    • EnablePerformanceProfiling: Indicates whether performance profiling has been enabled.
    • Engine.GuiInteraction: Indicates whether the workflow is being run from the GUI.
    • Engine.IterationNumber: The number of times a macro has run.

    • WorkflowDirectory: The directory of the current workflow.
    • WorkflowRunGuid: The GUID of the current workflow run.

Usage

To access the constants, run this command:

def __init__(self, provider)
    desired_constant = self.provider.environment.*constant*

To access the constants stored in the _raw_constants, run this command:

def __init__(self, provider)
    desired_constant = self.provider.environment._raw_constants[*constant*]
