Say for a Deadline submission I want to run an AYON addon command. What’s a decently “agnostic” way to access the local AYON on a farm client for e.g. a command line or Python job instead of hardcoding the path to a AYON console executable in the submission?
I’d like to just e.g. submit ayon addon myaddon mycli --arg1 hello --arg2 world.
Now what do I need to do so that the path for AYON are resolved? What does the submission need, etc.
I suppose the above question is for AYON Addon CLI commands, but likely the question also transfers to trigger just a Python script ayon my_script.py against the relevant production bundle.
- Do I need to set specific environment variables for the job? If so, which?
Like here, we likely need:
export USE_AYON_SERVER=1
export AYON_HEADLESS_MODE=1
export AYON_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:5000
export AYON_API_KEY=veryinsecurapikey
Is there more to it?
- How do I make it find the ayon executable path given e.g.
ayonorayon_consoleor whatever?
OpenPype (backwards compatibility)
Would that approach differ greatly for OpenPype? If so, how?
Context
The question is somewhat related to:
- Batch publishing existing workfiles
- Setting up AYON with Deadline however this does say nothing about custom submissions accessing AYON features.
