[SOLVED] Bug 25154: Reality Capture CLI return code is non-zero when called from a batch file or a python subprocess

Hello,

I have recently noticed a quite strange behavior when calling the CLI from python or from a batch file:
When I run a very simple command in the command prompt, for example “RealityCapture.exe -newScene -quit”, the exit code
is 0 (as expected, since there are no errors). When I call that command from a .bat file though I get
an exit code of … 4:

content of the example batch file:


RealityCapture.exe -newScene -quit
echo %errorlevel%


results of running the batch file:

C:\Program Files\Capturing Reality\RealityCapture>runrc.bat

C:\Program Files\Capturing Reality\RealityCapture>RealityCapture.exe -newScene -quit

C:\Program Files\Capturing Reality\RealityCapture>echo 4
4

 

Same behavior is observed if I call RC from a python subprocess:

>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.check_call("RealityCapture.exe -newScene -quit")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "A:\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\subprocess.py", line 364, in check_call
raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'RealityCapture.exe -newScene -quit' returned non-zero exit status 4.

Am I doing something wrong ? This is a bit problematic since I would like to be able to check for my reality capture calls…
Thanks in advance !

Hello Nilson,

thank you for reporting this problem.

There was a small problem on our side when application returned error code 4 in some cases. However, it should not affect any processes and you can continue with your work.

We have fixed this and in the future version the application should return zero code properly.

thanks for your answer.
