[Question]: Specify AL Language Version

[Gummi007]

Question

In our AL-GO PR build we are getting the following error AL0444 Malformed Word report layout at location....
microsoft/AL#7943 here is a "similar" issue and the reason was a bug in the AL Language version so in my development environment I tried switching the version to the release version 14.2.1249978 and built the app which results in the same error. However when I use the newest pre-release 15.0.1290655 I do not get the error when building.

Is there a way to see what version is being used and is it configurable?

Hi @Gummi007

The compiler version is taken from the BC artifact, used to build the apps and it isn't configurable.

The version can be seen in the longs, when compiling the apps. E.g. https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/actions/runs/12950807136/job/36124457613#step:9:534

Microsoft (R) AL Compiler version 15.0.19.45847

You can actually configure which compiler you use, by using the vsixFile setting:
