Which scope is my code running in?

Ignition
1

How can I test whether the executing code is running in client, gw, or designer?

Hmm. Something like this (untested):

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.model import ApplicationScope

scope = ApplicationScope.getGlobalScope()


if (ApplicationScope.isClient(scope)):
	...

if (ApplicationScope.isDesigner(scope)):
	...

if (ApplicationScope.isGateway(scope)):
	...

This would also work, but I like Kevin’s solution.

def getLocation():
	try:
		if system.util.getSystemFlags() & system.util.CLIENT_FLAG:
			location = 1
		elif system.util.getSystemFlags() & system.util.DESIGNER_FLAG:
			location = 2
	except:
		location = 0
	return location

The problem with getSystemFlags() is that it only exists in C/D scope. It would error out in G scope.

edit: Durh, your code accounts for that.
