lwimager: cleaning with mask seems to fail

[Trienko]

Could someone please advise in what could be going wrong, I am trying to clean with a mask. I have successfully called imager.make_threshold_mask to make the mask, the mask fits file also exists. The imager variable is MASK_IMAGE is also set to this file. When I then call make_image it fails saying that MAKS_IMAGE is defined. What am I doing wrong?

Traceback (most recent call last):

This looks like a bug in pyxis. However, it should only be triggered if your mask is not a FITS file. Could you post the commands that you ran, to make and use the mask?

[Trienko]

thresh = peak_flux*0.08
print "thresh = ",thresh
#mask_im is a fits file
imager.make_threshold_mask(input=mask_im,threshold=thresh) # make mask
imager.make_image(column=column,dirty=options,restore=options,restore_lsm=False,mask=True)

I still haven't answered @Trienko :). You are passing a boolean as a clean mask. Try, mask=mask_im in imager.make_image(column=column,dirty=options,restore=options,restore_lsm=False,mask=True)
