deadlinecommand -RenderJob

Hi
Version: 6.2.0.32R Osx 10.9.3
I’m trying to use deadlinecommand -RenderJob but i’m getting an error saying it can’t find the job temp files:

Error: Directory '/Users/bonsak/Library/Application Support/Thinkbox/Deadline6/slave/RenderJob_Temp/plugins/53e0ca38bd6593145a6c883d' not found.

The /Users/bonsak/Library/Application Support/Thinkbox/Deadline6/slave/RenderJob_Temp/plugins directory is empty.
Job info file looks like this:

Hey Bonsak!

It turns out that feature is broken in at least 6.1 and 6.2, but will be fixed in 7.0 when released (It’s already fixed in the code base).

I’m told it was designed as a debugging aid for troubleshooting job info file and render scripts without submitting them to the Repository. Sorry for the inconvenience here.

Were you going to use it for another purpose? Maybe I can lend a hand working around the problem.

Ok :slight_smile:
I’m using “-RenderJob” for writing scripts and plugins. Really quick way of testing stuff.

Agreed! I wish I’d remember to use it. Clearly I need to do more plugin development :slight_smile:
