CAN_HAVE_CHILDREN : This thing can contain other things (a folder-like thing)

property name
omni.client.add_bookmark(name: str, url: str) None

Add a bookmark.

omni.client.add_default_search_path(search_path: str) None

Add a default search path to the list of search paths used by resolve

New default search paths are added to the top of the stack (meaning they will match before older default search paths), but all default search paths are underneath the search_paths explicitly provided to resolve.

If this search_path is already in the list, it is moved to the top

omni.client.add_user_to_group(url: str, user: str, group: str) omni.client.Result

omni.client.authentication_cancel(auth_handle: int) None

Cancel an authentication attempt.

This should be called in response to a user clicking the “Cancel” button in an authentication message box.

Parameters

auth_handle – The parameter passed to a callback registered with set_authentication_message_box_callback.

omni.client.break_url(url: str) omni.client.Url

Break a URL into components. This behaves similarly to omni.client.break_url_reference() except it assumes the URL is either a full URL (which starts with a scheme:) or is a raw local file path (such as “C:path” on Windows or “/path” on Linux). This affects how it handles special characters such as : % ? and #. If is_raw on the returned object is True, the URL was determined to be a raw local file path, and only the ‘path’ value is set.

omni.client.break_url_reference(url: str) omni.client.Url

Break a URL into components. This should be used instead of omni.client.break_url() if you have a URL such as ‘/path?query#fragment’ which could be interpreted as a local file path.

omni.client.close_cached_file(handle: omni.client.Request) None

Close a file handle that was opened with open_cached_file. This allows it to be garbage collected.

omni.client.combine_urls(base_url: str, other_url: str) str

omni.client.combine_with_base_url(other_url: str) str

This calls omni.client.combine_urls() with the URL on top of the base url stack.

It will fail with Result.ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS if the item at ‘dst_url’ already exists and ‘behavior’ is CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS. It will also fail with Result.ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS if the item at ‘dst_url’ exists but is not a file and ‘behavior’ is CopyBehavior.OVERWRITE.

Destination folders will be created as needed.

Args:

src_url: Source url. dst_url: Destination url. callback: Callback to be called with the result. behavior: Behavior if the destination exists (CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS or CopyBehavior.OVERWRITE). message: Message to apply to atomic checkpoint of destination url.

Recursively copy a folder from src_url to dst_url.

This operation will fail with Result.ERROR_WRONG_TYPE if the item at ‘src_url’ is not a folder. It will fail with Result.ERROR_NOT_FOUND if the item at ‘src_url’ does not exist. It will fail with Result.ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS if the item at ‘dst_url’ already exists and ‘behavior’ is CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS.

Copy a thing from src_url to dst_url.

This is equivalent to first checking the type of the item at ‘src_url’ and then copying it as either a file or a folder. The copy is done server-side if both ‘src_url’ and ‘dst_url’ are on the same server. Otherwise, it is downloaded from ‘src_url’ and then uploaded to ‘dst_url’.

Destination folders will be created as needed.

omni.client.move_folder_with_callback(src_url: str, dst_url: str, callback: Callable[[omni.client.Result, bool], None], behavior: omni.client.CopyBehavior = <CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS: 0>, message: str = None) omni.client.Request

Recursively move a folder from src_url to dst_url.

This operation fails with Result.ERROR_WRONG_TYPE if ‘src_url’ is not a folder, with Result.ERROR_NOT_FOUND if ‘src_url’ doesn’t exist, and with Result.ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS if ‘dst_url’ already exists and ‘behavior’ is CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS, or if ‘dst_url’ exists but is not a folder and ‘behavior’ is CopyBehavior.OVERWRITE.

The move is done server-side if both ‘src_url’ and ‘dst_url’ are on the same server. Otherwise, it is first copied, then deleted from ‘src_url’. Note: It is possible for the copy to succeed and the delete to fail.

Destination folders will be created as needed. Trailing slashes are ignored.

Args:

src_url: Source url. dst_url: Destination url. callback: Callback to be called with the result. behavior: Behavior if the destination exists (CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS or CopyBehavior.OVERWRITE). message: Message to apply to atomic checkpoint of destination url.

Returns:

Request object.

omni.client.move_with_callback(src_url: str, dst_url: str, callback: Callable[[omni.client.Result, bool], None], behavior: omni.client.CopyBehavior = <CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS: 0>, message: str = None) omni.client.Request

Move a thing from src_url to dst_url.

This is equivalent to first checking the type of the item at ‘src_url’ and then moving it as either a file or a folder. The move is done server-side if both ‘src_url’ and ‘dst_url’ are on the same server. Otherwise, it is first copied from ‘src_url’ to ‘dst_url’, then deleted from ‘src_url’.

Note: It is possible for the copy to succeed and the delete to fail, resulting in an error code but with ‘copied’ being true. If the result is ‘Ok’ but ‘copied’ is false, the move was done entirely on the server, and no local copy was made.

Destination folders will be created as needed.

Args:

src_url: Source url. dst_url: Destination url. callback: Callback to be called with the result. behavior: Behavior if the destination exists (CopyBehavior.ERROR_IF_EXISTS or CopyBehavior.OVERWRITE). message: Message to apply to atomic checkpoint of destination url.

Returns:

Request object.

omni.client.set_authentication_message_box_callback(callback: Callable[[bool, str, int], None]) None

Set an authentication message box callback.

The callback is called when authentication requires opening a web browser to complete sign-in.

The intention is the application should show a dialog box letting the user know that a browser window has opened and to complete signing in using the web browser.

The callback receives:
  1. A bool indicating if the dialog should be shown (true) or hidden (false)

  2. A string indicating the host name that the authentication is for

  3. An integer handle that can be passed to “authentication_cancel”

You should provide a “Cancel” button and call cancel_authentication if the user presses it.

You should call this function with “None” as the callback prior to shutting down in order to

free memory that was allocated to store the callback.

Note that signing in to multiple servers simultaneously is allowed, so you may receive multiple callbacks with “show” set to true before receiving them with “show” set to false. You can use the third parameter to track show/hide pairs.

Parameters

callback – Callback to be called to show an authentication dialog box.

omni.client.set_azure_sas_token(host: str, container: str, sasToken: str, writeConfig: bool) omni.client.Result

Set a function which is called any time the library wants to print something to the log.

def log_callback(thread, component, level, message):
    print(f"{thread} {component} {level} {message}")

omni.client.set_log_callback(log_callback)
omni.client.set_log_level(log_level: omni.client.LogLevel) None

Only print messages to the log which are at this level or higher.

omni.client.set_product_info(name: str, version: str = None, extra: str = None) None

Sets product information that’s sent to Nucleus when connecting.

If you’re already connected to a Nucleus server, this will not send the new values to the server, only on reconnect. For this reason you should set the product information prior to connecting.

This is also used in Hub to help identify which applications are running.

Parameters
  • name – The human-readable name of this product.

  • version – The version of this product (not the client library version).

  • extra – Any additional information you think would be valuable in the logs.

omni.client.set_retries(max_ms: int, base_ms: int, jitter_ms: int) tuple

Set parameters to control retry behavior

The formula for delay between retries is: delay_ms = (base_ms * count * count) + rand(0, jitter_ms * count) where “count” is the current retry count.

Retries are aborted after ‘max_ms’ time has elapsed. Set it to 0 to disable retries.

Default behavior is: max_ms = 120,000 base_ms = 100 jitter_ms = 100

Returns previous values in a tuple of (max_ms, base_ms, jitter_ms).

Parameters

url – Immediately disconnect from the server specified by this URL. Any outstanding requests will call their callbacks with OmniClientResult.ErrorConnection. Additionally, clear the saved authentication token so future requests to this server will trigger re-authentication.
