OMERO and Git

[bhcho]

that text file contains some information that our other python code will open/load it.
the file ending is tentatively ".opt"

let me show you a snippet of our python code (this code should live in OMERO_HOME/lib/python).

Code: Select all

def loadAdminInfo():
    # extract the information from a configuration file or something
    # load the configuration file path
    env = os.environ
    try:
        OMERO_HOME = env['OMERO_HOME']
    except:
        return "nope", "nope"

    # load the administrator's account info
    filename = OMERO_HOME + '/lib/python/OMERO_PSLID_config.opt';
    f=open(filename, 'rb')
    lines = f.readlines()

So if we copy the file, 'OMERO_PSLID_config.opt', to resources/ directory in the git, does it automatically go to OMERO_HOME/lib/python/ (when you generate OMERO 4.2.1. version from the git clone)? and can we open the file by the above code?

A better option for a file like that is most likely under etc/, which is copied entirely to the builds etc/ directory.

Depending on what the file looks like, however, you could use the bin/omero config facilities by doing something like:

Code: Select all

from omero.config import ConfigXml
cfg = ConfigXml()
cfg["my.property"] = "foo"
print cfg["my.property"]
cfg.close() # Saves my.property


End users would then only have one place they'd need to configure things.

Hi Josh,

I got the following error for ConfigXml.

Code: Select all

In [4]: cfg = ConfigXml()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/bhcho/<ipython console> in <module>()

TypeError: __init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)


is this because I'm using 4.2.1?

Hi BK,

no it's because the ConfigXml constructor has a required argument: "filename", which should point to your etc/grid/config.xml file.

Hi,

Could you tell me the java version of configxml methods?

Code: Select all

from omero.config import ConfigXml
cfg = ConfigXml()
cfg["my.property"] = "foo"
print cfg["my.property"]
cfg.close() # Saves my.property

Thanks in advance,
BK

Hi BK,

there are none. omero.confg is Python-only at the moment.
