discover actions based on asset sub component

[Damien Keraudren]

Hi,

I want to show an action only if the asset have a specific component, I tried a for loop in the discover method returning True if a component name match the component i'm looking for, but it doesn't seems to work. 

Is this something possible and I'm doing it the wrong way or not possible at all ?

Hi @Damien Keraudren you approach seems quite right to me.
Would you mind sharing the discover method code so we can have a closer look ? 

Cheers.

it was something like this @Lorenzo Angeli

    def discover(self, session, entities, event):
        '''Return True if only one asset version is selected, else the action don't show up'''

        if len(entities) != 1:
            return False

        entity_type, entity_id = entities[0]
        if entity_type == 'AssetVersion':
            query = 'AssetVersion where id = {}'.format(entity_id)
            av = session.query(query).first()
            components = av['components']
            for component in components:
                if component['name'] == 'main':
                    return True


        return False

So after some tryings, I got it to work, the problem wasn't in the discover method, i just forgot the of class when i copy paste from my base action
