Indigo variables example

I'm just learning Python scripting in Indigo. The code below was run in the scripting shell and is essentially the first example given in the Indigo scripting tutorial on variables. Why doesn't newVar.value show the updated values?


>>> newVar = indigo.variable.create("fooMonster", "5")
>>> newVar.value
u'5'
>>> indigo.variable.updateValue(newVar, "10")
>>> newVar.value
u'5'
>>> indigo.variable.updateValue(newVar, "20")
>>> newVar.value
u'5'

You need to do a refresh after the update to refresh the local copy as per the Variable Class documentation

Add this line after you do each update value:

Code: Select all

newVar.refreshFromServer()  # refresh needed to update local's .value

Hope this helps

Thanks Jon. That did it.
