Custom Deadline Event - How to Use Path Translation?

anthonygelatka · February 2, 2022, 4:01pm

I’m using a custom Event running to grab certain Environment Variables (Modified this script to keep listed variables rather than ignore them)

def GetDeadlineEventListener():
    return CustomEnvironmentCopyListener()


def CleanupDeadlineEventListener(eventListener):

Is it possible to include this Event in the path mapping so the Windows Mapped Drive gets translated to linux path?

Thanks

I’m going through the docs
https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.1/1_User%20Manual/manual/event-plugins.html
https://www.awsthinkbox.com/blog/deadline-event-plugins
I found something that looks promising here
https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.1/1_User%20Manual/manual/event-plugins.html#event-callback-details

RepositoryUtils.CheckPathMapping(path)
RepositoryUtils.CheckPathMappingInFile(inFileName, outFileName)
RepositoryUtils.CheckPathMappingInFileAndReplaceSeparator(inFileName, outFileName, separatorToReplace, newSeparator)
RepositoryUtils.PathMappingRequired(path)

I’ve gone through this, stuck PyCharm and configured it with Python37 (I think this is what 10.1.20.3 uses). Now I can see all the commands and the help files

(still no idea how to implement them but will keep reading)

I added this part of the bottom of the already modified file (I wanted env var keys rather than remove them)

        for key in wantedkeys:
            self.LogInfo("Setting %s to %s" % (key, os.environ[key]))
            val = os.environ[key]
            valmapped = RepositoryUtils.CheckPathMapping(val)
            self.LogInfo("Mapped Setting %s to %s" % (key, valmapped))
            job.SetJobEnvironmentKeyValue(key, valmapped)

Seems to work on my local laptop, but testing else where throws up errors about string/str and value seperators being semicolons not commas…
