Issues Importing Obj Files Into Maya

Thanks for taking a moment to read this! So, as the title of my post implies, I'm trying to import some obj files into Maya, but I get the following error message when I try running my script:

Error: line 1: TypeError: file <maya console> line 8: object of type 
'NoneType' has no len()

My script is listed below:

import maya.cmds as cmds


pathOfFiles = "/This PC/Desktop/Facial Rigging Blendshapes/"
fileType = "obj"

files = cmds.getFileList(folder=pathOfFiles, filespec='*.%s' % fileType)
if len(files) == 0:
    cmds.warning("No files found")
else:
    for f in files:
        cmds.file(pathOfFiles + f, i=True)

Thanks again for taking the time to read this! Cheers!

Solution

  • The problem lies in the path. If cmds.getFileList() get's a non existing path, it returns None, not an empty list. So I suggest to check if the directory exists or check for None result. I can reproduce your problem if use this code:

    pathOfFiles = "C:/Userss"
files = cmds.getFileList(folder=pathOfFiles)

    Where "C:/Userss" does not exist.
