Houdini, 19.5 FailRenderException : Error: Caught exception: The attempted operation failed

Deadline
#1

I’m getting this error currently while testing my setup.

The job will eventually complete, but not without throwing this error a random number of times.

FailRenderException : Error: Caught exception: The attempted operation failed.

It’s hard to say, our error handling tends to cut off the text of the error in cases like these.

Could you use the guide to isolate Houdini renders to run this away from our error handling?

That should let us see what operation is failing, thanks!

I ended up solving it by forcing everything into the project directory. Even though every path was resolving correctly when it was remapped. Working now!

we were getting lots of these hidden errors and it was making it very painful to have to run locally to figure out what was going on. I ended up commenting out these lines in the Houdini plugin and now it’s working wonderfully:

        self.AddStdoutHandlerCallback( "(Error: .*)" ).HandleCallback += self.HandleStdoutError
        self.AddStdoutHandlerCallback(r"(ERROR\s*\|.*)").HandleCallback += self.HandleStdoutError #Arnold errors
        self.AddStdoutHandlerCallback(r"\[Error\].*").HandleCallback += self.HandleStdoutError

I can see the actual errors in the monitor! I think that Hython is already returning non-zero exit codes when it errors out so I don’t think those regexes are important but I will report back if this bugs us again, for now I way rather get the error logs than non catched errors!
