kick not finding ocio config in Azure batch with correct command

Hello,


So I am trying to get kick to render on a VM in Azure batch and I managed to get kick to start up but it fails because it can not find the ocio config even when I use the -set color_manager_ocio.config, it seems not to be able to find it. The very command works when I try it on my machine when I have a custom path but it continues to not work when I am trying it on the Azure batch VM.


This is the code that I am using on Azure batch that starts up kick successfully and then tries to read the ocio.config file. 

 

cmd /c kick DBF0001.ass -o DBF0001.png -dw -dp -set color_manager_ocio.config c\ ocio.config

 

To explain a little how I manage to get kick to start on the Azure batch VM, was to have the kick.exe and all necessary .dll files, imported as recourse files and not an application package. So this means all the files are from my understanding, located in the root directory that I believe is C:\. I have tried different commands to try and locate the ocio.config file which is located in the very same place as the kick.exe. 

 

These are the different ways to write the location of the ocio.config file I have tried when using the -set color_manager_ocio.config command when the ocio.config file is located in the same recourse file import and then in what I believe, is the same directory that, as said, I also believe is C:\.

 

-set color_manager_ocio.config ocio.config
-set color_manager_ocio.config C:\ocio.config
-set color_manager_ocio.config c:\ocio.config
-set color_manager_ocio.config /c:/ocio.config
-set color_manager_ocio.config /c:/ocio.config
-set color_manager_ocio.config c/ ocio.config
-set color_manager_ocio.config c\ ocio.config
-set color_manager_ocio.config /c\ocio.config
In the one below I have censored the full blob storage address for security reasons
-set color_manager_ocio.config https://.blob.core.windows.net/kick/config.ocio

 


This is the log of the latest failed kick rendering on Azure batch.

I don't understand this:

 ERROR   | [color_manager_ocio] could not read 'c\ ocio.config' OCIO profile.

. "c\ ocio.config" is not a valid path
You should do something like -set color_manager_ocio "C:/ocio.config"

When I try -set color_manager_ocio "C:/ocio.config" I still get this

 

00:00:00   110MB ERROR   | [color_manager_ocio] could not read 'C:/ ocio.config' OCIO profile.

 

 And in the second block of "code" in my first comment, I list all the different versions of the file path that I have tried (some that may not make sense but tried anyway to make sure) but I still get the same error message every time.

Here is the full log

From that log, Arnold is here:

D:\batch\tasks\workitems\dite_azurebatch_testjob\job-1\rendertest25\wd\

 

eg you are running this kick

D:\batch\tasks\workitems\dite_azurebatch_testjob\job-1\rendertest25\wd\bin\kick.exe

 

 

Why is /ocio/configs/arnold/config.ocio missing? What other files are missing from the Arnold distribution?

 

This should be part of the Arnold install:

D:\batch\tasks\workitems\dite_azurebatch_testjob\job-1\rendertest25\wd/ocio/configs/arnold/config.ocio

There should not be any file that should be missing. What I have done and practically only can do, is to gather all the files from the bin folder that you get from Arnold SDK and then throw in the ocio files from all subfolders the ocio folder that you get from again, Arnold SDK. I assume that there are certain files that I may have missed that should be in the same folder and the reason why every file is in the same "folder" is that the containers that you create for blob storage cannot have any subfolders. I tried to package kick as an "application package" which is a zip that you then access somehow, I did not manage to get that to work so I made this as a form of workaround. 
I have attached an image that shows all the files that are in one of the recourse folder the VM downloads, the other recourse folder is where the project file and potential textures are in.

 

And what is interesting is when I use the very same command on my computer and rename all folders associated with ocio and then have an ocio.config placed somewhere on my computer that I then path to, it works


I did try and use your recommended path (number moddified) D:\batch\tasks\workitems\dite_azurebatch_testjob\job-1\rendertest31\wd/ocio/configs/arnold/config.ocio and it did not work I have attached the log

I managed to make it find the ocio config file. The problem was that the file name was not "ocio.config" but "config.ocio"
