Workflow no longer opens in latest ComfyUI version
Expected Behavior
It should open.
Actual Behavior
It doesn't open, nothing happens. Even month-old PNGs that have embedded workflows no longer open, so it's not a recent addition on my part.
These workflows work in v0.3.28 but not v0.3.29.
Steps to Reproduce
Try to open this .json file through the UI and you won't even get the popup asking you to install the missing custom nodes: Noob-AI.json
Debug Logs
There's nothing, it fails silently.

No response
All of my nodes broke with the latest update. I'm never going to update again unless I have made a backup.

event backup is useless. I unzip my backup and it ran into white black page unless I update it to latest Comfy version :D .
best is to roll back: git checkout v0.3.28
Nah, tried checkout to 3.28, rebase to previous commits and nodes are still missing, even though they were working fine before the update to 3.29. Idk, but I suspect even triton was affected.
it works for me: pip install comfyui-frontend-package==1.14 git checkout v0.3.26
Since it's an issue related to the Frontend, you must re-run pip install -r requirements.txt if you are rolling back manually with git.

Yes @blahouel, this has worked for me. Hopefully some devs can try out my workflow in v0.3.29 and see that it's just not loading. They need to at least program a console error for it failing like this. Silently failing is not acceptable!

Sorry @PriMaVeraFS but your issue would likely be a separate issue to mine. My workflow isn't just temporarily broken by some missing nodes, it's just dead with no errors. I've got 61 custom nodes and I've got them all working fine. If a custom node breaks for you with (IMPORT FAILED) all the time, here's what you should do:
- Attempt to uninstall it in manager
- THEN go delete the folder manually from inside your custom_nodes folder (in your operating system go browse to your ComfyUI folder and go find your custom_nodes folder)
- Restart comfyui, open Manager and reinstall the custom node.
This has never failed me in fixing a broken custom node.
So I believe your issue is a separate issue to my "silently broken workflow" issue I've presented in this thread (so you should make your own thread for that). All my nodes are fine, I can even uninstall ALL of my nodes completely and my workflow still silently fails to load. Even in a brand new installation of 3.29 it fails!

Of course that works for you, because that's v0.3.26, this thread is about v0.3.29 which causes my workflow to silently fail to load.
I've already established that previous comfyui versions work fine.
same,can't open some workflows and no message,just nothing happen.fronted 1.16 change something silently ,so bad
I haven't updated for a while and this ver completely broke my workflows. I had to rollback to 3.16. how do I use my workflows on latest version?

latest working without workflow error is ComfyUI 0.3.28
I've fixed my workflow, I can open it now in v0.3.29. I had to edit it in v0.3.28, the problem is there was a corrupted node hidden somewhere in the workflow, it was undeletable, until I also deleted the nodes around it (the ones it was attached to). Removing the connections didn't help.
So the solution for anyone else is:
- Download
v0.3.28 - Save a backup copy of your workflow
- Start deleting random nodes and see if any of them fail to delete
- If you find a node that doesn't let you delete it or gives an error, then that's the node that is breaking your workflow in
v0.3.29 - Close the file where you've been deleting random nodes and open a new complete copy of your workflow
- Delete the nodes that the corrupted node was attached to, then save it, then try deleting the corrupted nodes themselves
I think there's also a problem where your workflow will fail to save if you try and delete the corrupted nodes too early. And you won't be able to see that your workflow has failed to save until you completely close it and reopen it. Very buggy stuff.
In my case it was the custom node called comfyui-clip-with-break, however the specific node might be irrelevant, maybe this can happen with any node (not sure).
