Deadline Ftrack Submission - Task list makes no sense

[rcmFilm]

Hi there,

 

i updated Ftrack local install to the current relaese (4.7.2)and Deadline also to 10.1.17.4. When i want to submit for instance an nuke job that publishes a new version to ftrack, i get internal IDs as selection list and not the task names, please have a look at the Screenshot. I guess Thinkbox did something wrong with the API but i hope someone could help me on this.

 

Thanks,

Andy

I found out the following, Deadline gathers the list of tasks assigned to current user and if they have the same name like "Animation" it adds the taskkey/ID to stay unique.

 

As we never used Deadline to Ftrack i am not sure how this should look like normally. If i remember an older version right, there was the hierarchy present int the task selection list like:

 

"Shot_1/Animation"
"Shot_2/Lighting" 

 

and so on ?

I altered the deadline scripts and now get the tasklist how i would it expect to work:

Oh great.  glad you were able to solve it.  Out of curiosity how did the script end up looking?  which part did you change?  Thanks again for posting your solution you found!

The code i changed:

deadline repo: \submission\FTrack\Main

FTrackAPI.py

Only my addition:

class FTrackTask( FTrack ):

    def __init__( self, task ):
        super( FTrackTask, self ).__init__( rawObject=task )
        self._id = None
        self._name = None
        self._description = None
        self._status = None
        self._project = None
        self._parent = None
        self._assets = None

	###Added by me

        self._parentName = None 

    @property
    def parentName( self ):
        if self._parentName == None:
            self._parentName = self.raw['parent']['name']
            
        return self._parentName

    ### END of EDIT, leave the rest as it is

FTrackUI.py

 def updateTasks( self, taskList ):
        #ignore None value
        if taskList != None:
            #update cache
            selectedProjKey = self.GetValue( "ProjectBox" )
            self.cachedTasks[ selectedProjKey ] = taskList

            newTaskDict = {}

            foundDefault = False
            for task in taskList:
                pathNames = [task.name]

                taskKey = " / ".join( pathNames )

                ### MY EDIT

                taskKey += " [shot: %s]" % task.parentName

                if taskKey in newTaskDict:
                    #already a task with this name, append the key to stay unique
                    taskKey += " [shot: %s]" % task.parentName

###EDIT END
