Hi ,
I'm basing my code on this cascade status changes hook: https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-recipes/src/master/python/events/cascade_status_changes/hook/status_listener_hook.py
I have the following function that I use to update the status of an "Asset Configuration" entity automatically, it returns the status of the "from entity" of an incoming link:
asset_configuration_states = ['IN_PROGRESS', 'NOT_STARTED', 'CANCELLED', 'DONE']
def get_state_name_asset_configuration(link):
'''Return the short name of *link*'s state, if valid, otherwise None.'''
try:
state = link['from']['status']['state']['short']
print link['from']['name']
print state
except KeyError:
logger.info(u'Child {} has no status'.format(
ftrack_api.inspection.identity(link['from'])
))
return
if state not in asset_configuration_states:
logger.warning(u'Unknown state returned: {}'.format(state))
return
return state
If all the links return DONE then I also update the Asset Configuration to DONE. It seems however that sometimes this function returns the old state of these "from entities" and not the new updated one.
An example:
I have an "Asset Configuration" entity with 5 incoming links. 4 of these incoming links have as status DONE, and I change the status of the 5th incoming link from IN_PROGRESS to DONE as well. This triggers the call of the get_state_name_asset_configuration() function which should now only return DONE for all the incoming links, however the 5th link still has as its state IN_PROGRESS.
I have a similar function for a Shot that checks the status of its sub-tasks just like in the status_listener_hook.py file, and that one works when checking the status of a task. Is the problem that I'm checking the status through a link, and this isn't updated yet at the time of checking? If so is there a way to force them to update before I call this function?
Edit: after doing some testing it seems to me that Tasks do return their correct status, but entities like Folders/Shots/Sequences do not (they still return their old non updated Status)?
