Use client.Server before calling workspace APIs — especially on self-hosted servers where workspace support may be disabled. Read next: Handling server capabilities

​
Methods

​
IsWorkspaceEnabled
Task<bool> IsWorkspaceEnabled(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
Returns whether the connected server has the workspaces module enabled. Use this to guard calls to client.Workspace and workspace-scoped methods on client.ActiveUser.

​
Usage

if (await client.Server.IsWorkspaceEnabled())
{
    var workspaces = await client.ActiveUser.GetWorkspaces();
    // ...
}
else
{
    // Personal (non-workspace) server, e.g. a self-hosted instance
    var projects = await client.ActiveUser.GetProjects();
}

​
FAQ

The connected server does not have workspaces enabled (arrives wrapped in an AggregateException). Call IsWorkspaceEnabled() and use client.ActiveUser.GetProjects() for personal-project servers.
