[Discuss-gnuradio] Error in using Accessor method in GNU Radio 3.7. AttributeError: Object has no attribute

[kunal sankhe]

Hello Members,

I am using GNU Radio 3.7.10.1 and have created a new OOT module using gr_modtool. 

I have created two blocks 1) Random Phase Perturbation 2) Apply BF weight, again using gr_modtool 

My goal is to update the parameter 'bf_weight' of Apply BF weight block using the function probe

with function poll_complex_gain() defined in the block Random Phase Perturbation.

Block: Random Phase Perturbation 

This block has accessor method "poll_complex_gain" defined in its randphpert4_f_impl.h file as below:

gr_complex poll_complex_gain() const { return d_complex_gain;}

While running GRC, I am getting below run-time error:

Exception in thread Thread-1:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner

    self.run()

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 754, in run

    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)

  File "/home/genesys/Documents/EnergyHarvesting-Project/top_block.py", line 80, in _bf_weight_probe

    val = self.EnergyBeamforming_randphpert4_f_0.poll_complex_gain()

AttributeError: 'randphpert4_f_sptr' object has no attribute 'poll_complex_gain'

While searching for similar problems, I found a solution in the thread https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2014-06/msg00152.html,

which mentioned 

to add the accessor in the include/*.h file as a virtual member function

I defined virtual function poll_complex_gain in randphpert4_f.h file as below

virtual gr_complex poll_complex_gain() const { return d_complex_gain; } 

But, I am still getting the same error as above.

Please let me know, where am I making mistake. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.
