Detects all photos but album list is empty about immich-folder-album-creator

[LjaPb]

Everything was exactly like that, it works! Thank you;)

Nvm I figured it out. I was using the root path on the host instead of the root path for Immich. Thanks, it works really well!

I have a similar error. The point is that the script sees all photos (not limited to the specified folder). I can’t limit his search to only a specific folder. The path to the external library is correct (copied directly from the application itself)

Hi, could you please share the arguments/environment variables you're using, the log the script produces and how your folder structure within the Immich container looks like?

Of cource,

 python3 ./immich_auto_album.py root_path="/mnt/main_pool/archive/Photos/Travel/"                                     [9:17:23]

Variables api_url and api_key added in the script itself.
if I add a variable to the script
root_paths = '/mnt/main_pool/archive/Photos/Travel'
I get another error:

Ok, I think I know what's going on.
The call

 python3 ./immich_auto_album.py root_path="/mnt/main_pool/archive/Photos/Travel/" 

is not actually correct.
By default, the script expects three positional arguments in a very specific order: root_path, api_url, and api_key.
Now you say you added api_url and api_key to the script itself, that's fine. Now the script stills expect one positional argument root_path.
The option -r or --root-path is only intended to be used if you have multiple import paths or multiple external libraries the script should work with. The positional argument for root_path must always be supplied, --root-path is optional.

Since the script expects one positional argument, it interprets the whole string you provide as the root_path, meaning your root_path is currently set to root_path="/mnt/main_pool/archive/Photos/Travel/".
Adding -l DEBUG (setting log level to DEBUG) and running it again should confirm this by showing the following output:

time=2024-06-21T18:58:36.399+02:00 level=DEBUG msg=root_path = ['root_path=/mnt/main_pool/archive/Photos/Travel/']

So the correct call for a single root_path (taking your modifications into consideration) would be

 python3 ./immich_auto_album.py /mnt/main_pool/archive/Photos/Travel/

Please let me know if that fixes your issue.
