Silence/automatically respond to pop up window April 13, 2023, 3:41 a.m.

Hello,

I have been working on an automated workflow using python.

The workflow is disrupted by the apparition of a pop up window (clicking on the compile button). (see attached image)

The parameter interface of the node can not be edited (callback scripts are not apparent).

Is there a way to automatically respond push the yes button using the python API?

Thank you.

ROPFetch hangs when run using hython command line Feb. 16, 2022, 11:22 a.m.

I have a hython script that cooks a TOP network (embedded in a ROP Network) using those lines :

net = hou.node("/obj/ropnet1/topnet1")
to_cook = net.displayNode()
to_cook.executeGraph(False, True, False)

It cooks well for the most part until it reaches a ROPFetch ("/obj/ropnet1/topnet1/ropfetch") to an OpenGL node ("/obj/ropnet/opengl"). There it hangs forever (unless given a user input, keypress). There are other ROPFetches before which cook ok, this is the first one to fetch an OpenGL though.

In Houdini (18.5.351) cooking that TOP network ("/obj/ropnet1/topnet1/bottomnode") works fine and produces the desired output.

The command line used is :
"C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 18.5.351\bin\hython.exe" -u "P:\path\to\my\script.py"

Do you have any idea on how to get around the need for a user input ?
Thanks a lot.
