This is a persistent source of confusion. I am pretty sure that the main cause of this error (these days at least) is when users try to do
func.remote()
or similar in a "bare" Python script, or when they have multiple apps and are running a different one. I am fairly certain that we now catch "not in global scope" at function wrapping time, and storage objects can now be lazily hydrated.I also don't think that mentioning "lazily hydrated" is helpful since that's an implementation detail and not something a user can understand or act on.
It might be helpful to add some Function-specific logic to include the function name in the error message, but I wasn't sure what the best way to approach that was, so I went for a smaller improvement.
