Creating a ReviewSessionObject with asset linked to no task

[Florent Dupont]

Hello everyone!

For the needs of our production, i'm developping a tool that will have to create ReviewSessions filleds with ReviewSessionsObject on AssetsVersion that are not linked to a task. Basically, i need to use the api to do what this button in the review session would do:

 

To achieve this i have written the following code:

assetParent = session.query('Project where name is "MyProject"').first()
assetType = session.query('AssetType where name is "Upload"').one()

asset = session.create('Asset',{
    'name': 'MyAsset',
    'type': assetType,
    'parent': assetParent
})

assetVersion = session.create('AssetVersion',{
    'Asset' : asset,
})

review_session_objects  = session.create('ReviewSessionObject', {
    'name': 'Test',
    'description': 'This is a test',
    'review_session': session.query('ReviewSession where name is "MyReviewSession"').first(),
    'asset_version' : assetVersion
})

assetVersion.create_component(
    'image.png',
    data={'name': 'FileName'},
    location=session.query('Location where name is "ftrack.server"').one()
)

session.commit()

which outputs me the following error message:

Server reported error: PermissionError(Permission denied: not allowed to 'create' 'FileComponent'. Missing the required 'READ_PROJECT' permission.)

Now my API key has the same right as my user and the user can definitly create it from the ftrack UI.

I have tried adding the component on an AssetVersion that was created via the UI and it works, so i believe there's something wrong with the way i create my Asset, AssetVersion or my ReviewSessionObject, but i cannot figure out what, and i've found no useful information on this matter in the documentation.

Thanks in advance for any help on this

Apparently my code worked, the error was due to the "asset" key having a capital A on the creation of my AssetVersion.
