Actions using ftrack_api 2 2

[Eder Agreda 0]

Hello,so far I used legacy api to create some actions.Then using "FTRACK_EVENT_PLUGIN_PATH" I made them visible for all my team;

but lately I've been reading about the new api and tried to create an action using it.I found a sort of example  but I am having some trouble to make it work.

Please look at this and tell me what is wrong or what is missing:

Could you the insert code button, so we can copy/paste the action?

here it is:

 

# :coding: utf-8
import logging
import uuid
import ftrack_api


class checkShots(object):
    """Custom action"""
    label = "Check Shot(s)"
    identifier = 'com.ftrack.{0}'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
    description = "Let you populate shots"
    
    def __init__(self, self.session):
        '''Initialise action handler.'''
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(
            __name__ + '.' + self.__class__.__name__
        )
        self.session = session
    
    
    def register(self):
        '''Register action.'''
        self.session.event_hub.subscribe(
            'topic=ftrack.action.discover',
            self.discover
        )
        self.session.event_hub.subscribe(
            'topic=ftrack.action.launch and data.actionIdentifier={0}'.format(
                self.identifier
            ),
            self.launch
        )
    
    def discover(self, event):
        '''Return action config.'''
        selection = event['data']['selection']

        # Need something to convert.
        if not selection:
            return
 
 
    def launch(self, event):        
        selection = event['data']['selection']
        if selection:
            return {
                "success": True,
                "message": "Looking good!"
            }



def main():
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    session = ftrack_api.session()

    action = checkShots(session)
    action.register()
    
    session.event_hub.wait()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

 

thanks!

The main reason your action didn't work was because you weren't returning anything in the "discover" method. There was also some problems with syntax, and I've isolated the action to be only for the current user instead of everyone (look at the change in the "register" method). Have a look at the code below:

 

# :coding: utf-8
import logging
import uuid
import ftrack_api
import getpass


class checkShots(object):
    """Custom action"""
    label = "Check Shot(s)"
    identifier = 'com.ftrack.{0}'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
    description = "Let you populate shots"

    def __init__(self, session):
        '''Initialise action handler.'''
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(
            __name__ + '.' + self.__class__.__name__
        )
        self.session = session


    def register(self):
        '''Register action.'''
        self.session.event_hub.subscribe(
            'topic=ftrack.action.discover and source.user.username={0}'.format(
                getpass.getuser()
            ),
            self.discover
        )
        self.session.event_hub.subscribe(
            'topic=ftrack.action.launch and source.user.username={0} '
            'and data.actionIdentifier={1}'.format(
                getpass.getuser(), self.identifier
            ),
            self.launch
        )

    def discover(self, event):
        '''Return action config.'''

        selection = event['data']['selection']

        # Need something to convert.
        if not selection:
            return

        return {
            'items': [{
                'label': self.label,
                'actionIdentifier': self.identifier,
                'icon': "http://a.fsdn.com/allura/p/djv/icon"
            }]
        }


    def launch(self, event):
        selection = event['data']['selection']
        if selection:
            return {
                "success": True,
                "message": "Looking good!"
            }



def main():
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    session = ftrack_api.Session()

    action = checkShots(session)
    action.register()

    session.event_hub.wait()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
