What's the difference between running from GUI and python script?

Asked by behzad

Hey guys,

Recently, I encountered a problem in running simulations.

The thing is when we have functions in the script and we run the simulation from the user interface, it gives an error of like :

NameError: name 'loader' is not defined

Loader was a function in my model.

But, if I put the running step at the end of my python script as O.run(n,True), it runs the code with no error!

How this is happening? What's the difference between the two. Sometimes, we do not want to run the code as soon as it's created and we would like to check the parameters and see the model to ensure everything's fine and then run it.

Thanks,
Behzad

Hi Jérôme,

Yeah, it seems it's the same issue. However, since variables defined in the script are supposed to be global, I'm expecting defining the things in the script and running from terminal to work, always. But it doesn't!

Thanks.

Providing your script (shortened as much as possible) might be useful, then...

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask behzad for more information if necessary.
