Unable to create filesystem structure using SGTK

Pipeline Integrations

Hi there,

I’m trying to use the create_filesystem_structure() function within SGTK to create and register directories for an asset.

Here’s a bare-bones version of my code:

mgr = sgtk.bootstrap.ToolkitManager()
mgr.base_configuration = DESCRIPTOR_STRING
mgr.plugin_id = "basic.testplugin"
engine = mgr.bootstrap_engine("tk-shell")
tk = engine.sgtk
sg_asset = tk.shotgun.find_one("Asset", [["id", "is", 100]])
tk.create_filesystem_structure("Asset", sg_asset["id"])

I get the following stack trace when attempting to run this code in several different python environments:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testscript.py", line 48, in <module>
    tk.create_filesystem_structure("Asset", sg_asset["id"])

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

I’m probably missing something obvious here :slight_smile:
Any help would be much appreciated!

Your asset needs linked to a project. Check the project field on the asset on the website.

Hey Patrick, Thanks for your response!

The asset does appear to have a project assigned to it in the project field:

I was able to get this working by passing in the project id to the bootstrap_engine function.

engine = mgr.bootstrap_engine('tk-shell', {'type': 'Project', 'id': PROJ_ID})

Have a nice day!
