[omniORB] exception in generated code

[Morris, Steve (SW/FW - Rehovot)]

You are correct.
Although I had cut my project down to the two IDLs that I listed, that was enough to cause the problem.
iPC_Connect.idl includes iPC_PropertyManager.idl, but I compiled both, with the result that iPC_PropertyManager.idl was included twice in the py files.
When I only compile iPC_Connect.idl the problem disappears.

Thanks very much,
Steve

Could that interface declaration be included more than once, or is the
interface declared in more than one file?  The generated code that's
failing looks like this

class _objref_iPC_Connect (_0_iPC_API._objref_PropertyManager):
    _NP_RepositoryId = iPC_Connect._NP_RepositoryId

    def __init__(self):
        _0_iPC_API._objref_PropertyManager.__init__(self)

So, on the face of it, the class is definitely correctly derived from
the base class whose __init__ method it's trying to call. The only way
it could fail would be if at some point after that class declaration,
_0_iPC_API._objref_PropertyManager was set to be a different class to
the one that was present at the time the _objref_iPC_Connect class was
declared.

First of all, remove all the generated code and regenerate it, in case
you have something left over from a previous version of the IDL. If that
doesn't help, grep all the _idl.py files looking for duplicate
definitions of the _objref_PropertyManager class.

Cheers,

Duncan.
