Hey guys,

I just tried installing ftrack-connect through `pip install --target=C:\work\pipeline\dev\app\python git+https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-connect.git`.

The installation seemed to go smooth, but after the installation I tried running the ftrack connect service with: `python -m ftrack_connect`.

That gave me the following error:

```

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\lib\runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "C:\work\pipeline\dev\apps\python\ftrack_connect\__main__.py", line 29, in <module>
    import ftrack_connect.ui.application
  File "C:\work\pipeline\dev\apps\python\ftrack_connect\ui\application.py", line 14, in <module>
    import ftrack_api._centralized_storage_scenario
ImportError: No module named _centralized_storage_scenario

```

Any idea what might be going wrong?

Edit: How can I do code highlighting here on the forum? :)

Hi,

Just to be clear, you do want to install and use ftrack Connect this way rather than downloading our pre-built package:

https://www.ftrack.com/portfolio/connect

The problem you see is because the Connect master HEAD relies on a version of ftrack-python-api that is not released yet. Try and checkout tag 0.1.19 from the git repo.

As for the code highlighting there is a button, "Code", that you can use to insert code into your posts:

    exec code in run_globals
  File "C:\work\pipeline\dev\apps\python\ftrack_connect\__main__.py", line 29, in <module>
    import ftrack_connect.ui.application
  File "C:\work\pipeline\dev\apps\python\ftrack_connect\ui\application.py", line 14, in <module>
    import ftrack_api._centralized_storage_scenario
ImportError: No module named _centralized_storage_scenario

It does not seem to have a "python" option, but "C" gives an okay result

Sweet. That fixed it, thanks!

Of course now I have other stuff on my hands, but hope to play some more with ftrack-connect soon! :)

Funnily enough when I was at home it didn't show the full editor but only two or three buttons, here it shows fine. Anyway, with the icons in the editor it makes much more sense seeing the code icon! Thanks anyway.

Not sure if related so posting it in the same topic just in case.

The ftrack-connect launches fine. But whenever I try to access the widgets through python I'm getting No module named ftrack errors.

For example 

import ftrack_connect.ui.widget.user

This will result in that error. Do I need to install an "ftrack" module separately?

Actually. I'm also getting the No module named ftrack error when trying to log in with the window that pops up with `python -m ftrack_connect`.

So it still seems something is off with the install.

EDIT: Just tried installing again but it seems that no ftrack module gets installed. Is this an issue with 0.1.19? Or do I need to install that separately?

Hmm, even more interesting. When browsing that tag on bitbucket it doesn't have the `import ftrack` statement but when installing with `pip install` of that particular tag it does have that statement. It seems that pip install might be messing up somewhere.

EDIT2: Does anyone know the exact pip install line to run to install from a specific tag. Just adding `@0.1.19` doesn't seem to do what was needed. I seem to be unable to install this through pip install.

About the "No module named ftrack" issue; it is a bit hidden but as mentioned here http://ftrack-connect.rtd.ftrack.com/en/latest/installing.html#dependencies you need to donwload the ftrack api and make it available on the PYTHONPATH before launching ftrack connect. 

I had actually seen this, but I assumed the pip install also took this dependency along. But I'll download that separately and then it should work?

This is the command I was running from a .bat file in the installation directory:
  

pip install --target=%~dp0 git+https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-connect.git@0.1.19

Ok. I restarted the whole process with a clean slate and have it working now. The actual step for pip install that I took was: 

pip install --target=C:/tmp/target git+https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-connect.git@0.1.19#egg=ftrack_connect

After that I downloaded the API package from the ftrack server and added it to the PYTHONPATH.

I edited the ftrack.py file so it contained my API key and server URL and then launched ftrack connect with `python -m ftrack_connect` succesfully.

Sorry for the trouble!

No worries at all!

It does, but the legacy ftrack api does not exist as an installable in a public repository so we cannot have it as a real dependency. The new ftrack-python-api is public and is uploaded to pypi. But for the legacy one we still haven't got to that - it is however something we would like to fix!

I'm running into the same "No module named ftrack" error.  I've manually installed the API from our ftrackapp site and added it to PYTHONPATH during launch like so: 

FTRACK_API_LEGACY = 'path\to\ftrack_legacy_api'

if not FTRACK_API_LEGACY in sys.path:
	sys.path.append( FTRACK_API_LEGACY )

subprocess.Popen(['python', '-m', 'ftrack_connect'])

Here's a new post with more details and related questions:

I'm starting a new basic project and did a fresh install of Python because I muddied up the default install when I first started getting into Ftrack.  I'm also starting to use a virtual env.  I'm having trouble getting my ftrack-connect submodule set up and built now.  Here's my repo for context: https://github.com/mikebourbeauart/ftrack-from-source

  1. I add the submodule to my repo like so: 
# Open git bash at this dir: [root_dir]\modules\ftrack\connect
git submodule add https://borbs727@bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-connect.git ftrack-connect

2.  Then I go to that path [root_dir]\modules\ftrack\connect\ftrack-connect, shift+right click and open a command window

3. Then I run: 

python setup.py develop

I get an error after a while that I need to specify the cmake path with --cmake... I didn't have to do this in my other project.

4. I've also tried going to my venv, opening a command window at that path, and running: 

pip install -e [root_path]\modules\ftrack\connect\ftrack-connect

I get the same error though.  

5. I've also tried this: 

pip install -e git+https://bitbucket.org/ftrack/ftrack-connect.git@0.1.26#egg=ftrack_connect

Am I missing something on my local install of Python?

Here's a bit of the log, it seems to be related to PySide:

I ended up installing and building it through the console:

  1. Open command prompt at [root_dir]\venvs\ftrack-api-env
  2. Activate the venv:
    1. [root_dir]\venv\ftrack-api-env\Scripts\activate
  3. Install the ftrack-connect package:
    1. pip install -e [root_dir]\modules\ftrack\connect\ftrack-connect
  4. Open command prompt at [root_dir]\modules\ftrack\connect\ftrack-connect
    1. python setup.py build
