UE5 Submitting error: min() arg is an empty sequence

Deadline

OS: Windows 11
UE: 5.2
Deadline: 10.3.1.4
urlib3 imported: yes

When I try to submit job to Deadline, getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like the job submission is failing and it’s not getting a job id back.

If you go to your Monitor on the computer you’re seeing this issue with and go to Submit-> Miscellaneous → Deadline Command. From there set the job submission up to look like this:

And when you hit submit you should see something like this:

What’s happening in your case is there isn’t a line starting with JobID= after the job has been submitted. I expect something’s going to fail in your test, and we’ll see what’s gone wrong.

Turned out the RCS server was not running, that is solved now.
