Bugfix/houdini redshift fix default redshift version

[MustafaJafar]

Changelog Description

Ported from OP ynput/OpenPype#6192

Fixing the bug reported here https://community.ynput.io/t/houdini-redshift-deadline-executable-error/1210
Let me quote BigRoy's comment:
If we specify Version as "" then indeed it tries to access the version as Redshift_Executable_ instead of the Deadline default Redshift_Executable_1

Testing notes:

1. (As far as I know) Make sure REDSHIFT_VERSION env doesn't exist
2. Enable render archives in Redshift ROP
3. Publish

I'm not sure why this happens.

Pretty sure the issue here is that Houdini isn't recognizing the Redshift plug-in correctly.

I assume this is likely due the Houdini application running in Deadline either has an incorrect environment set up or is the wrong version for that environment. For example: your job environment is for Hou 20.0.590 but it's actually launching Hou 20.0.547 on the farm (due to it reading that from Deadline's Houdini Plug-in).

Anyway, from your logs:

It's launching Houdini 19.5.605

The submitted job came from AVALON_APP_NAME=houdini/19-0 so I'm not entirely sure whether that's correct for you.
You've likely installed Redshift locally on your C:\ drive because I don't see any Redshift being mentioned in the application env vars being set. So it's hard to see which version is being picked up here of Redshift (if it were configured), but if it's a local install it should work fine.

That leaves me to assume that you didn't expect it to run Houdini 19.5.605 but submitted from a different version of Houdini. Could that be the case?

By the way, can we tweak the AYON GlobalJobPreLoad.py to print the environments its sets by key in sorted order? That makes it much easier to read through the startup envs.

I will test it again, it can be because I switched from different houdini version from different renderers and it messes up.

Looks good in my side.
