Deadline not seeing changes to event plugin

I made a small change to an event plugin in the custom folder. I just added a “LogInfo” statement. However, Deadline does not seem to see the change. I have restarted the monitor a few times. I noticed a compiled file (.pyc) in the same folder as the event plugin. The compiled file had the same name but an earlier modification date, so I removed that, which did not work. I even replaced the “LogInfo” statement with a “print” statement. Nothing.

Am I supposed to do something to “refresh” Deadline?

Okay, now I feel embarrassed. Found the answer here:

deadline.thinkboxsoftware.com/fe … nt-plugins

The trick was to use Monitor -> Tools -> Synchronize Scripts and Plugins.

Re-opening the Monitor should have triggered the refresh actually and we should dig into that a bit. Are you using a Proxy server, and also which version of Deadline?
