Can anyone tell me why this script doesn't work for me?
indirect = self.view.params.MachineNumber
path = '[default]CL1/{}/To Auto Mode'.format(indirect)
system.tag.writeBlocking(path, 'true')
I don't see anything in the log when I press the button to run it. I can run the script just fine in the console if I change the path for indirect to a valid path inside of "".
You're writing a string "true" to the tag. I presume you should be writing a boolean, in which case it would be,
system.tag.writeBlocking([path], [True])
Both arguements of writeBlocking expect lists, [ ], although it tolerates single elements.
There may be other problems that I haven't spotted.
Aside from the use of a String as opposed to a Boolean value as @Transistor details.
I presume that the MachineNumber is an integer. In which case it is possible that the resultant path would be different from the expected path.
For instance for machine number 1 the path you would get from this script is:
'[default]CL1/1/To Auto Mode'
Which if you were expecting a leading zero in the path, would not work.
All of that said? for something this simple why not use a bi-directional indirect tag binding?
All of the above, plus get rid of spaces in tag paths. And any other whitespace.
Actually anything that's not a letter, digit or underscore.
param is a string.
Was just trying to get it working with a button instead of a toggle switch. Toggle switch works great.
