coverage for underscore handling in app names
  • Fixes documentation generation failures due to path mismatch
  • Behaviour changes for users or extensions.

AL objects touched

  • Actions/BuildReferenceDocumentation/BuildReferenceDocumentation.HelperFunctions.ps1: modified, not in the BC? snapshot

Context

  • Systems: development, platform
  • From the description: “AL-Go replaced underscores like Replace('_', '-') meaning app names like _Exclude_APIV1_ becomes -Exclude-APIV1-. AlDoc doesn’t do this and allows underscores.”
