Short description of error
So I have been using Flamenco for the past couple of weeks without issues. I come back today to start another batch job and each and every time I start I get this error:
I haven't changed blender or flamenco. I haven't touched any of the blend files. It just keeps persisting.
I decided to open a blank blend file to test and see if it might be something to do with the project. I start a render and I then get this.
I have no idea what is happening or what to do to fix it
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Thanks for the report. This is something to address in Flamenco for sure. If anything, it should tell you what's wrong instead of producing this ;-)
Could you check two things for me?
Again, in both cases Flamenco should just tell you what's wrong & how to solve it (something like "save the file to disk before submitting" or "a job name is required"). These questions are just for me to understand your situation better.
Hello Sybren,
Thank you for reaching out,
The blend file and the stored batch jobs are saved on a network drive that I have mapped to the other workers.
All of my devices are able to write to the drive no issues.
And yes I entered a job name In this case "Animation" was the name
What was the path of the blend file when you submitted it to Flamenco?
I just now notice that the steps to reproduce don't include actually submitting to Flamenco. I'm guessing "start a render" is indicating that, but it's hard to reliably reproduce a bug when I have to guess.
Here is a screenshot if it helps at all
But the path that I am submitting to is
Z:\Documents\Batch-Jobs
reading into the error logs it looks like it's having issues with a file in my temp directory?
Can you show the output on the system console (Window -> Toggle System Console)? I can't reproduce the issue with just a blank file.
Hello Sybren,
Here is the output from the system console,
thank you for your help!

Hello Nathan,
I had the error "ValueError: WindowsPath('.') has an empty name" only when I had a new file by opening blender or creating a new one via Files-New and did not save it before submitting a job to flamenco.
It looks like It may be an issue with the Blend file itself. I started a few other projects and those seem to start up just fine. Unfortunately I still have no idea what specifically in that blend file is causing it to trip.
