Hope you're weathering the weather :-) ... I'm trying to track down a
problem where an installParcel() is getting called twice, with different
values for the 'parcel' parameter (which means it creates twice as many
repository items, parented in two different places!).
The parcel is parcels/osaf/framework/attributeEditors. the __init__.py in
this directory imports (among other things) installParcel() from the
AttributeEditors.py file (also in this directory). If I put a breakpoint
on the installParcel() method in AttributeEditors.py, and launch Chandler
with --create, I see that it gets called twice, with different 'parcel's:
The first time, the 'parcel' parameter prints as: <Parcel (new):
attributeEditors e9260d9a-459a-11da-c3e3-0050f2e8b09c> (note the lowercase
"a" in "attributeEditors"). The second time, it prints as: <Parcel (new):
AttributeEditors e9260d9a-459a-11da-c3e2-0050f2e8b09c> (note the uppercase
"A" in "AttributeEditors").
The problem here is that AttributeEditors is a parcel, too. So, you are
indeed getting it called twice. If you want the AttributeEditors module to
be part of the parent package's parcel, you need a __parcel__ at the top,
of 'osaf.framework.attributeEditors'. Otherwise, it is assumed to be an
independent parcel, so its installParcel() gets called.
Modules with a __parcel__ are part of that parcel, modules without a
__parcel__ *are* parcels. Thus, in this case,
AttributeEditors.installParcel() is called once to install the
AttributeEditors (sub)parcel, and once by the code in the parent parcel.
