WAAPI - Get project dirty state not working

Question

This:

_project_is_dirty = client.call("ak.wwise.core.object.get", {"from": {"ofType": ["Project"]},
                                "options": {"return": ["workunit:isDirty"]}})["return"][0]["workunit:isDirty"]

Returns alwasy False, even if the project has suffered moidifications. I am on Wwise 2019.2.1 if that matters.

Is this possibly a bug?

Answer 1

This would only check for the dirty flag on the project object (it would be true if you modify project settings for example). You also need to check for the dirty flags on all work units.

Here is how:

objects = client.call("ak.wwise.core.object.get", {"from": {"ofType": ["Project", "WorkUnit"]},
                                "options": {"return": ["workunit:isDirty"]}})["return"]

_project_is_dirty = any(map(lambda x:x["workunit:isDirty"],objects))
pprint.pprint(_project_is_dirty)

Thx Bernard! Didnt quite get the dirty project concept.
