Ignition 8.3 Module Sub Namespace & Autocomplete

Module Development
1

I have created a module and installed it in Ignition 8.3. Everything is working fine except everything in my parent namespace appears in autocomplete in designer but everything in a sub namespace does not. The code works and executes fine in both cases. For example:

Script module path = "system.abc”

  • system.abc.divide() appears in autocomplete and executes without errors
  • system.abc.def appears in autocomplete
  • system.abc.def.divide() does not appear in autocomplete but does execute without errors

Should autocomplete be able to detect and show system.abc.def.divide()? Is there a working example or doc I can follow or perhaps I’m missing something really simple?

Thanks!

Not sure, but I've never seen any autocomplete at the 4th level.

Late, but this definitely works; see system.perspective.workstation functions:

These are mounted by Perspective in pretty much the way you'd expect, so I'm not sure what might be going wrong in your case.

  @Override
  public void initializeScriptManager(ScriptManager manager) {
    PropertiesFileDocProvider docProvider = new PropertiesFileDocProvider();
    manager.addScriptModule("system.perspective", scriptFunctions, docProvider);
    manager.addScriptModule("system.perspective.workstation", workstationScriptingFunctions, docProvider);
  }

Both Embr-Thermo and Embr-SNMP have 4th level autocomplete with no issues.
