SOLVED Can I open the Output Window from a script? What about from a remote script? (I'm so close!)



  • Can I open the Output Window from a script? It seems to work when I do this:

    from mojo.UI import OutputWindow
    
    open(OutputWindow().show())
    

    However, the script window also returns the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<untitled>", line 3, in <module>
    TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType
    

    This is particularly a problem when I try to open the Output Window from a remote script. I'm trying to use one line to run a Python script in RF, plus open the Output Window. However, when I do so, the above error ends up right in the Output.

    robofont -p example-script.py -c "from mojo.UI import OutputWindow" -c "open(OutputWindow().show())"
    

    Am I opening the window in an incorrect way? How might I do so in a better way?



  • @ThunderNixon said in Can I open the Output Window from a script? What about from a remote script? (I'm so close!):

    from mojo.UI import OutputWindow

    I'm nearly positive that I tried that, and it didn't work, so I threw in the open() to see whether it made a difference.

    The good news is, it's working now, so either I hit a temporary bug, or I formulated a false memory in my head. If OutputWindow().show() fails in the future, I'll loop back on this.

    Thank you!

    why do you use open(...)? this is the python way to open file as objects to read and write.

    just use OutputWindow().show()
