Why is instance variable not getting recognized

Question

I have the following class in Python.

import os,ConfigParser

class WebPageTestConfigUtils:

    def __init__(self, configParser=None, configFilePath=None):
             


        

Answer 1

That's expected. In your code, python will not be able to access class members without self. Here is the correct code:

def initializeConfig(self):
    self.configParser.read(self.configFilePath)
    return self.configParser

def getConfigValue(self,key):
    return self.configParser.get('WPTConfig', key)

Answer 2

You are defining

...
self.configParser = ConfigParser.RawConfigParser()
...

And accessing using

...
configParser.read(configFilePath)
...

You have to access as self.configParser.
