Heya,
I’m still very new to Deadline and i’m having some issues getting my head around a few topics but my main one at the moment is file/scene file uploading.
When i submit a python script job using Monitor, it will take my py file and upload it to the worker and fix the pathing. I’ve also learnt the standalone python api doesn’t handle uploads either.
I’m looking to use DeadlineCommand to script and do job submissions but it doesn’t seem to behave the same way as job submissions do using the Monitor application, with the main one being it doesn’t correct the py file path that it transferred to the worker.
I tried to look at the .job file that Monitor creates for each job but it doesn’t even contain file paths in them and unsure how it’s having the python script execute as there’s no mention of the path in the job.
I would also look to do this for submitting Houdini jobs where i pass the hip file as an aux so i’m hoping if i can get it to work with the py file that i can get it to work with Houdini.
