Hello,

I'm trying to pass my userInput value userInput = self.UserInputLineEdit.text() from my BX_GUI.py to my BX_Test.py so I can use that value to populate an appropriate response.

This is what I have in my BX_GUI.py:
    #Submit Function
    def SubmitClicked(self):
        #Take UserInput & append it to ConvoTextBrowser & Make User Input Text Color: Amber
        userInput = self.UserInputLineEdit.text()
        self.ConvoTextBrowser.append("\n")
        ConvoHistory = self.ConvoTextBrowser.append(f"<p style='color:rgb(255, 170, 0)'>{userInput}</p>")
        return userInput
And I want to take the userInput and carry it over to the BX_Test.py, so I can use that value in that script.

BX_Test.py Snippet: 
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#                          User Input Function - Take Commands
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def UserInput():
    from BX_GUI import Ui_MainDisplay
    command = userInput
    return command 
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I carry the userInput value from my GUI to the other Python Script & what do I have to import in order to do so?

Thanks in advance.

You could rewrite your BX_GUI.main() function to return the value. Here's a simple example

window.py
from PySide6 import QtWidgets

class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        self.edit = QtWidgets.QLineEdit(self)
        layout.addChildWidget(self.edit)

def draw():
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication()
    window = Window()
    window.show()
    app.exec()
    return window.edit.text()
Test.py
import window

print(window.draw())
This treats the window like a dialog for the test program. The test program launches the window and waits until the window closes.

Ok so I re-wrote the BX_GUI.main():
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#                                       Run this Program
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = Ui_MainDisplay()
    win.show()
    app.exec()
    return win.UserInputLineEdit.text()
#     sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And Imported it into BX_Test.py so I can use the returned value as a command so it can be processed, But it only processes the command when
I close/exit the GUI not when I click the submit button.

Is there a way to fix this so it returns the value once I click the submit button, not when the program closes?

Not really. The GUI blocks until it is closed. If you launch the GUI from your "test", the test has to wait until the GUI closes.

You could reverse the dependency. The GUI can call your test. It sounds like that is the proper way to organize the code anyway.

Thanks. So I revered the dependencies and got it to carry over the UserInput Value when the submit button is clicked and have BX_Test.py print the value to confirm it received it, but now my BX_Test.py doesn't do anything with the value.


BX_GUI.py
    #Submit Function
    def SubmitClicked(self):
        #Take UserInput & append it to ConvoTextBrowser & Make User Input Text Color: Amber
        userInput = self.UserInputLineEdit.text()
        import BX_Test
        BX_Test.UserInput(userInput)
        self.ConvoTextBrowser.append("\n")
        ConvoHistory = self.ConvoTextBrowser.append(f"<p style='color:rgb(255, 170, 0)'>{userInput}</p>")
BX_Test.py:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#                                User Input Function
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def UserInput(userInputCommand):
    #command = BX_GUI.main()
    print("User Command: " + userInputCommand)
    command = userInputCommand
    #command = str(Prompt.ask("[yellow]Commander[/yellow]"))
    return command

def BAXTER():
    command = UserInput() 
    command=str(command).lower()

            sys.stdout.flush()
            time.sleep(0.1)
        print("\n")
        #----------------------

                    command = command.replace("what is","")
                    results = wikipedia.summary(command, sentences = 2)

                        time.sleep(0.05)
                    print("\n")

                    speak(results)

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main():
    speak("How may I be of service?") 
    
    while True:
        BAXTER()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So If I type in "What is a tower" in the GUI and hit submit, BX_Test.py will print ""What is a tower" but it won't process the command (jump to the Wikipedia if statement and search Wikipedia for the answer). Instead, it does nothing.

How can I fix this?

Thanks again.

Other than "Well, duh?" I'm not sure how to answer this one.

This is what happens when you press the button in the GUI.
def UserInput(userInputCommand):
    #command = BX_GUI.main()  # Nothing
    print("User Command: " + userInputCommand)  # print
    command = userInputCommand  # Asssignment, but doesn't really do anything
    #command = str(Prompt.ask("[yellow]Commander[/yellow]"))  # Commented out, so nothing
    return command  # Returns something to GUI which is not used
Where are you doing anything other than printing the command? What do you want to happen?

I foresee difficulties in your future. In the GUI program you call exec() which is an event manager that runs in a loop until the main window is closed. In your BX_test.main you have:
    while True:
        BAXTER()
]
which wants to loop forever. You have two things that want to run all the time and they cannot do that in one process without using threads. If you run them as two separate processes, you'll have to implement some kind of inter-process communication. This is going to be a steep learning curve.

To get it to work I just took the code from BX_Test.py and combined it into BX_GUI.py so it's all together.
It now works as intended.
