+
+        It is different from `test_deadline_publish_in_nuke` as that one is for
+        `render` family >> this test expects different subset names.
+
+        Uses generic TestCase to prepare fixtures for test data, testing DBs,
+        env vars.
+
+        !!!
+        It expects path in WriteNode starting with 'c:/projects', it replaces
+        it with correct value in temp folder.
+        Access file path by selecting WriteNode group, CTRL+Enter, update file
+        input
+        !!!
+
+        Opens Nuke, run publish on prepared workile.
+
+        Then checks content of DB (if subset, version, representations were
+        created.
+        Checks tmp folder if all expected files were published.
+

+        (in cmd with activated {OPENPYPE_ROOT}/.venv)
+        {OPENPYPE_ROOT}/.venv/Scripts/python.exe {OPENPYPE_ROOT}/start.py
