How to use functions from the main script?

Asked by Vit on 2017-11-02

Hello! Sorry for my english.

I have 2 files in the same folder: main.sikuli and second.sikuli

# --- main.sikuli:
def test():
return(123)

import second
reload(second)
from second import *
startSecondScript()

# --- second.sikuli:
from sikuli import *
def startSecondScript():
    import main
    from main import *
    y = test()

Result:
[error] script [ main ] stopped with error in line 7
[error] NameError ( global name 'test' is not defined )

How my second script can use functions from main script?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming that you want to call a function present in main.sikuli from second.sikuli , your could should be similar to this

second.sikuli ::
import main
def startSecondScript():
y = main.test()
print(y)
startSecondScript()

main.sikuli ::
from sikuli import *
def test():
return(123)

Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately, this does not work (the same error).

I think this way it makes more sense:

Assuming that you want to call a function present in sub.sikuli from main.sikuli , your solution could be similar to this

sub.sikuli ::
from sikuli import * # needed in imported scripts
def doSomething():
return(123) # what should be done in main.test

main.sikuli ::
import sub
def test():
sub.doSomething()
test() # should print 123

take care that main.sikuli and sub.sikuli are in the same folder
