I know this is an old thread but posing because I had the same question and was struggling with some of the other solutions. There is a system function that will return a list of project on a gateway.

Hi John, Did you find an answer to this question? I'm looking for the same information and was surprised that the info is not included in the getProjectInfo() function. ---

I'm using the IgnitionGateway context to return a list of projects as suggested above. How can I filter to only return runnable projects? Thought there might be a flag or something indicting if it is inheritable or not stashed in the .getProjectProps() function, but I can't decipher which of the many objects returned it might be held in. ---

Call [`ProjectManagerBase::getProject`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.42/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/project/ProjectManagerBase.html#getProject(java.lang.String)) and then [`Project::isRunnable`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.42/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/project/Project.html#isRunnable()). ---

Thanks Kevin. Appreciate you working on a Saturday too! Got this working with... ```python from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway import IgnitionGateway ign = IgnitionGateway.get().getProjectManager() options = [] for project in list(ign.projectNames): obj = ign.getProject(project).get() system.perspective.print('%s %s %s'%(project, obj.isRunnable(), obj.getDescription())) if obj.isRunnable(): options.append({'label': project, 'value': project}) return options ``` [Previous page](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-do-i-get-a-list-of-the-projects-on-a-gateway/11988.md?page=1)
