TankInitError: You are loading the Toolkit platform from the pipeline configuration located in
Use Case
When running some code to publish files from an app, there are times the files belong to a different project.
Is it possible to get around the TankInitError: You are loading the Toolkit platform from the pipeline configuration located in error?
Ideally, it’s possible to find the context from the path to properly register these files (even if they belong in a different project).
How to fix
Use the following function:
def get_sgtk(proj_name, script_name):
""" Load sgtk path and import module
If sgtk was previously loaded, replace include paths and reimport
"""
project_path = get_proj_tank_dir(proj_name)
sys.path.insert(1, project_path)
sys.path.insert(1, os.path.join(
project_path,
"install", "core", "python"
))
# unload old core
for mod in filter(lambda m: m.startswith("sgtk") or m.startswith("tank"), sys.modules):
sys.modules.pop(mod)
del mod
if "TANK_CURRENT_PC" in os.environ:
del os.environ["TANK_CURRENT_PC"]
import sgtk
setup_sgtk_auth(sgtk, script_name)
return sgtk
The key is deleting all sgtk-related modules from sys.modules and removing TANK_CURRENT_PC from the environment. This is outlined in How can I load different Toolkit Core modules using the shotgunEvent daemon?
