I am trying out a simple sendRequest across my gateway network servers, ```auto print system.util.getGatewayAddress() returnValue = system.util.sendRequest(project='Carefree_Systems', messageHandler='deliverRoster', payload={'text':'Hello, There!'}, remoteServer='carefree-web') print returnValue ``` I have my message handler set to just return the payload[‘text’] while I am testing it out, I am getting the following error when I try to send the request through the script console. ```auto Java Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 2, in at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayInterface.newGatewayException(GatewayInterface.java:351) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayInterface.sendMessage(GatewayInterface.java:321) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayInterface.sendMessage(GatewayInterface.java:278) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayInterface.invoke(GatewayInterface.java:934) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.script.DesignerSystemUtilities$SendRequestManager.invokeRequest(DesignerSystemUtilities.java:336) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.script.DesignerSystemUtilities.sendRequestInternal(DesignerSystemUtilities.java:212) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.builtin.SystemUtilities.sendRequestInternal(SystemUtilities.java:919) at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.builtin.SystemUtilities.sendRequest(SystemUtilities.java:840) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayException: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayException: Remote exception: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.message.MessageHandlerException: MessageHandlerManager is null in ScriptConfig!

What version is the remote gateway? Is it Edge? Does it have any projects, and are they enabled? ---

Message sender is 8.0.15, receiving gateway is 8.1.0 rc1,Yes it has several projects. The project I am sending to is set as an inheritable project if that matters? ---

So after thinking about that, I changed the handler to be a regular project and it worked. ---

That makes sense, albeit that’s a _terrible_ error message.
