Hello, unfortunately I have spoken too soon regarding my problem with UTF-8 and Deadline (further down).
But this one is in a different place.
Before I thought deadline would not clear the dependency for “Required Assets” correctly with UTF-8 Characters inside file strings, I was wrong, it does that well.
Yet when I submit a Job via deadlinecommand.exe and use a text file with arguments (like in the " Long Command Lines" article in the documentation), the job submits correctly with no errors or warnings with a lot of auxiliary files defined in that text file.
Now when the slaves pick up the jobs, it throws an error saying:
=======================================================
Error
An error occurred while synchronizing the job’s auxiliary files: Unable to locate the following auxiliary file(s):
stone_c olöür_174 - Copy.jpg (System.IO.FileNotFoundException)And yes that filename is “correct” like that. I’ve made it like that to test non- UTF-8 characters, and yes the spaces in between are intentional.
The file is located at:
Z:\farmdir\fridayvfx\assetpool\stone_c olöür_174 - Copy.jpgand the “args.txt” file states that exact path. It can also be found via windows explorer (CTRL+R + paste filepath and name + enter) will open the file in a picture viewer under windows.
is this a bug? Can you reproduce that behaviour? I’m using the V-Ray standalone plugin for the job.
Thank you
