Retrieving the ALDB (API question) #99
Description
I'm attempting to write my own little tool for doing some maintenance of the ALDB, starting with the PLM. It's not going super, and I'm looking for some help. Based on that help, I'll try to contribute to the documentation and make it easier to understand.
What I'm doing involves Qt so I create the asyncio loop using quamash. I don't think that affects my question, but I'm including this for completeness, as I'm a Java/Scala/C/C++ developer hacking my way through Python-land:
loop = QEventLoop(app)
print(loop)
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)```
My attempt to dump the ALDB starts with just printing to the console:
```class Controller:
def __init__(self, loop):
self.loop=loop
print("Controller initialized")
def connect(self):
self.loop.create_task(self._connect())
def load(self):
self.loop.create_task(self._load())
def dump(self):
self.loop.create_task(self._dump())
@asyncio.coroutine
def _connect(self):
self.conn = yield from insteonplm.Connection.create();
print("Connected")
@asyncio.coroutine
def _load(self):
print("Loading...")
self.plm = self.conn.protocol
self.plm.aldb.clear()
yield from asyncio.sleep(1, loop=self.loop)
self.plm.read_aldb()
yield from asyncio.sleep(5, loop=self.loop)
while self.plm.aldb.status == ALDBStatus.LOADING:
print(str(self.plm.aldb.status))
yield from asyncio.sleep(1, loop=self.loop)
print(str(self.plm.aldb.status))
print("Done.");
@asyncio.coroutine
def _dump(self):
for i in self.plm.aldb:
record=self.plm.aldb[i]
print(record)```
The problem is I get very few records - sometimes zero, sometimes two. There should be something on the order of 80 links. This is all with 0.13.1.
Am I doing something obviously wrong here?
