I’m following along with the DAML Script docs but getting an error on `import Daml.Script`

```nohighlight
Could not find module ‘Daml.Script’
It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.

```

My `daml.yaml` looks like this:

```nohighlight
sdk-version: 0.13.55
name: szabo_car_contract
version: 1.0.0
source: daml/Main.daml
scenario: Main:mainScenario
parties:
- Alice
- Bob
exposed-modules:
- Main
dependencies:
- daml-prim
- daml-stdlib
- daml-script

```

Restarting DAML Studio (ie. exit Visual Studio Code, run `daml studio` again) fixed the import issue.

The other possible cause is that DAML Studio (/VS Code) has to be opened on the directory containing the `daml.yaml` file. For example, you have a `foo/bar/daml.yaml` project root, and open VS Code in `foo`, it will fail to resolve the DAML Script library. This is a known issue: [#5455](https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/issues/5455)

As @bernhard states, you need to open the Project directory containing the daml.yaml else VS Code outputs an error. Following his advice, error gone 👍🏻

Could you clarify what exactly the issue is? Maybe provide reproducing steps?

```bash
daml new t
cd t
daml studio

```

yields a working `import Daml.Script` for me.

Ensure that when creating the new DAML project that you cd into it before “Daml studio”
