```python
class InitialScan:
def __init__(self):
total_size_h264File...
And where do you want to use getters and setters in this code?
By the way, you should set self.var, not just var
def __init__(self):
self.total_size_h264Files = 0
self.total_size_hevcFiles = 0
self.total_size_otherFiles = 0
self.error_files = []
i get error with my get_total_size_h264Files()

There are also more problems like
@staticmethod
def perform_initial_scan(self, folder_path: Path, debug=False):
```A `@staticmethod` doesn't have access to a `self`
```py
if codec == "h264":
h264_files.append(file_name)
h264_file_paths.append(file_path)
self.total_size_h264 += file_size
```more variables that might want to be `self.(...)` instead, your call on this onewhere do u mean? i dont see var here in the snippet u sent
old forge
where do u mean? i dont see `var` here in the snippet u sent
var as in any variable
Those variables you set in __init__ won't be in self.(...)

cause you need this instead of what you have

alright i have fixed this , what next?
old forge
alright i have fixed this , what next?
fix the staticmethod thing
pale kite
done
old forge
And also, where would you want to use setters/getters?
pale kite
removed the decorators
get_total_size_h264Files()
on this func
so i can access total_size_h264Files
from an object
wait
i think
these works now
old forge
The pythonic way is
def __init__(self, ...):
self._total_size_h264Files = 0 # leading _ to avoid name clash...
# ...here
@property
def total_size_h264Files(self):
return self._total_size_h264Files
because we fixed self in init() ?
yeah earlier it was not working
i think because of the init func being incorrectly done
old forge
Though you really don't need a getter/setter if you just want to access/change an attribute
They're useful in certain scenarios, but if you're just doing this
def __init__(self, ...):
self._total_size_h264Files = 0
@property
def total_size_h264Files(self):
return self._total_size_h264Files
@total_size_h264Files.setter
def total_size_h264Files(self, new_value):
self._total_size_h264Files = new_value
Then there is 0 reason to do that instead of simply
def __init__(self, ...):
self.total_size_h264Files = 0
noted!
makes sense
thank you for helping me
pale kite
why do i get this
self.total_size_h264 += file_size
when i use this inside a method
@old forge any idea?
old forge
<@208918673178492929> any idea?
Did you save?
pale kite
yes
old forge
```self.total_size_h264 += file_size```
You didn't define it in your init so it doesn't exist yet when you did this statement

😮 oh its a global var
