Hi,
I wanted to try rendering a Draft job locally by using deadlinecommand RenderJob, but I always get an error like this:
Error: Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Users\erik\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline6\slave\RenderJob_Temp\jobsData\545460b3633361157cd76b87\JPG.py’. (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException)
Am I using this correctly by writing something like deadlinecommand RenderJob C:\path\to\job_file.job C:\path\to\plugin_file.job C:\path\to\DraftFile.py ?
Here is the description from the help command:
RenderJob Renders a job immediately on the local machine without submitting it to the repository.
[JobInfoFile] The job info file
[PluginInfoFile] The plugin info file
[Auxiliary Files (optiona] Additional files to submit with the job (specify each file as a separate argument)
So we think that part of the key is that you should have absolute paths to scene in the submission files Also, I would look at working directory in draftfile.py, If you are unsure what you are looking for, you can post or email us your submission files including the draft file.
Sorry, the error message should actually say:
Error: Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Users\erik\AppData\Local\Thinkbox\Deadline6\slave\RenderJob_Temp\jobsData\545460b3633361157cd76b87\DraftFile.py’. (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException)
instead of JPG.py
I’m using absolute paths. I’m using C:\path\to\DraftFile.py as my auxiliary file which is also my main Draft file. But Deadline is trying to read DraftFile.py from a temp path which doesn’t exist. It doesn’t even get to the point of executing the Draft script because it can’t find it. It’s a Draft script that works if submitted to the farm normally, but fails if I use the RenderJob command.
