Issue with getting the opened project's name

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

I'm trying to get the current opened project's name. Here is my code, which should work according to the documentation, but it doesn't seem to work:
GSErrCode            err;
    API_ProjectInfo info;
    
    err = ACAPI_Environment (APIEnv_ProjectID, &info, nullptr);
    if (err != NoError){
        ErrorBeep ("APIEnv_ProjectID", err);
    }
    else{
        WriteReport("project path is %s", info.projectPath); // returns null always
        WriteReport("project name is %s", info.projectName); // returns null always
    }
Is there any other specific thing that should be done in order to make this work? Is the project name something different than the filename of the pln?

P.S. I am opening an already saved project.

Any help will be appreciated,
Julian

I have tried printing the untitled property:
WriteReport("project untitled is %s",(info.untitled)?"true":"false"); // returns false always 
Why it says that the file is not saved? I'm opening an already saved project.
