if I try to use the run_discovery_script_file to send anything other than individual string parameters, it fails. While this is slightly documented https://geometry.docs.pyansys.com/version/dev/api/ansys/geometry/core/modeler/Modeler.html#Modeler.run_discovery_script_file() it doesn't say that the dict can be exclusively flat dict. I have tried all variations (nested dictionaries, tuples, lists of strings etc) and only a key:string combination works for the script_args sent to a discovery file.
And, to make it useful in the future, it would be nice to be able to send more data to the disco launch.
π Steps to reproduce
run the following script to try to send a dict with two keys, the second key being a list of a single string, but it will fail with more than one also.
import tempfile
from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler_with_discovery
import os
version = 242
file_name = 'dummy.py'
path2dummy = os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(),file_name)
with open(path2dummy,'w') as f:
f.write('#nothing')
input_dict = {'a':'1', 'b':['2']}
modeler_discovery = launch_modeler_with_discovery(product_version = version)
modeler = modeler_discovery
values = modeler.run_discovery_script_file(path2dummy, script_args = input_dict)
modeler.close()
