Py4j Gateway issue when re-initializing pyboof

[gaurav-t-sca]

Steps to replicate on version 0.40.1:

import pyboof as pb
import numpy as np
pyboof_detector = pb.FactoryFiducial(np.uint8).qrcode()  # Works

pb.init_pyboof()
pyboof_detector = pb.FactoryFiducial(np.uint8).qrcode()  # Throws an error

The error thrown is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyboof/recognition.py", line 533, in __init__
    self.boof_image_type = dtype_to_Class_SingleBand(dtype)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyboof/image.py", line 512, in dtype_to_Class_SingleBand
    return gateway.jvm.java.lang.Class.forName(class_path)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/py4j/java_gateway.py", line 1709, in __getattr__
    answer = self._gateway_client.send_command(
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/py4j/java_gateway.py", line 1036, in send_command
    connection = self._get_connection()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/py4j/java_gateway.py", line 980, in _get_connection
    raise Py4JNetworkError("Gateway is not connected.")
py4j.protocol.Py4JNetworkError: Gateway is not connected

In the same interpreter, if I run pb.check_jvm(False) afterwards, it returns True

Versions:

• Python 3.8.13
• pyBoof 0.40.1
• py4j 0.10.9.7
• cat /etc/os-release -> Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This is caused by a quirk of python where global variables are copied into different .py files and not referenced.

working on a fix

branch fix/globals as an update that resolves the issue. Will test it more carefully later.

@gaurav-t-sca is this resolved?

I still have the same problem. With PyBoof 0.43.1, python 3.6.9, py4j 0.10.9.7.
