A lot of machines started popping this error: NO Backburner Path Found in system environment variable PATH
Despite the fact they do have backburner installed… An over zealous sanity check?
Hi,
Could I see the result of “set path” in a command prompt and/or the beginning of a log report where this line is printed?
I made quite a few assumptions and I might have missed an edge case?
Thanks,
Mike
On one machine that’s failing:
set path:
Path=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem;C:
\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared;C:\Python25C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Backburner;c:\blur\common;C:\Python25;;C:\Python25\Lib\site-p
ackages\PyQt4;C:\cygwin\bin
doing an env:
PATH=/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/
c/Program Files (x86)/QuickTime/QTSystem:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Autodesk Shared:/cygdrive/c/Python25C:/Program Files (x86)/Autodesk/Ba
ckburner:/cygdrive/c/blur/common:/cygdrive/c/Python25:/cygdrive/c/Python25/Lib/site-packages/PyQt4:/usr/bin
But the log in deadline says… something else!
0: INFO: Sys Env Var PATH: \s2\exchange\software\managed\Libraries\Qt\4.5.0_x64\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared;C:\cygwin\bin;;
I see there is something wrong there with a python25 env variable btw
Hey Laszlo,
Here’s an updated 3dsmax.py file that removes that sys check. We already have another check to see if backburner’s “server.exe” is in the PATH, and this just logs warnings if it can’t find it. That should be enough of a sanity check.
Cheers,
