Do you have a link? I am not aware that there is a central place to share scripts

Why don't you submit these under tools, scripts, that way they are easy to find for any interested user, I hope you understand and many thanks for sharing them with us.

Ps have you got a solution for generating a project archive in headless Codesys mode too? In the version I am using it does not work.

Some snippets that are interesting :)

Script that lists all the library dependencies:

proj = projects.open(projectPath)
objects = proj.get_children(recursive=True)
    for candidate in objects:
        if candidate.is_libman:
            for libref in iter(candidate):
                if libref.is_placeholder:
                    if libref.effective_resolution is not None:
                        libInfo = str(libref.effective_resolution)
                        libMissing = False
                    elif libref.default_resolution is not None:
                        libInfo = str(libref.default_resolution)
                        libMissing = True
                elif libref.is_managed:   
                    libInfo = str(libref.managed_library)
                else:               
                    libInfo = str(libref.name)

Script that downloads the libraries:

libraryServers  = ["https://store.codesys.com/CODESYSLibs/"]
            for server in libraryServers:
                libraryFileName = None
                url = str("%s%s/%s/%s/" % (server, data['supplier'], data['name'], data['version']))
                response = requests.get(url + "index")
            fileUrl = str("%s%s" % (url, libraryFileName)).rstrip()
            response = requests.get(fileUrl)
            f.write(response.content)

Script that installs the downloaded libraries:

repo = librarymanager.repositories[0]
librarymanager.install_library(absLibPath, repo, overwrite=True)

Hi, would you be so kind to share the scripts with us?
That would be very nice if you did! ;-)

I solved the issue by creating 3 scripts:
1. script that lists all library dependencies
2. script in Python 3 that downloads the missing libraries
3. script that install the missing libraries

Good advice as workaround but I am searching for an answer to my question.

I recommend sabing your project as an archive before opening on the build PC, as this will save every device description and library required to build it so no downloading is needed.

I have been trying to automatically resolve missing libraries on our build PC.

First I searched the forum and found some old topics that are relevant to automate CoDeSys prompts:
- https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/cb4c263657/
- https://forge.codesys.com/forge/talk/Engineering/thread/bf6c8291a5/

The following is now implemented as Python script that runs in CoDeSys V3.5 SP16:
system.prompt_handling |= PromptHandling.LogMessageKeys
system.prompt_handling &= ~PromptHandling.ForwardSimplePrompts

system.prompt_answers["DownloadMissingLibrariesDialog_Prompt"]=PromptResult.OK
system.commands["libman","opendownloadmissinglibrariesdialog"].execute()

I expect now that I can automate the "Download" button in the prompted window. But it does not work and also the prompt message key is not logged.

I am now completely stuck. Can anyone please help.
