I'm trying to use TurboGears' scheduler to automate sending bills by
email. I have this code as a controller method:
def send1MonthBills(self):
'''Email bills for projects marked billable where frequency is 1
Month'''
projects = model.Project.select(model.Project.q.billable==True)
for p in projects:
if p.billFrequency.frequency=='1 Month':
self.emailBill(p.id)
print "emailed bill for %s" % p.name
scheduler.add_monthday_task(action=send1MonthBills,
taskname='send1MonthBills', monthdays=[1], timeonday=(9,0))
## scheduler.add_interval_task(action=send1MonthBills,
taskname='send1MonthBillsTest', initialdelay=10, interval=60)
Since it's a controller method, send1MonthBills() requires 1 argument:
self, and it references the controller class (Root()) when it calls
self.emailBill(), which is @exposed in order to use a template to make
the email pretty.
The problem is, scheduler.add_monthday_task(action=send1MonthBills...
doesn't let me enter "self" as an argument to send1MonthBills, so I get
this error:
ERROR DURING TASK EXECUTION send1MonthBills() takes exactly 1 argument
(0 given)
...
TypeError: send1MonthBills() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
So, is there a way to either:
- give send1MonthBills() the "self" argument? I don't think there is.
- or to call self.emailBill() from outside the controller class, but
within controllers.py? I think this is what I need to do, but can't
find documentation on it. I tried importing cherrypy then calling
cherrypy.root.emailBill() and it didn't work.
