    …that way, the new template file is only a couple of lines long and changes with the original due to the inheritance.

    Hello Leonardo,

    thanks for your reply. The way with the multiple templates is what I ended up doing. To make it as simple as possible (for anyone interested), I derived the new templates with different license restrictions from the base template class, so it inherits everything. The only thing I do* then is to call setMaximumLicenses in the __init__() of the template (after a super() call, of course).

    Works great.

    * Of course, there are other things to do, like assign a different template name and ID to it, and set a different license group (depending on if the different versions have the same license group or not.

    Hello thomass,

    thanks a lot for your reply. Sounds solid. I will use this approach next time I work on the templates.

    Hello nezus,

    thanks for you answer. I use Eclipse with the PyDev plugin, which makes it a pretty strong IDE for python development, so I’m pretty sure the python code is ok as is, except from API errors that were in the default templates already. Maybe I’ll try to start with a clean template from scratch and see if I can get it to work then.

    Also no sucess on my side with the Python output… :/

    Strange thing is, “Confirm changes” does not seem to work for me, I need to soft restart the render nodes to make them update and use the new template…

    I made some progress, but I still can’t get it to work. No debug messages, no onCheckLog..

    In Dispatcher Preferences > Logs and exit codes, I enabled Logs warnings > Enable Check and Logs errors > Enable check, and under Logs I set Redirect templates python output to: Logs.

    To debug the templates, I used python’s print() as well as the following snippet to try to debug my templates, though still I can’t see any output.

    Code:
    def write_log(self, msg):
    try:
    import MDispatcherAPI
    MDispatcherAPI.logAddMessage(msg)
    except:
    pass

    Hi nezus,

    seems like I’m having kind of the same problems:

    http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?28,7335
    http://www.vvertex.com/forum/read.php?28,7336

    Did you make any progress in your original problems,
    – debugging/printing from template
    – onBuildEnvironment not called
    – what is neccesary to push templates to all nodes
    ?

    Thanks & kind regards,
    claus

    Hello,

    I had the same issue. Some of the environment vars are unicode strings. I didn’t really investigate in this issue, but a quick fix is to insert this code on line 880, right before the

    Code:
    subprocess.Popen(…)

    call:

    Code:
    import unicodedata
    for key, val in environment.items():
    if type(val) != type( “” ):
    environment[key] = unicodedata.normalize(‘NFKD’, val).encode(‘ascii’,’ignore’)

    # p = subprocess.Popen(…)

    this converts all unicode strings in the environment dict to default ascii strings, all warnings omitted. problem is of course that this might potentially break environment vars contiainint non-ascii characters.
