blender-3.4.1

import bpy

objs = [obj.name for obj in bpy.data.objects if obj.visible_get()]


print(objs)


active_object = bpy.data.objects["Cube"]
selected_objects = [
    active_object, 
    bpy.data.objects["Cube.001"]
    ]

with bpy.context.temp_override(active_object=active_object, selected_objects=selected_objects):
    bpy.ops.object.join()

output:

['Cube', 'Cube.001']
Warning: Active object is not a selected mesh

What did i do wrong?

    it should be selected_editable_objects, not selected_objects see https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/248274/a-comprehensive-list-of-operator-overrides – Gorgious Apr 15 '23 at 17:12

Simply assigning the selected objects to variable selected_objects doesn't mean you can join them. They have to be actually selected for bpy.ops.object.join() to work. Here's the script that will work:

import bpy

objs = [obj.name for obj in bpy.data.objects if obj.visible_get()]


print(objs)


active_object = bpy.data.objects["Cube"]
selected_objects = [
    active_object, 
    bpy.data.objects["Cube.001"]
]


with bpy.context.temp_override(active_object=active_object, selected_objects=selected_objects):
    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
    for obj in selected_objects:
        obj.select_set(True)
    bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = active_object
    bpy.ops.object.join()

  • But why is a temp_override function needed? It also works without : with bpy.context.temp_override(active_object=active_object, selected_objects=selected_objects): – X Y Apr 15 '23 at 16:10
  • ah forgot to test it without. well even better if it works without. please edit and remove hehe – Harry McKenzie Apr 15 '23 at 16:12
  • @XY found out from Gorgious its faster to use with but it should be selected_editable_objects https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/275070/142292 – Harry McKenzie Apr 16 '23 at 07:55
