Hi, so I’ve written a simple code that does some things in a Maya scene. I want to complete my code by submitting a render from Maya to Deadline for Quality control, but hard code it in the code.
Every time I submit my job I get the “Error: Required job info key “Plugin” not found (Deadline.Submission.DeadlineSubmissionException)” error.
Now, I am lost here because I cannot find what the problem is. I’ve looke here but all I can find is that the Plugin key is required, and everything else is optional. The code I’m using as far as I can tell, definitely has that key specified.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
