I have this code:
def saveInfo(self):
info = {}
info["title"] : self.getHeading()
info["user"] : self.getUser()
info["location"] : self.file_path
info["uploaded"] : False
print(info)
self.writeToJSONFile(self.workspace, 'ri', info)
but whenever i print the 'info' or try to save in json, I only get this printed: {}
and json file be like: {}{}{}{}...
You're mixing dictionary assignment and literal syntax (see the docs) and accidentally not causing syntax errors because it looks like a type annotation.
The idiomatic way to construct this dictionary would be:
info = {
"title": self.getHeading(),
"user": self.getUser(),
"location": self.file_path,
"uploaded": False,
}
Alternatively, you can assign each key one at a time with the = operator (not :!):
info = {}
info["title"] = self.getHeading()
info["user"] = self.getUser()
info["location"] = self.file_path
info["uploaded"] = False
