Maybe somebody knows how i can call function from script library in gateway event scripts? Example i have script “myfuncs” with function “myFunction”. I have tryed call function in this way: project.myfuncs.myFunction() but nothing happened. Function has worked in script console. ---

It depends on where your event script is placed. If it is a tag event, you can’t use ‘project._’ scripts. You can only use 'shared._’ scripts. Tags aren’t part of a project, so no project resources are available. If you need to trigger on tag changes in a project context, use the project’s event scripts. Same sort of thing applies to any of the global events. ---

Gateway scripts can’t access project resources, so you’ll have to make sure your scripts are stored in Global / Script Library (shared). In your gateway event script, call your script using `shared.myfuncs.myFunction()` ---

I’m calling a project script from a Gateway Event Script. Now I’m confused as to why that’s working. But it’s definitely working. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the question or the terminology? Under “Project”, there is a section called “Scripts.” Underneath it are “Script Library [project]”, “Client Event Scripts”, and “Gateway Event Scripts.” I’ve added a timer event in the Gateway Even Scripts. It calls project.my\_funcs.my\_func() with no issues. Under “Global” I have a “Script Library [shared]” but no “Gateway Event Scripts [shared]” or similar. I have no shared scripts at all, so I know I’m not accidentally calling the wrong thing. So what am I missing here? Using version 7.9.9 ---

I am able to access this library from script console. But If I use it in Gateway Tag change event, It gives me an error. ## Code from pyepc import decode ##Code ##Error com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.JythonExecException: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "D:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\site-packages\pyepc\ __init_\_.py", line 1, in from .epc import SGTIN, SSCC, decode # noqa File "D:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\site-packages\pyepc\epc.py", line 9, in from . import utils File "D:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\site-packages\pyepc\utils.py", line 11, in import requests File "D:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\site-packages\requests\__ init_\_.py", line 45, in from .exceptions import RequestsDependencyWarning File "D:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\site-packages\requests\exceptions.py", line 9, in from urllib3.exceptions import HTTPError as BaseHTTPError File "D:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\site-packages\requests\compat.py", line 42, in if is\_py2: ImportError: cannot import name JSONDecodeError ##Error
