Submit Deadline job

[tyFlow]

Here is the script tyFlow uses to find Deadline. Perhaps it can help you debug your situation:

Code:

fn tf_waitForCommandToComplete params timeOutInSec outputFile exitCodeFile =
(
    local result = -2
    
    BinDir = systemTools.getEnvVariable( "DEADLINE_PATH" ) + "\\" --we grab the path to the binaries from the Windows Env. variable introduced in Deadline 7    
    DeadlineExec = BinDir + "deadlinecommand.exe" --this is the deadlinecommand that returns results in memory
    DeadlineBGExec = BinDir + "deadlinecommandbg.exe" --this one writes the results to files on disk
    
    ShellLaunch DeadlineBGExec (" -outputfiles \""+outputFile+"\" \""+exitCodeFile+"\" " + params)
        
    local startTimeStamp = timestamp()
    local ready = false
    while not ready do
    (
        sleep 0.15
        
        if doesFileExist exitCodeFile do
        (
            local theFile = openFile exitCodeFile
            try(result = readValue theFile)catch(result = -2)
            try(close theFile)catch()
            ready = true
        )    
        if timestamp() - startTimeStamp > timeOutInSec*1000 then
        (
            result = -3
            ready = true
        )    
    )            

    return case result of
    (
        0: #success
        (-1): #failed
        (-2): #readerror
        (-3): #timeout
    )    
)
        
fn getDeadlineNetworkRoot =
(
    try
    (
        local submitOutputFile = sysInfo.tempdir + "submitOutput.txt"
        local submitExitCodeFile = sysInfo.tempdir + "submitExitCode.txt"
        
        deleteFile submitOutputFile
        deleteFile submitExitCodeFile
        
        local result = tf_waitForCommandToComplete "-getrepositoryroot" 10 submitOutputFile submitExitCodeFile
        
        if result == #success then
        (
            local resultFile = OpenFile submitOutputFile
            local resultMsg = ""
            if (resultFile != undefined) do
            (
                try(resultMsg = readLine resultFile)catch()
                try(close resultFile)catch()
            )
        
            return resultMsg
        )
    ) catch()
    undefined    
)
