RepositoryUtils is not defined

Deadline
#1

Hi there:

Hope you are doing well. I am getting the following error in running a post job script

error:- name ‘RepositoryUtils’ is not defined

I do have these modules loaded
from Deadline.Events import *
from Deadline.Scripting import *
from Deadline.Jobs import *
from Deadline.Statistics import *

Post job script “/prod/nomad-new/prod_tools/linux/ubuntu/utility/deadline10_3/PrePostJobScripts/mp4creation.py”: name ‘RepositoryUtils’ is not defined (FranticX.Scripting.PythonNetException)
File “/prod/nomad-new/prod_tools/linux/ubuntu/utility/deadline10_3/PrePostJobScripts/mp4creation.py”, line 68, in main

Replace your * imports with explicit imports.

So this line:

from Deadline.Scripting import *

would become:

from Deadline.Scripting import RepositoryUtils

Hello,

Top of my GlobalJobPreload.py:

import sys
from Deadline.Scripting import RepositoryUtils

this definitely feels like a bug, code just fails to run with this issue:

GlobalJobPreLoad.py': name 'RepositoryUtils' is not defined (FranticX.Scripting.PythonNetException)

Deadline Client Version: 10.3.2.1 Release (1a66fe40f)
FranticX Client Version: 2.4.0.0 Release (49c26d0d8)
Repository Version: 10.3.2.1 (1a66fe40f)

Huh that’s weird. One possibility is that a dependency of RepositoryUtils cannot be loaded, causing the failure. Could you check your PYTHONPATH? Maybe the path to some of the .Net libraries is missing?

We do use the same Repository and Client versions without issue.

#5

Where do the Deadline.Scripting libraries live?

#6

Not completely sure, but I think they are compiled into dpython.exe.

#7

I checked but nothing is overwriting the pythonpath as far as I can see.

#8

Testing on my 10.3.2.1. setup using this GlobalJobPreLoad.py:

import sys
from Deadline.Scripting import RepositoryUtils

def __main__(deadlinePlugin):
    print("Your GlobalJobPreLoad.py is being run!")

and I get this in my Worker log (including all of the Start Job step):

Maybe dump your environment in the script before the imports are run? Maybe something is shadowing the ‘Deadline.Scripting’ namespace that doesn’t have RepositoryUtils?
