Vision issue here. I have imported a large project and there are things complaining about “NameError: global name ‘project’ is not defined” Essentially calling project scripts with “project.myFuncs.callMe(‘Hello World’)” is not working. I just did the tutorial found in the help and it works in 7.9…

You no longer reference “project” scripts with project.package_name.method_name any longer, unless your “Scripting/Project Library/<package_name>” is actually “Scripting/Project Library/project” In the following screenshot I would reference THIS project’s scripts with project.Security.<method_name> …

Did you change anything or just an unmodified backup restore? Can you upload/send your backup to us?

OK so simply put: remove the “project.” and it works! Or… move the scripts into a folder called “project” Thanks.

[image] jhottell: OK so simply put: remove the “project.” and it works! Yes, but... Was this an unmodified upgrade that just stopped working or were you trying to reference project scripts that don't exist in a new project?

It was a big existing project, legacy screens that couldn’t find the scripts any more. Restored by import export not a gateway backup upgrade.

It sounds like these are new scripts. [image] jhottell: I just did the tutorial found in the help and it works in 7.9.9 but not in 8.0.0-beta0

Well its both, lots of screens exported from 7.9.9 had the error then I went to v8.0 help and it instructed me to use “project.script.sub” so updating the documentation is really the answer. (Yes i understand the documentation is underway)

I’m working on replicating this, but I need some clarifications: Did you import a 7.9.9 project, OR did you upgrade an already deployed 7.9.9 project, OR did you restore a 7.9.9 Gateway backup?

jhottell - cmallonee is asking these questions because doing an update of an existing system with the installer or restoring a .gwbk from a prior version into 8 is supposed to automatically put scripts in the right location so they don’t have any issues. In theory, if you do an upgrade, you shouldn…

OK sorry for the delay. It is NOT from gateway or project backup. Its from FIle --> Import and Export. I just tried it again and they all imported into the same space which may be intentional? There are some other reasons why restoring from a gateway backup doesn’t work on my system so I can’t te…

Hi. We have recently upgraded a server from 7.9 to 8 and are seeing a similar issue with referencing the inherited shared scripts. We have several tag event scripts that are calling out a legacy script with the syntax listed above. In one example of ours looks like “shared.OEE.logdowntime()”, but we…
