Crash when using setBoolProperty with the python client

[gregor_ws]

Hi,

I'm using the python client and wanted to set the realtimeSimulation property of the app without having to use the button in the editor. I can successfully run the various.py script from the client's tests. I added the following line to the script:

Code: Select all

sim.setBoolProperty(sim.handle_app, sim.boolparam_realtime_simulation, True)

The issue is that it crashes and returns the following error message:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'encode'

I tracked down the issue and it seems that the type hints being returned by the getTypeHints are not the correct ones, namely the type deduced is string, but it should be bool or int, as the value is actually an int. Is there a way to fix this issue with the client code?. Also, could you share the link where all the properties are defined? I'm using this link https://manual.coppeliarobotics.com/en/ ... erence.htm , but would like to know the name of the properties constants defined for the sim object.

Thanks in advance

Oh I think I was using the setBoolProperty method in the wrong way. I'm using this now:

Code: Select all

sim.setBoolProperty(sim.handle_scene, 'realtimeSimulation', True)

This does work as expected. Sorry for the inconvenience.
