Once again - how to call an action from within another?

[easy]

Hi all,

After I updated to a new release (1194), my plugin stopped working. I'we managed to get to the point, that I can't call another action anymore in the way BitMonster has told me lot of time ago.
Isn't working anymore:

Code: Select all

class MenuExecute(eg.ActionClass):
    name = "Execute"
    description = "Triggers an event associated with current menu item."
    iconFile = 'icons/enter'
    def __call__(self):
		self.plugin.info.actions["Close"]()

Is still working (but shouldn't be used i think):

Code: Select all

class MenuExecute(eg.ActionClass):
    name = "Execute"
    description = "Triggers an event associated with current menu item."
    iconFile = 'icons/enter'
    def __call__(self):
		eg.plugins.OSMenu.Close()

So, what could be the correct calling of action?

Ok, currently it would be:

Code: Select all

self.plugin.info.actions["ActionClsName"]()(*actionArgs)

But you should avoid it at all. The implementation details for actions might change again in the future. So better put your commonly accessed code into the plugin and let the actions call it.

Code: Select all

class MyPlugin(eg.PluginBase):
    def MyClose(self):
       ...whatever....

class Close(eg.ActionBase):
    def __call__(self):
        self.plugin.MyClose()

class MenuExecute(eg.ActionBase):
    def __call__(self):
        self.plugin.MyClose()
        ...whatever...
