[Solved] Unable to call a Python extension macro from Basic

[LibreOfficiant]

Hi,

As per OpenOffice specs, calling a Python extension macro from Basic is possible. I have been unable to do so and may surely be doing something wrong.

I am linking a Writer doc holding example code and instructions for anyone to x-check.

Thanks in advance for your assistance in that matter.

Hi,

When calling an embedded python script, you need to pass the document model as argument to the method createScriptProvider:

Code: Select all

    doc = thiscomponent
    uri = "vnd.sun.star.script:apso_utils.py$console?language=Python&location=document"
    mspf = createUnoService("com.sun.star.script.provider.MasterScriptProviderFactory")
    msp = mspf.createScriptProvider(doc)
    script = msp.getScript(uri)
    script.invoke(array(), array(), array())

This is needed as the program can't know in which document is stored the script.

When you want to call a script exposed from a package location, you need to pass the full path, which is not reflected in the organizer dialog :

Code: Select all

    doc = thiscomponent
    uri = "vnd.sun.star.script:apso.oxt|python|pythonpath|apso_utils.py$console?language=Python&location=user:uno_packages"
    mspf = createUnoService("com.sun.star.script.provider.MasterScriptProviderFactory")
    msp = mspf.createScriptProvider("")
    script = msp.getScript(uri)
    script.invoke(array(), array(), array())
