Revision history [back]

Sorry for the trouble, I added a conversion to/from openstudio.Path to python's `pathlib.Path, and messed something up.

Basically this comes from (an honestly good) intention, which was to allow seemless conversion to/from pathlib.Path but it seems it does have the side effect that it rejects an openstudio.Path now.

You might have noticed that anything returning an openstudio::path now converts to a pathlib.Path

In [1]: osw = openstudio.WorkflowJSON()

In [2]: osw.absoluteRootDir()
Out[2]: PosixPath('......')

Similarly you can pass a pathlib.Path to something taking an openstudio::Path. Or a string.

In [1]: from pathlib import Path
        import openstudio
        m = openstudio.model.Model()

 In [5]: m.save('model.osm', True)
 Out[5]: True

 In [6]: m.save(Path('model.osm'), True)
 Out[6]: True

Bottom line, use a python string or a pathtlib.Path. Use str(the_path) if you don't know what you're getting in.

I filed it at NREL/OpenStudio#5133
