A question I’ve seen asked a few times is if you have a Project and you view it in Shotgun Desktop, which PipelineConfiguration will it use by default when there are multiple defined in Shotgun? The rules for bootstrapping and automatically selecting a PipelineConfiguration are listed: Project…

Thanks a lot for writing this up! Posts of this sort are really useful. One question - is there a toolkit utility function for this automatic selection of pipeline config? A lot of our scripts run outside shotgun desktop, and handle this stuff explicitly. Alas, I’m not very well acquainted with t…

If you are using the bootstrap API and don’t specifically specify a PipelineConfiguration then it will use the order/rules mentioned above for picking the configuration. You can also ask the bootstrap API to return the available PipelineConfigurations with get_pipeline_configurations() .

Oh cool, I need to start using this. Currently doing the whole manual dance of sg.find("PipelineConfiguration", [["project"...]], then adding the path to sys.path and loading sgtk :blush: In fact, we already have some small abstractions for this, so deleting code would be awesome!

I recently released a guide on bootstrapping as well, which might be helpful. [image] Two new guides now available! Pipeline Integrations Just to let everyone know, we released two new guides, aimed at helping people get started with the Toolkit API. Generating a path an…

Just a headsup on this. I recently had an odd situation whereby when I opened Publisher2 it used a different pipeline config in the background worker thread to the one I was using at the time. The odd thing being that the config it chose actually had a user-restriction applied that should have cause…

Hey @Patrick , I can take a look, I think the ticket you are referring to is the one around sgtk_from_path. This is not using bootstrap API, so the rules there are different. sgtk_from_path with distributed configs doesn’t make as much sense and we tend to avoid it, it’s more useful for centralized…

When Toolkit bootstraps, what order is used to determine the correct PipelineConfiguration entity?
