SDK 8.0 : determine if a path is a tag path or a folder path?

Module Development

is there a way with the SDK 8.0 to determine if a path is a tag path or a folder path ?

tagPath = TagPathParser.parseSafe("default", fullTagPath);

returned tagPath has no information about tag or folder.

You have to read the NodeDescription tag prop and then get the TagObjectType from it.

If you squint enough you can pretend this is Java:

    private suspend fun readTagObjectType(tagPath: TagPath): TagObjectType {
        val descriptionPath = tagPath.getChildPath(RuntimeTagProps.NodeDescription)

        val qv = tagManager.readAsync(listOf(descriptionPath)).await()[0]
        val nodeDescription = qv.value as? NodeDescription

        return nodeDescription?.objectType
            ?: throw UaException(StatusCodes.Bad_NodeIdUnknown)
    }
