Null string. Should never see this! When getting detail attr 2020年11月11日11:08

Hi,

I am enumerating all the detail attribs names like this:
UE_ASSERT(0xad0cf41, E_HOUDINI_ATTROWNER_INVALID < attributeOwner && attributeOwner < E_HOUDINI_ATTROWNER_MAX);
int attributeCnt = m_PartInfo->attributeCounts[attributeOwner];
			
std::vector<T_HoudiniStringHandle> stringHandles;
stringHandles.resize(attributeCnt);
HAPI_Result res = HAPI_GetAttributeNames(m_Session->GetPtr(), m_GeoId, m_PartInfo->id, HAPI_ATTROWNER_DETAIL, &stringHandles[0], attributeCnt);

UE_ASSERT(0xd7a0f3ff, res == HAPI_RESULT_SUCCESS);

uestd::vector<C_String> attributeNames;
attributeNames.reserve(attributeCnt);

for (auto handle : stringHandles)
{
	int buffer_length = 0;
	HAPI_Result res = HAPI_GetStringBufLength(m_Session, handle, &buffer_length);
	UE_ASSERT(0xe9c3b2e7, res == HAPI_RESULT_SUCCESS);

	uestd::string str;
	str.resize(buffer_length);

	res = HAPI_GetString(m_Session, handle, &str[0], buffer_length);
	UE_ASSERT(0xde863b29, res == HAPI_RESULT_SUCCESS);

	attributeNames.push_back(str.c_str());
}

And I am getting only “Null string. Should never see this!” in all the values, whats wrong? This approach works for anything but detail attribs in my usecase. Under which circumstances can this happen?

Number of detail attribs is ok, the values nope.

Please help!
Thanks
Tom

HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR Ignored when using HAPI 2020年7月2日7:42

Here is some more details:

I am setting up the variable as:

HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR = D:\mypath\packages;&;

I have also tried using hapi:
HAPI_SetServerEnvString(m_Session, “HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR”, “D:\mypath\packages;&;”);

When cooking I can print the HOUDINI_PACKAGE_DIR variable, its there. But ignored.

If I copy the package file to C:\Users\user\Documents\houdini18.0\packages, it all starts working, however does not meet my requirement of loading the packages from some other location.
