Bootstrapping maya engine with a script user still shows login window

jhultgre · February 24, 2021, 7:23pm

I’m trying to bootstrap tk-maya on our render farm using a script user.
I’m following this doc but I always get a login prompt that only has the name of the windows user filled in.

# Bootstrapping and running an app

This guide walks you through the process of initializing a Toolkit engine so that you can run custom code or launch apps, also known as bootstrapping.

Bootstrapping is useful in situations where a Toolkit engine has not already been started and you need to use the API.
For example, you might have a processing script that runs on a render farm and needs to utilize the Toolkit API to handle paths and context.
Or you may wish to be able to run your Toolkit app from your favorite IDE.

{% include info title="Note" content="If you are using a [distributed config](https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/tk-core/initializing.html#distributed-configurations), a Toolkit engine must be initialized before running Toolkit API methods. It is possible to use the API without bootstrapping an engine if you are using a [centralized config](https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/tk-core/initializing.html#centralized-configurations), using the [factory methods](https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/tk-core/initializing.html#factory-methods), however, you will need to manually find the path to the correct core API for your project when importing `sgtk`." %}

Is there something else I’m missing to get this to work.
Making the script user works but when I try to create the ToolkitManager I get the login screen.

def bootstrap_maya(api_script=SG_SCRIPT_NAME, api_key=SG_SCRIPT_KEY, host=SG_URL):
    # Initialize the logger so we get output to our terminal.
    sgtk.LogManager().initialize_custom_handler()
    # Set debugging to true so that we get more verbose output, (should only be used for testing).
    sgtk.LogManager().global_debug = True

    # set up the authenticator
    shotgun_auth = ShotgunAuthenticator()

    # make script user
    user = shotgun_auth.create_script_user(api_script=api_script, api_key=api_key, host=host)
    # set the current toolkit user
    sgtk.set_authenticated_user(user)

    mgr = sgtk.bootstrap.ToolkitManager()

    mgr.plugin_id = 'basic.maya'
    engine = mgr.bootstrap_engine('tk-maya', entity=PROJECT)
    return engine

This is the output in maya after trying to bootstrap.
