Not all module statically reachable from package root

[jmoldow]

By that I mean, if you run certain static analyzers on boxsdk, they might tell you that some modules are never used.

For example, import boxsdk will run from .object import *, and boxsdk.object has folder in its __all__. So at runtime, import boxsdk should import boxsdk.object.folder and include it in sys.modules.

However, some static analyzers aren't smart enough to realize that folder is imported this way, and may assume that folder is not used somewhere. We've found that py2app and pyinstaller both make this assumption, and will optimize boxsdk.object.folder out of the build, along with some other modules.

We should:

• Make sure that all modules are included at least once in a very explicit way.
• Write a test to assert this.

I've started working on this.

Hi, I am working with the boxsdk and pyinstaller modules to create a stand alone application, but I am getting the following error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 627, in exec_module exec(bytecode, module.dict) File "boxsdk/init.py", line 8, in AttributeError: module 'boxsdk.object' has no attribute 'collaboration'

Is this still being worked on now?

this issue is blocking deployment of my project, what can we do to resolve this. does anyone know the broken hidden imports!

[sam2332]

added to spec file

         hiddenimports=['box[jwt]','boxsdk.object'],

im still getting the following error.

File "site-packages\boxsdk_init_.py", line 8, in AttributeError: module 'boxsdk.object' has no attribute 'collaboration_whitelist_entry' [98048] Failed to execute script generate

Hi, I had to specifically import each module for it to work, ie. collaboration_whitelist_entry is a specific import line for me.

         hiddenimports=[

            'boxsdk.object.collaboration',
            'boxsdk.object.collaboration_whitelist',
            'boxsdk.object.collaboration_whitelist_entry',

            'boxsdk.object.comment',
            'boxsdk.object.device_pinner',
            'boxsdk.object.enterprise',
            'boxsdk.object.events',
            'boxsdk.object.event',
            'boxsdk.object.file',
            'boxsdk.object.file_version',
            'boxsdk.object.file_version_retention',
            'boxsdk.object.folder',
            'boxsdk.object.group',
            'boxsdk.object.group_membership',
            'boxsdk.object.legal_hold',
            'boxsdk.object.legal_hold_policy',
            'boxsdk.object.legal_hold_policy_assignment',
            'boxsdk.object.metadata_cascade_policy',
            'boxsdk.object.metadata_template',
            'boxsdk.object.recent_item',
            'boxsdk.object.retention_policy',
            'boxsdk.object.retention_policy_assignment',
            'boxsdk.object.search',
            'boxsdk.object.storage_policy',

            'boxsdk.object.webhook',
            'boxsdk.object.watermark',
            'boxsdk.object.web_link']

YOU ARE AWESOME! thank you so much

[eliasyishak]

i've been there before! glad to help

[jerkmuffin]

Nice one @eliasIBM Thank you

[fedelemantuano]

I suggest a different method. In .spec file I added:

import boxsdk.object

boxsdk_objects = [f"boxsdk.object.{i}" for i in dir(boxsdk.object) if not i.startswith("__")]

...
hiddenimports=boxsdk_objects,
...

In my project it works.
