Hi all,
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Qube designated "failed" job, when the rendered frame produced is actually correct.
I'm using the new 5.1-1 maya jobtype, and have modified the execute.pm & UniversalMayaRenderJob.pm to do some custom things (in the former case it's things like setting environment variables in Windows, the latter case it's executing some mel code to do things like changing filepaths from mapped to UNC etc.).
When I look at the stderr & stdout information about why the frame is considered failed I notice the following:
STDERR:
INFO: rendering layer [CHA_C_REX] using renderer [mentalRay]
if(size(`ls mentalrayGlobals`)) { setAttr mentalrayGlobals.renderVerbosity 5; }
mayaBatchRenderProcedure(0, "", "CHA_C_REX", "mentalRay", "-v 5 -lic ns"); system ("C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl.exe -e \"sleep 1\"");
ls.renderVerbosity 5; }
mayaBatchRenderProcedure(0, "", "CHA_C_REX", "mentalRay", "-v 5 -lic ns"); system ("C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl.exe -e \"sleep 1\"");

From reading the docs I thought that Qube ignored error checking by default, and I know that the new 5.1-1 job type has better error handling, but I wondered if there is a way to turn error checking off completely? Maya/mentalray bark back so many non-fatal error messages, and I wonder if something in the 5.1 or 5.1-1 maya jobtypes is getting tripped up by one of those messages (both jobtypes fail for me).
I can send the full log directory for the failed job (with .sts, .err, .out, etc.) if you'd like to see it.
Cheers,
