[BUG?] third party script function without vision client scope can't be imported in designer console

[mazeyrat]

Ignition 8.1.3

When I add some script function in a module,
if those script function are exposed for gateway only scope, I can use them in perspective view in the designer with no issue.
Autocompletion is ok.

But in the designer console, only the script function with a vision client scope are exposed and can be used.
Function with only a gateway scope can’t be used in this context : error on import and no autocompletion available.

It would be usefull to be able touse those kind of function from the designer console too !

Add them to Designer-scope then? There is a DesignerModuleHook.

It seems that script functions added in gateway module hook are automatically added in "perspective" designer area.

Script console must be the exception ?

Yes, this is a bug. The script library always gives you scripting hints for the local scope. I filed a ticket a while back to add a selector, so you can choose (while in the scripting area) which scope’s autocompletion you want.

Yes, but the difference is that the script console never runs in gateway scope. Perspective always runs in gateway scope.
