I have added jar file in C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\core\client C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\core\common C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\core\gateway C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\core\Designer When I import the module it works fine in designer and script console. But getting error as no module found in vision client launcher. ---

The most likely answer is that there are other jars that it has as dependencies that happen to be loaded in the designer but not in a client. You'll have to share specifics for a better guess. ---

Restart your vision client, then open the diagnostics window (from the help menu), and examine the diagnostic console. There may be another error there saying why that jar wasn't loaded. Also, search your `~/.ignition/cache` folder for that jar file to make sure it actually propagated to your client environment. ---

> [@pturmel](#): > > The most likely answer is that there are other jars that it has as dependencies that happen to be loaded in the designer but not in a client Looking at this on Maven, it definitely does have dependencies, but they wouldn't be part of the Designer by default... I don't know why it would work anywhere. Maybe the import wouldn't fail, but something else would, eventually. ---

Interesting library, fwiw. Looks like a light-duty alternative to the reporting module. That the latest and greatest iText dependency uses the Affero GPL is a huge stumbling block, though. Makes me not want to touch it even with a 10-foot pole.
