Nuke warning prevents render

anon98835399 · January 15, 2014, 7:40am

Hi all,

I get render errors on Deadline when I try to render a Nuke script which has a node in it that is licensed to my workstation.
Fair enough I’d say except that node in question is part of a tree that does not contribute to any output (the relevant Write node is disabled).
When I render the script manually via command line on a render slave I get this warning:

OF No X11 general support
Optical Flares Unable to get X11 support!
Optical Flares No License found (LICENSE PATH: /ohufx/pipeline/licenses/deploy/OpticalFlares)

But it renders, and I don’t care about the warning cause it doesn’t contribute to the output. Can I make Dealinde do the same (i.e. ignore the warning?)
As a work around I now cut the respective part of the nuke script before submitting the deadline job and making sure I submit the script with the job. Afterwards I paste it back in ans save - not very elegant.

I’m not sure if this is a beta issue or a general Dealine issue.

Cheers,
frank

Hey Frank,

Can you post the error report from the Deadline job? I’m assuming one of our stdout handlers is treating this as a fatal error and that’s why the job fails to render. The report should give us an idea of what stdout handler is responsible here, and then you can then tweak your Nuke plugin to ignore this error.

I’d be concerned about removing/tweaking the stdout handler in the public release of Deadline though, since if you had an enabled write node that needs this license, you would want it to fail. Ideally, it would be nice if that node didn’t print out these errors if is wasn’t being rendered.

Cheers,
Ryan

Below is one flavour of error (the more generic one).
I have two scenarios:
-one where the plugin is installed for the slave but not licenses
-one where the plugin is not installed at all

In both cases the node is not connected to the output. Below is the case where the plugin isn’t installed at all, the other one seems intermittent and I can’t reproduce it at the moment.

Cheers,
frank

This log is showing that Nuke is actually crashing, which will always be flagged as an error.

Can you try submitting the job again, but this time disable the Use Batch Mode option? That will just result in a command line render, and we can see what the results are.

Thanks!

hm, looks like the missing OpticalFlare node makes it crash, which it shouldn’t. Guess I can’t blame Deadline for that one

Thanks for confirming!

If you see the other problem again though where the plugin is installed but not licensed, send us the log and we’ll take a look.

Cheers,
Ryan

Actually, Deadline is still just the messenger here. Nuke is exiting before it saves any output (according to the log), and it exits with a non-zero return code which indicates there was an error. Deadline isn’t killing the render like we thought it was.

Go to the same machine that reported this error, copy the nuke script you’re trying to render to it, and then open a terminal and run this command:

"/Applications/Nuke7.0v8/Nuke7.0v8.app/Contents/MacOS/Nuke7.0v8" -V 2 --nukex -x -X "Write4" -m 2 -F 235-239 "/path/to/zoya_sh_03_comp_v04.nk"

Note that you’ll need to update the path to zoya_sh_03_comp_v04 as necessary in the command. If this actually renders, send us the log from the terminal window and we’ll compare it to the Deadline log.

Thanks!
Ryan

im_thatoneguy · January 16, 2014, 5:14pm

Ideally the OpticalFlares node wouldn’t do a lot of things that it does. We however do have it installed without it crashing even on unlicensed render nodes. We have our license files in the plugin folder on our network (in your equivalent: /ohufx/pipeline/tools/nuke/plugins/osx/7.0/OpticalFlares/) In that folder we have a folder .\Licenses\ and a file OpticalFlaresLicense_COMPUTERNAME.lic for each computer that we have licensed. If you move your licenses from your local system to the network maybe it won’t crash out?

anon98835399 · January 17, 2014, 2:49am

I put together a simple test nuke script that mimics my setup:
One Write node rendering the comp, the output of which is read back into a Read node, followed by OpticalFlares and a second Write node which is disabled.

Manually running the script on the host without a license renders fine, Deadline bails. Both logs and the nuke script attached.

Cheers,
frank

P.S.: Gavin, I have not yet tried your suggestion.

rrussell · January 17, 2014, 2:44pm

I noticed that the command line options you are using for the manual test are different from the ones that Deadline is using.

Manual command:

-V 2 --nukex -x -X "Write1" -m 2 -F 1-100 /path/to/deadlineTest.nk

Deadline:

-V 2 --nukex -x -m 4 -F 6-10 "/path/to/deadlineTest.nk"

In the manual command, you are telling Nuke to only render “Write1”, whereas the Deadline job would be rendering all write nodes. Again, Deadline is just being the messenger here, since Nuke is exiting with exit code 1 before attempting to do any actual rendering.

What happens if you use the same command line arguments that Deadline is using when doing your manual test?

Also, what happens if you submit the job to Deadline with the option to submit each write node as a separate job?

Cheers,
Ryan

anon98835399 · January 18, 2014, 2:57am

Oops, my apologies.
this is it running the whole script rather than just one node. It does throw the OF error but then renders fine:

Thanks! This explains why Deadline is failing the job, because it uses a stdout handler to match any lines that start with ERROR: and fail the render.

If you would like to tweak the Nuke plugin to ignore this error, there are 2 ways you can do it. Go to \your\repository\plugins\Nuke and open Nuke.py in a text editor.

Option 1 is to simply ignore all ERROR: lines. This can be done by commenting out this line:

self.AddStdoutHandlerCallback( ".*ERROR:.*" ).HandleCallback += self.HandleError

The problem with this approach is that it will ignore any other ERROR: lines that might be printed out in the future.

Option 2 is to add code to the HandleError function to not fail the render if it sees ERROR: lines that contain “OpticalFlares”. Find the HandleError function and change it to this:

    def HandleError( self ):
        errorMessage = self.GetRegexMatch( 0 )
        if( errorMessage.find( "OpticalFlares" ) == -1 ):
            self.deadlinePlugin.FailRender( errorMessage )

I would recommend this option, since it’s a bit more specific, but if you get legitimate OpticalFlares ERROR: messages during rendering, those will be ignored too.

Cheers,
Ryan

anon98835399 · January 20, 2014, 7:56pm

thanks Ryan. I guess ideally the OpticalFlares guys would change their output to not start with “ERROR”.
If I change the Nuke plugin, that will be undone with the next Deadline update, right?! So I will need to back it up and re-apply the changes next time?

Cheers,
frank

rrussell · January 20, 2014, 8:21pm

Unfortunately, that’s the case.

anon98835399 · January 20, 2014, 9:48pm

ok, thanks. I will do that and try and get the OF guys to update their plugin to not use “ERROR” in stdout when the node isn’t actually requested by the output

MikeOwen · January 27, 2014, 9:45am

FYI - on a completely separate forum, I noticed this post about Optical Flares on Linux this morning:

It took us quite a while to figure this out. There are different .so’s for rendering & interactive. We use this in our init.py to load the correct one dependent on whether it’s an interactive session or a render:

if not (nuke.env[“gui”]):
nuke.pluginAddPath(“VideoCopilot/OpticalFlares/RenderNode”)
else:
nuke.pluginAddPath(“VideoCopilot/OpticalFlares”)

We also have floating licenses for the interactive, but the render licenses are not floating, we handle this by setting ENV variables in our Nuke wrapper. If it’s interactive set OPTICAL_FLARES_LICENSE_SERVER_IP so that it picks up the floating license. Set OPTICAL_FLARES_PATH & put your render licenses file in there as well - if the license server IP is not set it’ll pick up one of the render licenses from the OPTICAL_FLARES_PATH.

We don’t get any errors when set up like that, but we do get warnings in the logs - “Optical Flares Unable to get X11 support!”. I guess if we set this to true - OPTICAL_FLARES_NO_GPU - we might be able to get rid of that as well.

anon98835399 · January 27, 2014, 7:30pm

interesting, thanks. I did send them a mail but haven’t heard back yet.

Hello all,

I know this thread is super old but I’m running into OF issues running on our Linux farm as well. The scenes are created in Windows but submitted via Deadline to our Linux farm.

Upon submission to Deadline I have the interactive job environment inherited with the submitted Deadline Job but I have the paths modified upon submission time to work with UNC paths on our Linux render nodes.

Optical Flares do work interactively on Windows and the plugins are accessible globally for all platforms on our file server.

####################################

In Deadline, my Job Properties environment looks like what you see below:

NUKE_PATH: /Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/global/nuke : /Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/projects/sgtk/dubaiEnha/install/app_store/tk-nuke-writenode/v1.4.2/gizmos
OPTICAL_FLARES_PATH: /Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/global/nuke/versions/11.x_v000/nuke_plugins/OpticalFlares/render/Textures-And-Presets
OPTICAL_FLARES_LICENSE_PATH: /Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/global/nuke/versions/11.x_v000/nuke_plugins/OpticalFlares/render/license
OPTICAL_FLARES_NO_GPU: true
OPTICAL_FLARES_VERBOSE_CONSOLE: true

The errors I get in Deadline are:

Error: [15:42.18] ERROR: OpticalFlares1: ‘OpticalFlares’: unknown command. This is most likely from a corrupt .nk file, or from a missing or unlicensed plug-in. Can’t render from that Node.
2019-09-05 15:42:19: 0: STDOUT: [15:42.18] ERROR: OpticalFlares1: ‘OpticalFlares’: unknown command. This is most likely from a corrupt .nk file, or from a missing or unlicensed plug-in. Can’t render from that Node.

This is a bit of the plugin structure from the path(s) mentioned above:

/Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/global/nuke/versions/11.x_v000/nuke_plugins/OpticalFlares/render/

./init.py
./license
./license/OpticalFlaresLicense.lic
./menu.py
./OpticalFlares.png
./plugin
./plugin/Linux
./plugin/Linux/OpticalFlares.so
./plugin/Mac
./plugin/Mac/OpticalFlares.dylib
./plugin/Windows
./plugin/Windows/OpticalFlares.dll

####################################

I have modified the OPTICAL_FLARES_PATH env to the following but still get the same errors

OPTICAL_FLARES_PATH: /Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/global/nuke/versions/11.x_v000/nuke_plugins/OpticalFlares/render/
OPTICAL_FLARES_PATH: /Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/global/nuke/versions/11.x_v000/nuke_plugins/OpticalFlares/render/plugin
OPTICAL_FLARES_PATH: /Volumes/Animation/pipeline/app_config/release/extensions/global/nuke/versions/11.x_v000/nuke_plugins/OpticalFlares/render/plugin/Linux

####################################

Again, this works interactively and I’m inheriting the interative environment but modifying the paths upon submission time to work with UNC paths on our Linux render nodes.

I’ve also reached out to the VideoCoPilot dev team and they can’t figure it out. :-/

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Best,

Dan
