How to check connecting to server completed before publising events ?

[YuChen]

Hi all,

I wonder if there's any sesssion attribute I can use for checking connection to server have been made. "wait" function trick works, but I think there should be an elegant solution  

session = ftrack_api.Session(auto_connect_event_hub=True)
session.event_hub.subscribe('topic=custom.test_event1', my_callback)
custom_event = ftrack+api.event.base.Event(topic='custom.test_event1', data={})
session.event_hub.wait(duration=5)    # Given enough time to connect to server
session.event_hub.publish(custom_event)
session.event_hub.wait(duration=5)    # Given enough time to recieve the callback result

Any suggestion ?

Seems to work if you just manually call "session.event_hub.connect()" instead of "auto_connect_event_hub=True"

Awesome !

Since "session.event_hub.connect" works so well, why we need "ftrack_api.Session(auto_connect_event_hub=True)" ? I mean, in what situation should I connect manually and others use auto connect ?

Hi @Lorenzo Angeli
Sorry not getting back to you sooner. I'm not allow to install Python 3 in company's machine so can not test with that issue. Please let me know if you need my testing file.

Thanks.
