system.net.openURL()

Ignition
1

I am running this as in the example:

system.net.openURL("https://www.google.com")

It seems to work on 8.0.12, and 8.1.7 in non-containerized Ignition. However, when I run it in 8.1.5 in containerized Maker , I get the below error. Any ideas? Thanks

com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.JythonExecException: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 6, in runAction AttributeError: 'com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.Imm' object has no attribute 'openURL'

openURL, despite being in the system.net namespace, is a Vision module only function.
In Perspective (and therefore in Maker) you’ll want to use system.perspective.navigate.

oops, ok, I see it:

  • Scope

    Vision Client

Someday I will get used to this Perspective vs Vision thing… Thanks!

We’re planning to introduce a new system.vision namespace to collect all these scattered functions into in 8.2 - old calls will keep working, but it’ll make discovery a lot easier.

@PGriffith I was trying to use openURL to redirect the user to a draft email with the address and subject already filled in. From the script terminal it worked but not in perspective or designer preview…then I found this post.

However, system.perspective.navigate won’t work for what I am trying. Is there any other option in the system library?

systemName = system.tag.read("[System]Gateway/SystemName").value

system.perspective.navigate("mailto:example@com?subject={} Ignition Feedback&body=".format(systemName))

Thanks,

Nick

I think with Perspective you’ll have to settle for the Link component and set that as the URL.
