unit.get_loc() is throwing an error

[lebhero]

Hi Everyone,

i am using the project.xml provided in the examples and trying to print the unit.get_loc():
from the https://github.com/srcML/pylibsrcml/tree/main/examples/srcml_read_archive_full:

...
while unit != None :
    # Can inquire about the current unit
    language = unit.get_language()
    filename = unit.get_filename()
    print(language, filename, unit.get_loc())
...

and receiving the following error:

...
in check_return
    raise srcMLException("Recieved invalid return status: " + str(value))
pylibsrcml.exception.srcMLException: Recieved invalid return status: 6
...

There is no method like set_loc(), as for filename or language..

Any help here is really appreciated.

Thanks

What version of srcML are you using?

[lebhero]

srcml 1.0.0
libsrcml 1.0.0
libarchive 3.6.0

Hello @lebhero

The issue is caused by an unnecessary exception check on the get_loc(). get_loc() is returning 6, the correct value, but due to the extraneous error check it is flagging as a srcML Exception.

We are currently working on fixing issues like this, as well as add some missing features. A temporary solution would be to go to the srcml_unit.py file and remove the call to check_return in the get_loc function, around line 364.

Let me know if this temporary fix works!
