Error using Ice.loadSlice() with nested *.ice

hiasl

Hi,

it is impossible to use Ice.loadSlice() with python for loading nested slices without using slice2py before, e.g:

a.ice:
#ifndef A_ICE
#define A_ICE

module A {
...
}

b.ice:
#ifndef B_ICE
#define B_ICE

#include "a.ice"
module B {
...
}

test.py:
import Ice
# Ice.loadSlice('a.ice')
# import stuff from a
Ice.loadSlice('b.ice')
import stuff from b

Calling python results in an error message like
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 4, in ?
Ice.loadSlice('b.ice')
File "b.ice", line 3, in ?

ImportError: No module named a_ice

Am i right that loadSlice() doesn't compile slices recursively?

Bye

If you want loadSlice to recursively compile all the slice files included by the given slice file then you have to use the --all option. For example...

Ice.loadSlice("--all b.ice")
