Getting AttributeError: 'PathsWrapper' object has no attribute '_path'

Code from running: https://bbpgitlab.epfl.ch/molsys/bbp_me_type_to_mol_id/-/blob/main/downloader/BBP_downloader.py is causing the following exception:

I believe it's because the __dict__ is being reset here:
https://github.com/BlueBrain/nexus-forge/blob/master/kgforge/core/wrappings/paths.py#L94

We normally don't access/modify the __dict__ member, and I think it would be worthwhile to audit nexus-forge for usages of it.

Hi @mgeplf ,

Thanks for reporting this. This is a known issue(#26). We'll look into it. We need to rework that part of the code. Meanwhile, you can use:

• path.annotation.hasBody.type.id instead of path.annotation.hasBody.type
• or one of the two other search filter syntax supported by forge as shown in this notebook (section 'Searching') or in the doc

Duplicate issue #26

Meanwhile, you can use:

I'm pretty sure it's due to overwriting the __dict__ member that is causing the problem. Updating it w/ self.__dict__.update(paths) (which I consider a bad idea, b/c I'm not checking what is all in paths) seems to fix the problem.
