open maya scene with "load no references"

[gnn]

Hello all,

i don't know why maya open a scene in python with this part of a script:

# open maya scene:

cmds.file( sceneNameToOpen, open=True, force=True, prompt=False ) 

# result:"D:\scenePath\SceneName.ma"

and didn't open it when i test without references and selective preload (it seems to delete slashes?!):

# open maya scene without references: 

cmds.file( sceneNameToOpen, lrd = 'none' , buildLoadSettings=True ,open=True , force=True, prompt=False )

cmds.optionVar(stringValue=('preloadRefEdTopLevelFile', sceneNameToOpen))

mel.eval('PreloadReferenceEditor;')

# Error: line 1: File not found: "D:scenePath SceneName.ma" // 

any idea is welcome :)

Whay is the value of sceneNameToOpen? Have you tried it with forward slashes?

Hello Justin,

sceneNameToOpen is a variable like this:

root = '{0}{1}\\shots\\sh{2}\\lit\\work\\maya\\' .format(SBpath,SceneEpisodeField,ScenePlanField).replace('/','\\')

...after founded the last maya scene by date, the path of the scene to open give me that:

D:\SBpath\ep000\shots\sh000\lit\work\maya\ep000_sh000_lit_000.ma

so the path is ok i think as it open it with the simple command: 

cmds.file( sceneNameToOpen, open=True, force=True, prompt=False ) 

it doesn't find the same scene if i try to open it with the option load no references....
