We have some .nk files that render fine in the Nuke GUI, but crash Nuke on the farm with the following dialog. Funnily enough the frames actually complete.
Copy/Pasting the Dialog, produces this text:
So I tried the following popup handler, but it is having no effect.
When this error pops up, does Deadline detect it and fail the render? If it does, it will dump the contents of the popup in the job’s error report. If this is the case, please post the error report and we’ll take a look.
If Deadline doesn’t do anything with the popup (and the render essentially hangs), that means that Deadline isn’t detecting the popup in the first place, which unfortunately means there is no way of handling it. If you are able to post a .nk file that reproduces the problem reliably, we can try to reproduce here and figure out why Deadline isn’t detecting it.
Occasionally, I see that message about deadlineslave.exe. It happens usually if the repository becomes unavailable. I was waiting to take a screen capture before posting it. But this thread reminded me about it. Either way, if you can get windows detect these events, or maybe disable the dialog in when you create the process, it would fix the issue hopefully.
