Issue with save function

[tvoirand]

Hi,

Thank you for this project !

I am getting errors when trying to use the save function.

The code below:

from processing_py import *
app = App(100, 100) 
app.stroke(255, 255, 255) 
app.background(0, 0, 0) 
app.line(0, 0, 50, 50)
app.redraw()
app.save("test.png")

Returns a NameError:

Starting App...
>> [Jython] Created!
>> NameError("name 'test' is not defined",)

And the code below:

from processing_py import *
app = App(100, 100)
app.stroke(255, 255, 255) 
app.background(0, 0, 0)
app.line(0, 0, 50, 50)
app.redraw()
app.save("/path/to/project/test.png")

Returns a SyntaxError:

>> [Jython] Created!
>> SyntaxError("no viable alternative at input '/'", ('<string>', 1, 5, 'save(/path/to/project/test.png)\n'))

Any hint on what is going wrong ?

Here is my config:

• mac OS X 10.10.5
• java version "1.6.0_65"
• python v3.7.9
• processing-py 0.3.6

Same error here in same conditions.

Edited: The fix below solved the issue for me in linux(at least) if I use:
app.save("/home/USER/sketchbook/PROJECT/name_of_file.jpg")

Changed lines 222 and 223 in app.py to:

def save(self,file_name):
self.sendLine('save(''+str(file_name)+'''+')')

@FarukHammoud @JGrigolo @tvoirand
The changes suggested by @JGrigolo don't account for escaping the single-quote marks, and should instead follow the same format as the properly working 'saveFrame' function (which comes immediately after in app.py).

This works for me:

	def save(self,file_name):
                self.sendLine('save(\''+str(file_name)+'\''+')')

Thank you @JGrigolo and @thirtysix.

I would like to test both solutions, but how can I edit and install the package in development mode?

I am used to having a setup.py file at the root of the project allowing me to do so with: $ pip install -e .
