Hello I have a 7.9.12 project, it is using SHARED called between the client pictures and the Script Library located inside the GLOBAL I have references from certain button from the picture as follow shared.ICI\_USER.my\_method(123,123) where ICI\_USER is the name of the library has it appears in the system tree, my\_method is the name of the method defined inside the ICI\_USER as follow Def my\_method(param1, param2): When clicking on the picture push button it does invoke the my\_method perfectly on multiple computer, except one. on that one, where the project was restored, I get an error message indicating that my\_method does not exist. Similarly, the same picture contains calls to method that are nested inside object and the call looks like event.source.parent.getComponent(“MAIN”).leavemain() where MAIN is the object where the method is located, leavemain is the method on the same exact computer the same calls are not working either same error pops up indicating that the method does not exist as said this is working perfectly on other machines I restored the project and I cannot find the reason why the calls would not work on one and only one machine which has the same exact version of ignition than the other one. none of the machine are connected to each other, the project are standalone project more interestingly, the machine on which the project is no longer working was working perfectly until…until I don’t know what but something changed. I hate the obvious it used to work but it is not working anymore but it is what is happening…any idea ? thanks Phil ---

I have run into this in the past and I am unable to explain why. Phil Turmel has given explanations about this so you can search his posts. As in interim solution I tried renaming the shared.{name} to another name and it worked, although, I am not sure why. Since then I have been using external packages and it has been working fine. I hope this helps.
