I'm running into trouble trying to call a Python function from my C++ code.
I'm trying to call the Django function call_command, with the following parameters:
call_command('test', stdout=content)
See here why. This runs the command without the stdout=content argument:
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(executeFunc, PyString_FromString("test"), NULL)
I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to create this keyword.
PyDict_New();
PyDict_SetItemString(...);
Nets me a 'stdout'='content' string, instead of stdout=content.
Py_BuildValue("{s=s}", ... , ...)
Does the same thing.
I can get the content PyObject no problem if necessary, I just can't seem to correctly create the stdout keyword argument without Python putting quotes (handling it as a string) at some point.
How can I call call_command('test', stdout=content) from the C API?
PyObject *args = Py_BuildValue("(s)", "test");
PyObject *kwargs = PyBuildValue("{s:O}", "stdout", content);
PyObject_Call(executeFunc, args, kwargs);
Note that even in Python, you can call the function the same way:
args = ("test",)
kwargs = {"stdout" : content}
call_command(*args,**kwargs)
"stdout" is a string with quotes here too, but it works. You are trying to get the same syntax as you use in Python, with noquotename=noquotevalue, but the syntax is just a representation. Both {"quotedname" : noquotevalue} and noquotename=noquotevalue are two different ways to represent the same thing. They both actually represent a dictionary whose key is a string and value is an object. That is what you pass as the third argument to PyObject_Call.
Py_BuildValue("{s:O}", "stdout", content_obj)

I am using Java code and converting the code in ColdFusion. There are some challenges where I am stuck. This is one function I have in Java:
import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath;
import net.minidev.json.JSONArray;
import net.minidev.json.JSONStyle;
private static String getDetails(String instaDetailsElement) {
String jsonResponse = instaDetailsElement.split(" = ")[1];
JSONArray mediaArray = JsonPath.read(jsonResponse, "$.entry_data.PostPage[:1].graphql.shortcode_media");
String returnJsonString = mediaArray.toJSONString(new JSONStyle(JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL));
System.out.println(returnJsonString);
return returnJsonString;
}
These two lines are giving me some trouble:
var mediaArray = JsonPath.read(jsonResponse, "$.entry_data.PostPage[:1].graphql.shortcode_media");
var returnJsonString = mediaArray.toJSONString(new JSONStyle(JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL));
Here is what I attempted so far. I loaded the jar library for JSON path and tried using it like this:
Application.cfc settings
<cfset this.javaSettings = {LoadPaths = ["cfc/jar"], loadColdFusionClassPath = true, reloadOnChange = false}>
CF Code:
public any function getDetails(String instaDetailsElement) {
var jsonResponse = instaDetailsElement.split(" = ")[1];
var JsonPath = Createobject("java","com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath");
writedump(application);
var mediaArray = JsonPath.read(jsonResponse, "$.entry_data.PostPage[:1].graphql.shortcode_media");
writedump(mediaArray); abort;
var returnJsonString = mediaArray.toJSONString(new JSONStyle(JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL));
return returnJsonString;
}
I'm able to view the class methods when I dump the JsonPath object (screen shot), but when I try to call JsonPath.read() I get this error:
No matching Method for read(string, string) found for
com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath
TL;DR;
No matching method for read(string, string) found for com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath
Technically the error message is correct: there is no read() method that accepts two strings (even though that's how it's used in the java code). The method actually expects three arguments:
Pass in an empty array for the 3rd argument:
JsonPath.read(jsonResponse, "$.entry_data.PostPage[:1].graphql.shortcode_media", []);
Explanation:
String jsonResponse = instaDetailsElement.split(" = ")[1];
JsonPath.read(jsonResponse, "$.entry_data.PostPage[:1].graphql.shortcode_media")
If there really is no read(String, String) method, you might wonder why the java code works at all, since that's exactly what it uses. It works due to a special feature of java.
The documentation shows the overloaded read(..) method actually has three parameters, but one of them is special:
read(String json,
String jsonPath,
Predicate... filters)
Notice the ... after the class name (Predicate)? It's a construct called "varargs" (or variable number of arguments):
You can use a construct called varargs to pass an arbitrary number of values to a method. You use varargs when you don't know how many of a
particular type of argument will be passed to the method. It's a
shortcut to creating an array manually ...
To use varargs, you follow the type of the last parameter by an ellipsis (three dots, ...), then a space, and the parameter name. The
method can then be called with any number of that parameter,
including none.
So in java you're allowed to omit the third argument entirely and call read(String, String) with two strings. ColdFusion doesn't support that syntax, because it creates too much ambiguity. So in lieu of omitting the argument, you can pass in an empty array instead:
JsonPath.read(jsonResponse, "$.entry_data.PostPage[:1].graphql.shortcode_media", []);
(Since this has turned into two questions in one thread, I'm separating the second answer out for clarity ...)
var returnJsonString = mediaArray.toJSONString(new JSONStyle(JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL));
As for translating the JSONStyle code, it helps to unpack nested code from the inside out. Then tackle each piece separately:
mediaArray.toJSONString(new JSONStyle( JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL ));
mediaArray.toJSONString( new JSONStyle( JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL ) )
mediaArray.toJSONString( new JSONStyle( JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL ) )
Piece #1
Uses a static field of the JSONStyle class named FLAG_IGNORE_NULL. To access the field, create a reference to that class:
JsonStyle = createObject("java", "net.minidev.json.JSONStyle");
writeDump(JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL);
Piece #2
Creates a brand new instance of the JSONStyle class, using the static field from above. Use createObject() to create the new instance, passing the static field into the psuedo constructor init():
newJsonStyle = createObject("java", "net.minidev.json.JSONStyle").init(JSONStyle.FLAG_IGNORE_NULL);
writeDump( newJsonStyle );
Piece #3
All that's left is calling the JSONArray.toJSONString() method with the JSONStyle object you just created:
result = mediaArray.toJSONString( newJsonStyle );
writeDump(result);
Custom Keyword written in python 2.7:
#keyword("Update ${filename} with ${properties}")
def set_multiple_test_properties(self, filename, properties):
for each in values.split(","):
each = each.replace(" ", "")
key, value = each.split("=")
self.set_test_properties(filename, key, value)
When we send paremeters in a single line as shown below, its working as expected:
"Update sample.txt with "test.update=11,timeout=20,delay.seconds=10,maxUntouchedTime=10"
But when we modify the above line with a new lines (for better readability) it's not working.
Update sample.txt with "test.update = 11,
timeout=20,
delay.seconds=10,
maxUntouchedTime=10"
Any clue on this please?
I am not very sure whether it will work or not, but please try like this
Update sample.txt with "test.update = 11,
... timeout=20,
... delay.seconds=10,
... maxUntouchedTime=10"
Your approach is not working, cause the 2nd line is considered a call to a keyword (called "timeout=20,"), the 3rd another one, and so on. The 3 dots don't work cause they are "cell separators" - delimiter b/n arguments.
If you are going for readability, you can use the Catenate kw (it's in the Strings library):
${props}= Catenate SEPARATOR=${SPACE}
... test.update = 11,
... timeout=20,
... delay.seconds=10,
... maxUntouchedTime=10
, and then call your keyword with that variable:
Update sample.txt with "${props}"
btw, a) I think your keyword declaration in the decorator is without the double quotes - i.e. called like that ^ they'll be treated as part of the argument's value, b) there seems to be an error in the py method - the argument's name is "properties" while the itterator uses "values", and c) you might want to consider using named varargs (**kwargs in python, ${kwargs} in RF syntax) for this purpose (sorry, offtopic, but couldn't resist :)
I am using CFML and Twitter4j to return timelines and lists.
I want to return the data from a call to lookupUsers(java.lang.String[] screenNames)
via Twitter4j.
I have tried the :-
strList = createObject("java", "java.util.ArrayList");
strList.add(strOriginUser);
originUser = t4j.lookupUsers(strList);
And :-
strUserString = JavaCast("String", strOriginUser);
originUser = t4j.lookupUsers(strUserString);
I know the t4j Object is working as I already use it to get timelines etc but here it is for completeness :-
public function init_twitter() {
//CONFIGURE twitter4j
configBuilder = createObject("java", "twitter4j.conf.ConfigurationBuilder");
configBuilder.setOAuthConsumerKey(#application.twitter_consumer_key#);
configBuilder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(#application.twitter_consumer_secret#);
configBuilder.setOAuthAccessToken(#application.twitter_access_token#);
configBuilder.setOAuthAccessTokenSecret(#application.twitter_access_token_secret#);
configBuilder.setIncludeEntitiesEnabled(true);
configBuilder.setJSONStoreEnabled(true);
config = configBuilder.build();
twitterFactory = createObject("java", "twitter4j.TwitterFactory").init(config);
variables.t4j = twitterFactory.getInstance();
return this;
}
The twitter4j documentations is:-
ResponseList<User> lookupUsers(java.lang.String[] screenNames) throws TwitterException
Return up to 100 users worth of extended information, specified by either ID, screen name, or combination of the two. The author's most recent status (if the authenticating user has permission) will be returned inline.
This method calls http://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/lookup.json
Parameters:
screenNames - Specifies the screen names of the users to return.
Returns:
users
It looks like you are trying to pass an ArrayList object into lookupUsers but that method only accepts String[] (an array of Strings) as an argument. So unless CFML does the conversion, I don't think it's going to work.
From a cursory glance at the ColdFusion docs, it looks like CFML can implicitly convert a CFML Array to a Java array, so perhaps the following would work:
screenNames = arrayNew(1);
screenNames[1] = 'Fry';
originUser = t4j.lookupUsers(screenNames);
Alternatively, if you want to keep on using a list there is an ArrayList#toArray(T[]) which could be useful, although I can't say how useful that would be in the CFML.
N.B. Please excuse my CFML code snippet.
I am trying to work out the correct <cfscript> syntax for calling a dynamic method within ColdFusion 9. I have tried a number of variations and had a good search around.
<cfinvoke> is clearly the tag I want, sadly however I cannot use this within my pure cfscript component as it was implemented in ColdFusion 10.
i.e coldfusion 9 dynamically call method
I have tried the following within my CFC:
/** Validate the method name **/
var resources = getResources();
if (structKeyExists(variables.resources, name)) {
variables.resourceActive[name] = true;
var reflectionMethod = resources[name];
var result = "#reflectionMethod.getMethodName()#"(argumentCollection = params);
}
Where the return value of reflectionMethod.getMethodName() is the method name I want to call. It is 100% returning the correct value (the name of the method) where that method is correctly defined and accessible,
My error is a syntax error on that line.
You don't want to get the method name, you want to get the actual method, eg something like:
function getMethod(string method){
return variables[method];
}
The call that, thus:
theMethod = getMethod(variableHoldingMethodName);
result = theMethod();
Unfortunately one cannot simply do this:
result = getMethod(variableFoldingMethodName)();
Or:
result = myObject[variableFoldingMethodName]();
As the CF parser doesn't like the double-up of the parentheses or brackets.
The caveat with the method I suggested is that it pulls the method out of the CFC, so it will be running in the context of the calling code, not the CFC instance. Depending on the code in the method, this might or might not matter.
Another alternative is to inject a statically-named method INTO the object, eg:
dynamicName = "foo"; // for example
myObject.staticName = myObject[dynamicName];
result = myObject.staticName(); // is actually calling foo();
Assuming the method is in your current (variables) scope, you could try:
var result = variables[reflectionMethod.getMethodName()](argumentCollection = params);
In my application, I have a dictionary of phrases that are used throughout of the application. This same dictionary is used to create PDFs and Excel Spreadsheets.
The dictionary looks like so:
GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB = {
'fiscal_year': _('Fiscal Year'),
'region': _('Region / Focal Area'),
'prepared_by': _('Preparer Name'),
'review_cycle':_('Review Period'),
... snip ...
}
In the code to produce the PDF, I have:
fy = dashboard_v.fiscal_year
fy_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['fiscal_year']
rg = dashboard_v.dashboard.region
rg_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['region']
rc = dashboard_v.review_cycle
rc_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['review_cycle']
pb = dashboard_v.prepared_by
pb_label = GLOBAL_MRD_VOCAB['prepared_by']
Now, when the PDF is produced, in the PDF, I don't see these labels but rather, I see:
<django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x10106fdd0>
Can somebody help me with this? How do I get the properly translated labels?
Thanks

"Lazy translation"
The result of a ugettext_lazy() call can be used wherever you would use a unicode string (an object with type unicode) in Python. If you try to use it where a bytestring (a str object) is expected, things will not work as expected, since a ugettext_lazy() object doesn't know how to convert itself to a bytestring. You can't use a unicode string inside a bytestring, either, so this is consistent with normal Python behavior.
...
If you ever see output that looks like "hello <django.utils.functional...>", you have tried to insert the result of ugettext_lazy() into a bytestring. That's a bug in your code.
Either pass it to unicode() to get the unicode from it, or don't use lazy translation.
