Creating Attachments

I am trying to create an attachment from a jpeg file.

What is wrong with my data syntax?

    logger.info(' ===== attachment_path: %s' % attachment_path)
    logger.info(' ===== attachment_name: %s' % attachment_name)
        
    attachment_data = { 'project': self._app.context.project,
                        'this_file': {'content_type': 'image/jpeg',
                                      'link_type': 'upload',
                                      'name':attachment_name,
                                      'url':attachment_path
                                      }
                        }
    
    sg_attachment = self._app.shotgun.create('Attachment',attachment_data,['id'])

===== attachment_path: /var/folders/vt/6bwbz02s6nsf2s1gj1gvmvf9g8sgjg/T/5fc5bb430a6c48bfa3485f01896cb279_sgtk.jpg
===== attachment_name: 5fc5bb430a6c48bfa3485f01896cb279_sgtk.jpg

Hi Soup!

Is your attachment path a local path? If so, you probably actually want the upload method.

Uploads cannot be created directly on Attachments. Instead, you need to use the upload() method.

Cheers!

Hey @CGSoup—I changed the solution to be @Michael.Kessler’s reply so that people reading this thread in the future see that up top. :+1:

I misunderstood the purpose of the Solution checkbox. Seems obvious now.
