    def __init__(self): # constructeur

        super(GuiRenamator, self).__init__() # je ne sais pas ce que c'est
        self.contenuGui()

        dial_1.show()

    def contenuGui(self):

        lbl_nomDossier = QLabel("Nom du dossier: ")
        txt_nomDossier = QTextEdit()
        btn_selecDossier = QPushButton("+")

        self.show()


def main():

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    gui = GuiRenamator()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

When I run the script, the following message appear:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./layout_spike_1.py", line 90, in <module>
    main()
  File "./layout_spike_1.py", line 86, in main
    gui = GuiRenamator()
  File "./layout_spike_1.py", line 20, in __init__
    self.contenuGui()
  File "./layout_spike_1.py", line 54, in contenuGui
    btn_ok.clicked.connect(dialogTest)
NameError: global name 'dialogTest' is not defined

when I comment the line: btn_ok.clicked.connect(dialogTest) It works fine but i Can not connect the QPushButton to the dialogTest method.

I thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Kevin

Answer 1

replace that line with btn_ok.clicked.connect(self.dialogTest)
