Root Node

[bfattorini]

I'm trying to get the Root Node in Python but obviously I haven't quite grapsed the concept fully. Can someone give me an idea as to where I may be going wrong?

"WireTapServerHandle::getRootNode
bool WireTapServerHandle::getRootNode(
WireTapNodeHandle &root
) const"

"The root node may be queried through the call getRootNode.."
"root: The root parameter is a WireTapNodeHandle object."
"Upon success, the result is placed in the root parameter."


# server = WireTapServerHandle('myMachine')
# root = WireTapNodeHandle()
# rootNode = server.getRootNode(root)
# print root
or
# print root.getNodeId()

Gives ""


Rather than an ID I would like to see the root node as a string, perhaps I need to call 'WireTapNodeHandle::getNodeTypeStr' once I get the concept correct?

Hi,

You're hitting a bit of silliness in the API. To see the actual ID on a WireTapNodeId object, you need to call the id() function as follows:

node.getNodeId().id()

Yucky. A simple cast operator on our end should do the trick. We'll try to get that in to avoid the confusion.
