Yade

SnapshotEngine doesn't work

Asked by Aleksander G.

Hi,

I have installed recent version of Yade few days ago on a new computer (up to that time I used an older version on the other PC). I have a code that should create a snapshot (inside O.engines, among other functions): "qt.SnapshotEngine(filebase=str(path),iterPeriod=1,label='snap')"

When I try to run it i get:
"name 'SnapshotEngine' is not defined"

When I type in the terminal of the old version of Yade on the other computer "yade.qt.SnapshotEngine" i get "yade.wrapper.SnapshotEngine". In the recent version I receive "module 'yade' has no attribute 'SnapshotEngine'.

Did I miss one of the packages during the installation or the function is deprecated?

Greetings,
Aleksander

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the answear. Can you tell me is there anything I can do to regain SnapshotEngine in my new Yade? I'm not so good in coding. Is it possible to download this cpp and hpp files, put them into correct folder and compile Yade again?

Cheers,
Aleksander.

You have two options:
- fix it yourself (and possibly push your fix to the yade repository)
- let developers to do it (in this case, please open an issue on gitlab [3])
The fix should be easy, probably some include / import / update of CMake file.

Cheers
Jan
