Sometimes when I open a project. The scripting library in that project stops working at runtime. I have gotten into the habit of just saving the project when I open it.

In this case, I can’t get it to work again. This was just working yesterday. And I am pretty sure it broke when I opened the project this morning. Now it won’t recognize the scripting library at all…

I can’t figure out why it works in the designer and not the app

I’ve had the same issue a few times (where my scripting library isn’t recognized anymore).

In all cases simply restarting the gateway has made the issue go away
