I get the error saying the function is not defined when I try to to call a user-defined function from another user-defined function in server-side script.
The error says function not defined.
I am using the ERPNext interface for the scripting. How do I connect these functions? If I define a class, it gives me
“NameError: name ‘metaclass’ is not defined”
please send us the error output.
Hi, this is the error when I put both the user defined functions in a class.

If I do not use any class, and call first user defined function get_doctype() from the next user defined function, I get the following error -

Hello,
Server scripts only allow access to subset of functionality. You can find it here: Script API
So this means I cannot call a function from another function within the same script in the case of in-app scripting?
You can. You’re probably creating a class in script? That isn’t allowed.
__metaclass__ error is most likely from use of classes.
Creating a class was something I tried after I could not call a function from another function.
I have written them one below another. In the same in-app server-side script. When I call the function, it says it is not defined. That’s why I am trying to get some way I can do this. I want to have one recursive function that calls another function for some info.
I don’t want to use the concept of class if not required.
Very difficult to guess what exactly you are doing. Can you share a minimal reproducible example? Doesn’t have to be exact code.
def test():
return 2
def get_source():
b = test()
frappe.msgprint(b)
frappe.msgprint("Inside get_source() ")
Here I am trying to call test() from get_source().
It gives me an error saying test() is not defined.
I have an experience where we can not use an imported function in server script doc type of UI , if we write in the .py file of that document then we can use the imported function without any issue.
So you can move ahead this way also
I am not importing. I am writing them together like below -
def test():
return 2
def get_source():
b = test()
frappe.msgprint(b)
frappe.msgprint("Inside get_source() ")
Here I am trying to call test() from get_source().
It gives me an error saying test() is not defined.
Hello,
I am struggeling with the scheduling stuff in frappe.
It is at this time a showstopper.
I try to call a function in a custom app i have written in a serverside script i cant access the app or the function i wrote there.
Another trial was using hooks.py, but this was a complete failure “Event all does not exist!” i get when trying to trigger the ecent all from the bench cli.
Also a bench migrate caused no effect.
Has anyone an idea how to realize scheduling in frappe calling a function in a custom app?
I accept also external solutions, because this point is a showstopper.
