I'm getting these errors which pertain to my APEX node stream within my hda after I blackbox my custom apex hda. I have been doing tests for weeks making blackboxed versions of the same hda, suddenly it started giving these error chains that pertain to many of my apex autorig components

basically, the HDA has no issues until I try to blackbox the asset, houdini crashes, and when i restart houdini and load the newly generated black boxed hda, it throws a chain or those NameError:'s Component Source and SnippetSource

Anyone got any idea what it could be?


heres what they look like

`Error running Python menu script in parameter,

All these kind of NameError:'s mention SnippetSource and ComponentSource

i saw this change log from May on houdinis website

"20.5.614
Fixed a bug in APEX Script resulting in the default values for callbacks added by apex script being unexpectedly cleared.

Thu. May 29, 2025"

I'm trying this on the daily build of 20.5.641 and its still not working. Not even sure if that change log is even related to this.

It's hard to say. Best to submit your reproducible hip file and HDA file as a bug to see if it can be reproduced by a developer.
