I am trying to disable all collections in the render with python in Blender 2.8

It works on top-level collections with the code below, but ignores nested collections.

import bpy

coll = bpy.context.view_layer.layer_collection

for x in bpy.context.view_layer.layer_collection.collection.children:

        x.hide_render = True

Is there a way to get all collections, regardless of hierarchy?

  Welcome to Blender.se. Thank you for your question, be aware, that the 2.8 api is still under development, although I'd think, that collection access won't change anytime soon.

Access to Blender's internal data is achieved through bpy.data. This is usually also easier to maintain, since context access (bpy.context) is context-dependent.

Access all collections through:

bpy.data.collections

Render-restricting all collections:

import bpy



coll = bpy.data.collections



for c in coll:

    c.hide_render=True
