In my Add-on's __init__.py file I'm calling my modal operator's register function, then trying to invoke it using the following code:
MyOperator.py
class GRAPH_OT_MyOperator(Operator):
"""My Operator"""
bl_idname = "graph.my_operator"
bl_label = "My Operator"
def modal(self, context, event):
print("Test")
return {'PASS_THROUGH'}
def invoke(self, context, event):
context.window_manager.modal_handler_add(self)
return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}
def register():
bpy.utils.register_class(GRAPH_OT_MyOperator)
def unregister():
bpy.utils.unregister_class(GRAPH_OT_MyOperator)
__init__.py
def register():
my_operator.register()
bpy.ops.graph.my_operator('INVOKE_DEFAULT')
I'm getting the following error. Can anyone please tell me how I can run this modal operator after my Add-on is registered? Thank you!
