An automation micro-framework for content

@mottosso

Has anyone used it? Would be good to hear your thoughts

Jasper van Nieuwenhuizen

@jasperges

Yes, I have used it, but only as standalone publisher. I will add my thoughts later this week to your forum post.

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Very good! Maybe there's something we could learn from

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Got a message about having had Pyblish nominated for a Pipeline Conference award, looks to be going live in about 3 days. :)

To whomever submitted Pyblish, thanks. :)

Milan Kolar

@mkolar

Beautiful...

Do you know other nominations? Don't seem to be public

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

No, they're apparently not public :/

Not sure how one is determined a winner, if not by votes

Milan Kolar

@mkolar

Shame. I was willing to go all out and involve family clan style voting ;)

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Haha!

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

An the winner iiiiis..... (drumroll).... Pyblish! xD

I'll make some more posts across the web as soon as the trophy arrives. :)

Thats amazing! Congrats everyone!

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

I held an acceptance speech too, made sure to mention and thank you guys. 600 industry folks were listening. Wouldn't have happened without you. :)

I'm having a look to see whether I'm allowed to post the ceremony; they apparently won't upload it themselves :(

Toke Jepsen

@tokejepsen

Who/What were the other candidates?

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Good question. None of that was mentioned anywhere. But I got a list of previous winners: https://www.shotgunsoftware.com/blog/category/pipeline-awards/

Amazing news and well deserved.

hey all,
I just opened this issue for pyblish-maya
pyblish/pyblish-maya#76

is this the right channel to ask more questions about it ?

also congrats for that pipeline award win !
We are only just looking to start out on using pyblish

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Yes, this is the place. I'm just looking at your issue now

Enno S

@enno.s_gitlab

Hey,
I'm looking for a functionality that allows to fix some plugin data after the validation has failed.

for example:
A top maya group node was named char01_grp.
A ValidateNaming plugin fails on that maya node/ instance and suggests to rename the node from char01_grp to char0001_GRP.

Is there a built-in way to have the user manually run an automated "fix fucntion" essentially renaming the group for them ?
(perhaps by clicking a button or a check box. similar to optional plugins ?)

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Hi there, yes there is, have a look at "actions"

Enno S

@enno.s_gitlab

awesome thanks !
I appreciate the quick response :)

while I'm having a read, may I ask;
Is there a quick way of running the same checks on several instances ?

e.G.
A selection of items that an Artists can try to fix by running their implementation of a "virtual " fix function on their failing plugins ?
(So they do not have to click on every plugin manually. Note: I am keen on having artists run this consciously on a button click instead of "just" running on a on-failed scenario automatically )

also what does the wrench icon on failed plugins in your demos mean ?

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

The wrench is pre-Actions, plug-ins could previously only have a single action applied which showed up as a wrench icon.

By the same check, do you mean the same plug-in, or the same action on several instances?

The action is given the entire context, which is just a regular Python list of all instances. So you could for instance in context: and go crazy

You can have actions appear either on failure, or all the time via the on attribute of the Action

Enno S

@enno.s_gitlab

Sorry I meant:
Is there a quick way of running the same actions on several instances ?

Imagine:

3 out of 10 plugins failed.
The artist is informed by seeing 3x red on the first validation run.
Let's assume it's due to wrong naming of nodes.
he toggles (somehow ) those 3 failed plugins and with one click is able to run all of those plugin's fix function.
Under the hood those fix functions would have totally different implementations for those different plugins respectively.
ValidateRig.fix(): ... name.replace('rigging', 'rig')...
ValidateModel.fix(): ... name.replace('model', 'mdl')...

does this make sense ?

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Yes, if you put the action on one or all of those plug-ins, then you can access all instances via the context argument to the Action.process

Alternatively you could make a dedicated plug-in to hold that special action, a a plug-in that only serves as a visual cue to the users of success or failure. It could fail based on other plug-ins success state, for example

If you want a sort of inheritance to your actions, you'll probably have to rethink your strategy; like storing relevant options to a single action in each instance, and trigger the right function based on that.

if instance.data["I'm a model"]:
  self.repair_a_model(instance)

Enno S

@enno.s_gitlab

great thanks Marcus.
that's helpful quick insight. Perhaps I give it a shot :)

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Anytime :)

Aleks Berland

@karmakat

Heya :)

I have a pyblish collector plugin which creates new instances., then deletes the original instance. How do I get those instances to show up in the artist view? They are in the detail view, but not the artist view.

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Hi there, that sounds like a bug! Could you submit an example of how to reproduce this under pyblish-lite?

Aleks Berland

@karmakat

Hey Marcus! I am using pype, and its flavour of pyblish-lite.
I am not sure if it will be the same if you try to reproduce, but all I am doing is collecting a file and during its collection creating new instances, copying over the original instances data to the new instance., and then removing the original instance. I am wondering if there is some metadata that gets copied over that causes this.

I can look into making a reproducible example, but it might be a little tough without running pype's standalone publisher on your side

Aleks Berland

@karmakat

add original instance data except name key

        for key, value in instance.data.items():
            if key not in ["name"]:
                # Make sure value is copy since value may be object which
                # can be shared across all new created objects
                new_instance.data[key] = copy.deepcopy(value)

this is pretty broad, perhaps there is something transferred which is causing the new instance to also be removed from the the context

at the end of the loop, i just run context.remove(instance)

but new_instance is removed from artist view as well

Aleks Berland

@karmakat

Pype team says they think its an issue in the Artistview proxy model

i am running context.remove(instance) and it does get removed completely, but the new instance is also removed from the artist view but remains in the other view

Aleks Berland

@karmakat

ok i now realize the pype pyblish lite is very different codebase... zeroing in on the bug but I thank you for your help :)
