Env variable in plugin path

Deadline

Hello,
Is it possible to use an env variable in the plugin path ?
I’ve tried:
${INSTALLS}\v17\render.exe
${env:INSTALLS}\v17\render.exe
${sys:INSTALLS}\v17\render.exe
%INSTALLS%\v17\render.exe
without any success

No, but at a high level modifying those paths dynamically is something we need for things like Nuke and Houdini where the paths change regularly.

It should be possible to update the whole “Full Command” by writing some Python scripts but I’ll need to dig in to find some code examples.

Cool,
By the way I’ve tried all this on a windows box, is it the same limitations on Linux ?

It’s the same code base, so it will apply. The docs for changing the “Full Command” are in the Application Plugin section. By placing it in the “GlobalJobPreLoad.py” it will be run by all applications.

I’ll create a developer issue though for us to allow remapping now that we have a standard as set out in the path mapping code.
