In my parent project, there's a view with button which will trigger a script which should read value from child project on this path `(session.custom.projectProvider)` .  
When use this path in my parent project i got error `global name 'session' is not defined` in gateway setting i defined the parent project as gateway script project .

`tagProviders = session.custom.projectProvider`

That means you aren't trying to access it from within a view, as a parent project's views will only ever existing in a live project in their inherited forms in the leaf project.

Show _ **where** _ you are trying to use this and we may be able to help. Or at least, explain why you can't.
