Hey there, we are trying to add managers programatically when a corresponding field was altered. We tried this: project = ftrack.getProject('dev_tutorial') user = ftrack.User('username') managerType = ftrack.ManagerType('Supervisor') # Add the user as a supervisor on the dev_tutorial project. manager = project.createManager(user, managerType) (taking a correct project, user and managerType) ..which is described here. But sadly this didn't work. what do we have to do to create these managers via the new api, since 'Manager' is not a known type? Generally: it helps a lot going through the migration notes and code-snippets to get hints on how to use the new api, but every now and then, we stumble on something, that can not be found. Is there a common way to find out usages? EDIT: Some addition information: This is the line that crashes: manager = project.createManager(userToUse, managerType) the resulting log gives us: 2018-01-09 10:20:00,404 - ftrack_api.event.hub.EventHub - ERROR - Error calling subscriber <Subscriber metadata={'id': '619a63bab1c443d09f4d982926e36196'} subscription="topic=ftrack.update"> for event <Event {'topic': u'ftrack.update', 'source': {u'applicationId': u'ftrack.client.web', u'user': {u'username': u'TEdelmann', u'id': u'75b59aae-e1bb-11e7-ad88-7ab7a47c9dda'}, u'id': u'b85b77aa-f51d-11e7-92c6-7ab7a47c9dda'}, 'target': u'', 'data': {u'entities': [{u'keys': [u'Briefing_Team_01_TandemProducer_EUsers'], u'objectTypeId': u'show', u'entityType': u'show', u'parents': [{u'entityId': u'108157f2-e3d9-11e7-9067-7ab7a47c9dda', u'entityType': u'show', u'parentId': None}], u'parentId': None, u'action': u'update', u'entityId': u'108157f2-e3d9-11e7-9067-7ab7a47c9dda', u'changes': {u'Briefing_Team_01_TandemProducer_EUsers': {u'new': u'Daniel Brylka', u'old': u'Daniel Schindler'}}}], u'pushToken': u'b91a65ca-f51d-11e7-b15d-7ab7a47c9dda', u'parents': [u'108157f2-e3d9-11e7-9067-7ab7a47c9dda'], u'user': {u'userid': u'75b59aae-e1bb-11e7-ad88-7ab7a47c9dda', u'name': u'Tim Edelmann'}, u'clientToken': u'b85b77aa-f51d-11e7-92c6-7ab7a47c9dda'}, 'in_reply_to_event': None, 'id': u'5e7358c282f448729f42a0d342bdd3d3', 'sent': None}>.

Thanks in advance! Tim

I have written a custom action to upload a reference movie clip to a shot in ftrack. Once the action is launched, it creates a movie from images on disk and then uploads this movie as an attachment to the shot. After the action is launched, the movie creation and upload runs asynchronously. What's the best way to give feedback to the user regarding the asynchronous processes? I can output messages to the terminal, but an artist may not look at their terminal or even have it open. How can I do I give feedback in the ftrack web UI? Thanks, Natasha

Hello everybody, fellow ftrackers. I am having trouble doing the simplest thing on my ftrack server: accessing the session through ftrack_api. session = ftrack_api.Session( server_url='ftrack_server', api_key='1337-key', api_user='ftrack_username' ) All my keyword arguments are correct, however, I keep getting the same bullshit: No handlers could be found for logger "ftrack_api.session.Session" Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:/Work/Python/ftrack.py", line 11, in <module> api_user='ftrack_username' File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ftrack_api\session.py", line 213, in __init__ self._server_information = self._fetch_server_information() File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ftrack_api\session.py", line 1235, in _fetch_server_information result = self._call([{'action': 'query_server_information'}]) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ftrack_api\session.py", line 1519, in _call raise ftrack_api.exception.ServerError(error_message) ftrack_api.exception.ServerError: <exception str() failed> Someone please explain to me the ServerError issue. I am doing a trial version of Ftrack to keep myself up to speed on this app, but I am doing something wrong. Thanks guys!
