Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what's going on but I'm out of ideas.
we have packages directory on the network share which is defined by HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR before render starts
Problem is we gets errors of missing tools Labs and kinex. Strange thing is that if I've set HOUDINI_PACKAGE_VERBOSE=1 it seems to me packages are properly found and loaded.
Same setup works in workstation well except, network directory is mirrored to local disk

mabelzileI've tried both and it is working.
You could try to debug first locally to see if it's related to the shared folder (i.e. move the shared folder to a folder local to your machine).
1. On my local machine set HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR to network share(same as farm using)
2. copied shared folder to local disk and then set HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR there
What do you mean by this ?It just means that this HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR environment variable was set properly before render command was started.we have packages directory on the network share which is defined by HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR before render starts
UPDATE:
after carefully comparing all the environments, I found the reason of the missing packages. I always thought that @/otls;& endings in HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH were only needed within houdini.env and not supposed it is working in .bat files.
Now errors disappeared.

I have the same issue on farm, can you elaborate? launching houdini with a batch file with "HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR" set will work, but when I submit it to deadline farm suddenly thats an invalid package folder, even tho the farm is working normally with that drive.

adlabac
that means our HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH environment literally ends with @/otls;&
eg.
@set "HOUDINI_OTLSCAN_PATH=tool_directory1;tool_directory2;@/otls;&"
A
so how did you have that @otls;& at the end, and you digured it was causing an issue so you removed it? or you didn't have it before so you finally added the @otls;& expression at the end?
