file doesn't query filename in 2015/16

#1

I’m using the command file to querying the filename in Maya 2014. But it doesn’t work in 2015 or 2016.

filename = cmds.file(q=True, sn=True, shn=True, wcn=True)

I tried using pymel and it works fine.

pm.sceneName()

but, is this a bug or did something change in 2015? Or is there something wrong with the scenes I’m opening?

Is there any other way to get the file name?

pm.sceneName() and the file() command work fine here in Maya2015. I get the complete path with sceneName() and the file name part only with the file() maya command.

Sorry, I had a mistake in my pm code.

The pm.sceneName() is working fine as intended.
For some reason, the cmds.file isn’t.

I haven’t found the problem yet, but it seems to be something in the scenes files and not Maya’s version.

Until I find the problem, I guess I’ll have to stick with pymel. It works fine even with these bugged scene files.
