Migration notes

Note

Migrating from the old ftrack API? Read the dedicated guide.

Migrate to 2.0.0

Default behavior for connecting to event hub

The default behavior for the ftrack_api.Session class has changed for the argument auto_connect_event_hub, the default value has switched from True to False. In order for code relying on the event hub to continue functioning as expected you must modify your code to explicitly set the argument to True or that you manually call session.event_hub.connect().

Note

If you rely on the ftrack.location.component-added or ftrack.location.component-removed events to further process created or deleted components remember that your session must be connected to the event hub for the events to be published.

Migrate to 1.0.3

Mutating custom attribute dictionary

Custom attributes can no longer be set by mutating entire dictionary:

# This will result in an error.
task['custom_attributes'] = dict(foo='baz', bar=2)
session.commit()

Instead the individual values should be changed:

# This works better.
task['custom_attributes']['foo'] = 'baz'
task['custom_attributes']['bar'] = 2
session.commit()

Migrate to 1.0.0

Chunked accessor transfers

Data transfers between accessors is now buffered using smaller chunks instead of all data at the same time. Included accessor file representations such as ftrack_api.data.File and ftrack_api.accessor.server.ServerFile are built to handle that. If you have written your own accessor and file representation you may have to update it to support multiple reads using the limit parameter and multiple writes.

Migrate to 0.2.0

New API name

In this release the API has been renamed from ftrack to ftrack_api. This is to allow both the old and new API to co-exist in the same environment without confusion.

As such, any scripts using this new API need to be updated to import ftrack_api instead of ftrack. For example:

Previously:

import ftrack
import ftrack.formatter
...

Now:

import ftrack_api
import ftrack_api.formatter
...
