Post Job script exception: Scope 'ScriptPluginScope0' DNE

[phudson1442]

Deadline 5.1 beta 3 ( 5.1.0.45496 )
Windows 7

We have a Post Job script that executes fine on our Render nodes, but on my machine I get

=======================================================
Error Message

My machine has Visual Studio 2005/2008 installed and is definitely not as clean as our Render Nodes, but as far as I know was working fine with Deadline 4. If I get I chance, I’ll confirm that later today.

Thanks,

Hey Paul,

I think I found out why this occurs, and it’s definitely a bug. To confirm, is the only task that your workstation is processing a post job task? I think as long as the slave has processed at least one regular task, this error wouldn’t occur, which would explain why it works on your render nodes.

In any case, the source of this bug will be fixed in beta 4.

Cheers,

Yes, I confirmed your theory.

I closed Slave and restarted it. If the first job it processes is a Post Job Task, the exception occurs.
If the Slave has processed a regular task first, all is well.

Glad you tracked that one down. That exception didn’t mean a whole lot to me!
