Nuke Submitter no longer submits Selected Livegroups?

Deadline
1

I’ve written some pipeline tools around Nuke live groups, but unfortunately as of recently the supplied Nuke submitter no longer will submit selected LiveGroup to render and returns a ‘no write nodes selected’ error.

In the past Deadline would submit a selected Livegroup and would render the corresponding enclosed write node without problem.

I poked around and found the list of accepted nodes to submit, and saw that the script does not include LiveGroups. I haven’t tried modifying yet to see if it works.

Is this the intended behavior? If not, will there be a fix? If so, what would be the least invasive and easiest to maintain approach to getting Deadline to behave as anticipated? I was hoping I could do a method override and just append, but I don’t think that’s possible (or at least I’m not aware of how to with functions)

I resolved this issue by editing the following in SubmitNukeToDeadline.py:

1753: elif isinstance(startNode, (nuke.Group, nuke.LiveGroup)):
1767: elif isinstance(startNode, (nuke.Group, nuke.LiveGroup)):
2168: if not filename or node.Class() == “LiveGroup”:

I also modified IsNodeOrParentNodeSelected(). This may not have been needed, but did not test without:

2575: parentNode = node.parent()
2576: if parentNode and parentNode != nuke.Root():

These changes essentially treat Livegroups similarly to ordinary groups.
