I am a new pipeline TD trying to set up a pipeline for a VFX workflow, mainly using Nuke X, Nuke Studio, Hiero, Maya and Flow Production Tracking. I have a pipeline set up for a test project in Flow Production Tracking and it seems to be working smoothly. Now, I want to test the pipeline with a new project but when I open the Flow Production Tracking desktop app and open the new project I am not able to open Nuke X or any of the other DCC applications. I am not sure how I can take my existing pipeline and use it for new projects. Does anyone know how I can use the existing one in this new test and other future projects? Also if anyone has any resources or tips for a beginner pipeline TD I would appreciate a great deal.
PD: In my TEST_TVSHOW project it seems to be working as this is where I first set up the pipeline and ran all my tests. In this new TestProject2 I can open some apps but still not all of them, and in another project I cant open anything. In most of the other projects in my Flow Production Tracking page I can only “Publish” but not open any of the DCC apps.
In my TEST_TVSHOW project I set it up to handle exports from Nuke Studio and publishing from Nuke X to Shotgrid. In the new TestProject2 I basically copied the folder with the pipeline configuration of TEST_TVSHOW on my drive and named the copy TestProject2. Then in the shorgrid pipeline configuration page I added the path to the TestProject2 directory. Before doing this I could only see the “publish” option in the desktop app. Now I can at least launch Hiero and other DCCs but still not Nuke and Nuke Studio. I’m not sure if my explanation was clear enough but is this approach correct?
Did you actually kill the task, closing the sg-desktop app with the close button on the top right just minimises it.
Can you share your console log, with and without debug logging enabled.
Yes, the app_locations.yml.
No, I closed it by clicking the lower right corner and quiting the desktop app.
Sadly I cannot share .yml files on this platform as it is not supported but I’d be happy to get in touch if you have some free time to clear this up as I am trying to get this pipeline up and running ASAP. Thank you for the help either way
