ComfyUI started but the page crashes the browser

[kurophali]

Expected Behavior

start ui normally

Actual Behavior

I started it via vscode and got the log Starting server To see the GUI go to: http://127.0.0.1:8188

I tried with chrome and only the menu flashed for 1 frame then the browser said the page crashed with STATUS_BREAKPOINT. I also tried edge and it did not work.

I'm wondering if it's my workflow that caused this. Is there anyway I can replace the startup workflow in comfyUI to try if it works out?

Steps to Reproduce

I did not find the cause

FYI - this started happening to me yesterday WITHOUT updating anything. After updating, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I don't think its the start-up workflow, as I have tried different browsers (which have there own ComfyUI cache).

Tried in:

• Chrome
• Edge
• Opera GX

They all either take ages to spin up or present this error:

If I spam "Refresh" enough times, it eventually works.

This appears in the Console:

[ERROR] An error occurred while retrieving information for the 'ClipTextFromTemplateEncode' node.

For me I just found that it was the custom nodes in Jovimetrix that caused the problem, even if I didn't use it in the workflow. Refreshing did not work and there's no additional error logs either. BTW I tried fast clicking on the load button before the page crashes but it didn't work lols. Try to move your custom nodes in one by one to identify which one causes the problem.

Thank you for posting. I just woke up to this issue ("Status Breakpoint" immediate Chrome browser window crash) and moving the Jovimetrix node folder out custom_nodes seems to have resolved it for now.

Saved me a lot of time - thanks!

That isnt a Jovimetrix problem, that is a problem in ClipText not being able to decode unicode*.

File "D:\apps\Python\Python310\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]

should be the hint it is using old windows code page to decode, which is great if this was 1998.

ClipText should be updated to encode for UNICODE not just for WINDOWS CP1252.

CLIPTextFromTemplateEncode

Can you tell us where you even got this node? The error implies is a raw CLIPTextFromTemplateEncode.py file in your custom node directory which is either something you made or is not within the Manager repository of registered nodes.

The problem that node is having, not my pack, is the use of old encoding methods. Update the encoding to Unicode not just the older Windows Codepage 1252.

I'm still able to repo the tab process crash on head without Jovimetrix enabled. https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/issues/641

These are not the same error.
