VrayDeadline submission failed when Lightmix is present

[gagui]

Hello.

I'm getting a "Submission failed!" error when I submit a job through VrayDeadline and my RE has a Vray LightMix connected.
If I disconnect the lightMix RE it submits ok.

Houdini 19.0.531 and Vray 21708 nightly on Windows 11

I get the same issue.

Any info on this?

I've checked last nightly but it is not yet fixed.

Thanks!

Hey Gosho, any info on this?

Hey gagui ,

Apologies again ... I checked and indeed, the problem is reproducible on our end too. Sadly, it's very hard for me to figure out what is causing this since there's no error output generated.

This is probably a good time to ask this question - is there a particular reason that you are using the V-Ray Deadline submitter instead of the one shipped by ThinkBox? We added our node to patch things up until Thinkbox can do the V-Ray support on their end. I've just checked with Deadline 10.1.20.3 - the Houdini Submitter plugin supports V-Ray, both for VRScene Export&Render, and for direct rendering.
The reason I'm asking is that we've been thinking of deprecating our node and hiding in from the UI. It would naturally make more sense to leave the Deadline support to the folk that develop it and know it in and out.

Best regards!
