GatewayException: Error serializing parameters when passing Python function into message payload

Ignition

I attempted to create a gateway event message so I could send a message and run scripts on the gateway scope through the designer. Here is the gateway script:

However, when testing this in the script console I got the below error. Is this just not possible to do?

edit: would probably be helpful to include what I have in the script console

Jython function objects are not transmissible over the network connection between designer and gateway. Code must already exist in the gateway to be callable.

{ Psssst! system.util.runInGateway }

I tried putting the function in a project library script and got the same error. Does the project that the library script lives in need to be configured as the Gateway Scripting Project for my script to work?

No, just in the same project as the message handler. (Look for errors in your gateway log.)
