Am I only allowed to yield results in the generate function?

[klim]

Is it only possible to yield results in the generate command? If I run the simple command below it only yields the "hello" message in the generate() function even though generate() calls generate2().

import sys, time
from splunklib.searchcommands import \
    dispatch, GeneratingCommand, Configuration, Option, validators

@Configuration()
class GenerateHelloCommand(GeneratingCommand):
    count = Option(require=True, validate=validators.Integer())

    def generate2(self):
        yield {'_time': time.time(), 'event_no': 2, '_raw': "hello 2"}

    def generate(self):
        self.generate2()
        yield {'_time': time.time(), 'event_no': 1, '_raw': "hello"}

dispatch(GenerateHelloCommand, sys.argv, sys.stdin, sys.stdout, __name__)

I believe that the yield in generate2 is "yielded" to genetate, however this does not do anything with it,

instead, depending what you're trying to achieve, you may be able to do:

import sys, time
from splunklib.searchcommands import \
    dispatch, GeneratingCommand, Configuration, Option, validators

@Configuration()
class GenerateHelloCommand(GeneratingCommand):
    count = Option(require=True, validate=validators.Integer())

    def generate2(self):
        yield {'_time': time.time(), 'event_no': 2, '_raw': "hello 2"}

    def generate(self):
        yield self.generate2()
        yield {'_time': time.time(), 'event_no': 1, '_raw': "hello"}

dispatch(GenerateHelloCommand, sys.argv, sys.stdin, sys.stdout, __name__)
