Create and Call Uno Service in Python

[saleem145]

Hello,

I have an Addin and an Addon. Addin is in C++ and the Addon is python.

In the addon I am trying the following code,

service = CreateUnoService("my_module.MyService1")
service.Initialize(a,b,c,d)

(The initialize routine is defined in service, and can be called succressfully from basic)

It doesn't work. The second line tanks....I am not good at python so I do not know how to print errors....

try:
service.Initialize(a,b,c,d)
except Exception as inst:
f = open('/tmp/err.log', 'w')
f.write('saleem\n')
f.write(type(inst))

It does create the file and put my name in it, but the next line does not do anything.....

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

class Office:
    '''Frequently used methods in office context'''
    def __init__(self, ctx=uno.getComponentContext()):
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.smgr = self.ctx.ServiceManager
       
    def createUnoService(self, service):
        return self.smgr.createInstance(service)

    def getDesktop(self):
        return self.smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop",self.ctx)

    def getCurrentComponent(self):
        return self.getDesktop().getCurrentComponent()

    def getCurrentFrame(self):
        return self.getDesktop().getCurrentFrame()

    def getCurrentComponentWindow(self):
        return self.getCurrentFrame().getComponentWindow()

    def getCurrentContainerWindow(self):
        return self.getCurrentFrame().getContainerWindow()

    def getCurrentController(self):
        return self.getCurrentFrame().getController()

    def callMRI(self,obj=None):
        '''Create an instance of MRI inspector and inspect the given object (default is selection)'''
        if not obj:
            obj = self.getCurrentController().getSelection()
        mri = self.createUnoService("mytools.Mri")
        mri.inspect(obj)

It does create the file and put my name in it, but the next line does not do anything.....

The second line should save type (i.e. name of class) of your exception. Make sure that the file is closed properly after writing. Either

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

f = open(.....)
f.write(...)
f.write(...)
f.close()

or (even better)

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

with open(.....) as f:
    f.write(...)
    f.write(...)

Besides, you are trying to write to the file something that is not a string... (type is not a string). Try rather

Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view

f.write(repr(type(inst)))

[saleem145]

service = CreateUnoService("my_module.MyService1")
service.Initialize(a,b,c,d)

The exception throw is of type --

exceptions.AttributeError

Any idea what that means?? What else could I add to the logging to shed further light on whats going wrong??

Thanks,

Saleem

How did you define def CreateUnoService?
