Getting an error when trying to call a named query from a client timer script. The script works when called from e.g. the script console, a button or another thing called from the UI Thread, just not from the timer script.

Here’s the error

```auto
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<module:project.core.smartcardio>", line 125, in authenticate

com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayException: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayException: Named query smartcardio/AuthenticateCard not found

	caused by GatewayException: Named query smartcardio/AuthenticateCard not found
	caused by GatewayFunctionException: Named query smartcardio/AuthenticateCard not found

Ignition v7.9.9 (b2018081621)
Java: Oracle Corporation 1.8.0_171

```

I tried adding the project name, which doesn’t work, as the error suggests its a gateway exception. That just generates another mapping error, similar to this

Any suggestions on what’s wrong?

EDIT

Also tried to call it on the UI thread from the timer script, still the same.
