XSI 7.01 Error: No module named XSIToDeadline

Deadline
1

Greetings,

A new error has cropped up when trying to submit an xsi scene to deadline. As soon as i select Render->submit XSI to deadline, i get this:

ERROR : Traceback (most recent call last):

File “”, line 175, in Main

import XSIToDeadline

ImportError: No module named XSIToDeadline

- [line 174 in Q:\CG_LIBRARY\xsi_Workgroup_7\Application\Plugins\SubmitXSIToDeadline.py]

Everything was working fine yesterday, and I don’t think anything has changed form then until now. Any ideas?

What happens when you run this command from a dos prompt:

deadlinecommand -root

This is how the script figures out the repository root so it can build the path to the main submission script. It then adds this path to Python’s paths, and then imports the main script. If it’s not getting the repository root properly, that could explain the problem.

if i run "deadlinecommand -root " from just anyowhere in the prompt i get an unrecognized command. If i run it from the deadline bin folder in program files I get “\192.168.1.21\DeadlineRepository”. is there supposed to be an evironment variable pointing to th deadline path?

Thanks!
Brad

Yes, the path to the deadline bin folder (by default, this is C:\Program Files\Frantic Films\Deadline\bin) should be in your PATH environment variable.

It’s there. I added another path variable pointing to the python folder. this seemed to fix the problem. not sure why it was working yesterday though.

Thank you,
