Here you can find known errors and possible solutions to them.


Q: I'm on Houdini 19 (18.5, 18) and got error...

A: The toolset only works in Houdini 19.5.


Q: There are no messages in the CMD-line console, but an SD Switch Model or SD Dream node shows red circles instead of green task.

A: You can dive inside the node, find the topmost node with the red circles, right click on any of those circles and choose Work Item info. There you can find a more descriptive text. Search for it in this document.


Q: In Houdini console I see Connection error: http://...

A: If it's a single line, than most likely you got a short network interruption, just continue working. If these lines are constantly spamming into the console, you forgot to start your Automatic1111 up with the --api key.


Q: The error in the Work Item Info says: 'pdg.WorkItem object has no attribute addOutpuFile'.

A: It's due to the Houdini version. Install Houdini 19.5


Q: In my command line console I constantly see lines like this: 'control_v11e_sd15_ip2p [c4bb465c]', 'control_v11e_sd15_shuffle [526bfdae]', 'control_v11f1p_sd15_depth [cfd03158]', 'control_v11p_sd15_canny [d14c016b]'

A: It's not a bug, it's a feature of ControlNet API. Whenever you request the list of available models, they print them out into the console. Don't ask why.


Q: I got an error "'Table' object is not callable" in the Work Item info.

A: Most likely you didn't put the --api key to the bat-file, or didn't use it to run A1111. It's an API error. Also, check if the url and the port are correct. If the error persists, try to reinstall Automatic with the right Python (3.10). One user reported that he got this message while on Python 3.9.


Q: I'm on Linux and got error "There is no current event loop in thread 'AnyIO worker thread'"

A: It's a bug in A1111 API. You need to pull a fix as it's described here: https://github.com/stassius/StableHoudini/issues/5#issuecomment-1526853412


Q: I get an error when using ControlNet: TypeError: Object of type ControlMode is not JSON serializable.

A: Most likely you're on an old version of ControlNet. Update the extension.


Q: I got the error when using ControlNet in command line console: AttributeError: str object has no attribute enabled

A: It's a bug in ControlNet api. In image2image put as many ControlNets to your SD Dream, as there are set up in A1111 settings. The bug was fixed in the A1111 update from 01.05.2023, so update Automatic and ControlNet.


Q: ControlNet Got an unexpected (keyword) argument ...

A: Update the ControlNet extension.


Q: When opening a Houdini project after update I got errors like this: 'Skipping unrecognized parameter...'

A: Those are not errors. Houdini just warns you that since the last time you saved the project, the assets UI has changed. You can ignore these messages.
