Python-Sikuli-ConfigParser.NoSectionError

Question

This is my code:

import ConfigParser
configuration = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
configuration.read('timesheetconfig.ini')
username = configuration.get('internal','username')
password = configuration.get('internal','password')
url  = configuration.get('internal','url')
browser = configuration.get('internal','browser') 

I've also tried replacing: configuration.read('C:\\SikuliConfig\\timesheetconfig.ini')

This is the timesheetconfig.ini

[internal]
username = username
password = password
url = https://www.sometimesheeturl/login.html
browser = chrome

Do you know why I'm getting???

[error] script [ ScriptName ] stopped with error in line 4
[error] ConfigParser.NoSectionError ( No section: 'internal' )

Answer 1

For some reason the configuration.read cannot open the file in the same folder. I tested the same code in Python with Cygwin and it works fine, so it is related to Sikuli.

I solved this issue by adding after import ConfigParser:

import ConfigParser
# get the directory containing your running .sikuli
myPath = os.path.dirname(getBundlePath())
if not myPath in sys.path: sys.path.append(myPath)

Then

config.read('%s\config.ini' % myPath)
