Query maya scene info with references

[Utkarsh Agnihotri]

Hi, 

I am trying to query Maya scene name and path using

main_scene_file = cmds.file(q=True, sceneName=True)

But it doesn't work when there are references in the scene. Does anyone how can I fix that?

Thanks :)

That definitely should work, independent of references. How can I reproduce what you see?

Here’s what I see:

from maya import cmds

# Make an original scene to reference
cmds.polyCube()
cmds.file(rename="referenceMe.ma")
cmds.file(save=True, type="mayaAscii")

# Make a new scene, and reference the original scene
cmds.file(new=True, force=True)
cmds.file("referenceMe.ma", reference=True)
cmds.file(rename="newScene.ma")

fname = cmds.file(query=True, sceneName=True)
assert fname.endswith("newScene.ma")

I have a scene with referenced rig e.g. walk.ma. I am trying query the scene name so that I can export a fbx with same name. How ever, scenes with references are not returning anything.

what about: cmds.file(q=True, l=True)[0]?

Aha, you are trying to find the path to the referenced file? In that case, Maya maintains each reference in a node of type “reference”. You can then query various properties of this node, including the full path to the file it references.

for reference in cmds.ls(type="reference"):
    fname = cmds.referenceQuery(reference, filename=True)
    print(fname)

Hi, no, not for this one. Only file name and path.

Hm, then you've got all information.

1. You can find the path to the currently saved file

2. You can find the path to any referenced file in your scene

Is there anything else you are looking for? Can you provide a way to reproduce what you are seeing?

Yes, but I was having issue with the command. But Juan' suggestion also worked. 
Thank you for the help.☺️
