Hello,
I'm trying to run a .lydrc on a large data set that performs some booleans with the following command line:
klayout_app -e -b -r <lydrc path>
I receive the following error:
*** ERROR: <lydrc path>:4: undefined method `log_file' for main:Object
The same error occurs at any global method (source() or verbose() for example).
The first lines of the lydrc file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<klayout-macro>
<text>
# LOGGING
log_file('<log path>')
verbose(true)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for any help.

Hi,
does the script run from the macro IDE?
I think, in your file some of the metadata is missing. Specifically the interpreter is not given. Please try to add this information:
without that information, KLayout will not run the script in the context of the DRC engine.

That did it, thanks! It's interesting, and maybe I missed spotting a change being made in the documentation for the later KLayout versions, but my original .lydrc ran just fine without those lines on KLayout 0.23.11.
Thanks again,
Ryan
Hi Ryna,
0.24 was heavily reworked in the course of Python integration. I am not aware to have changed the semantics of the .lydrc format, but at least the interpreter spec got more important with Python being a new choice of a script interpreter.
I think the .lydrc files written by KLayout already contained the interpreter spec, so I hope there is no backward compatibility issue with files written by KLayout itself.
Regards,
Matthias
