I’m trying to bootstrap sgtk on the farm. If I don’t set a configuration specifically, then it falls back to the Primary config, which is fine by me for now. However, my Primary pipeline configuration does not have a descriptor since it never needed one, it has an uploaded config that works just fine. But this bootstrap process needs a descriptor it seems like, or else it gives me this error:
No config descriptor specified - Cannot create a configuration object.
If I give it a descriptor, like this: sgtk:descriptor:shotgun?entity_type=PipelineConfiguration&name=Primary&field=sg_uploaded_config
It gives me the error: Invalid version in descriptor {'type': 'shotgun', 'entity_type': 'PipelineConfiguration', 'name': 'Primary', 'field': 'sg_uploaded_config', 'version': 'latest'}
I don’t know how to modify this descriptor or how to get the latest version of this config.
I just can’t seem to find any documentation about how to set this properly.
Seems a bit dull to give the config a descriptor that point back right at the current config.
Seems like it only works specifying the version of the attached config. You can get the ID by API (querying the sg_uploaded_config of the pipeline configuration) or in the Files page in the webpage.
Thanks @Jaziel !
I already checked the documentation you sent, but as you could also see, there was no ‘latest’ option so I ended up with the exact solution you’re mentioning.
Yes, maybe I remember a manual solution for this but… maybe not haha, seems like a bug for me, because you will need to update the version id every time you upgrade the configuration.
I can avoid updating the pipeline config entity descriptor by setting it in the code dynamically:
mgr.base_configuration = {
'type': 'shotgun',
'entity_type': 'PipelineConfiguration', # entity type
'name': 'Primary', # name of the record in shotgun (e.g. 'code' field)
'project_id': project_id, # optional project id. If omitted, name is assumed to be unique.
'field': 'uploaded_config', # attachment field where payload can be found
'version': latest_file_entity_id # attachment id of particular attachment
}
