Houdini Connect FTRACK_SHOTID and FTRACK_TASKID variables

[jamesr]

Hey everybody, 

I was wondering where/when 'FTRACK_SHOTID' and 'FTRACK_TASKID'  variables get set.  I'm trying to get ftrack-houdini-connect to run all the way, but I get this error 

There is an error in the ftrack_importAsset_panel script.

Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "", line 1, in 
     File "", line 9, in createInterface
     File "c:/Users/IE/houdini16.0/scripts/python/pythonrc.py", line 150, in showDialog
     dialog = FtrackImportAssetDialog(connector=connector)
     File "C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/ftrack_connect-1.1.0-py2.7.egg\ftrack_connect\ui\widget\import_asset.py", line 38, in __init__
     os.getenv('FTRACK_SHOTID')
     File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ftrack_python_legacy_api-3.6.1-py2.7.egg\FTrackCore\api\ftobject.py", line 63, in __init__
     raise FTrackError("Id or dict must be supplied when creating object")
    FTrackError: Id or dict must be supplied when creating object

I'm very new to FTrack, but I think it's very close to working. I'm using the example hook from the docs to get houdini to run from connect and the browser interface. Is there anything different I should be doing? 

Thanks!

Hey,

You'll need to modify the application launcher: https://github.com/tokejepsen/ftrack-hooks/blob/0d882c84ff314df4ac000cd1145e4835a1e3a2a6/houdini/resource/hook/houdini.py#L176-L196

You could modify that plugin with FTRACK_SHOTID and use it. If you do, I would welcome a PR:)
