Question

I am trying to create an asset using the shopify python library but I’m getting a ResourceNotFound exception. The following is a snippet of my code.

asset = shopify.Asset(dict(key=self.key, theme_id=theme_id))
asset.attach(image.read())
asset.save()

Here’s the stacktrace of the exception

Traceback:

Exception Type: ResourceNotFound at /galleries/upload/
Exception Value: Not Found: https://sawayn-and-sons9677.myshopify.com/admin/themes/3422503/assets.xml

any ideas on why this is happening?

Answer 1

I found your request in our logs, and noticed that the key you are using is “14e2ccbe-601e-4bd8-bb61-726c221b53cf-6..png”.

Assets need to be in a suitable directory.

• Liquid templates => “templates/”
• Liquid layouts => “layout/”
• Liquid snippets => “snippets/”
• Theme settings => “config/”
• General assets => “assets/”
• etc

In your case you probably want key = "assets/14e2ccbe-601e-4bd8-bb61-726c221b53cf-6.png"

Sorry about the unhelpfulness of the error message. The 404 was referring to the key’s directory not being found.
