## Summary Add a dedicated **Errors tab** to the Right Side Panel that displays prompt-level, node validation, and runtime execution errors in a unified, searchable, grouped view — replacing the need to rely solely on modal dialogs for error inspection. ## Changes - **What**: - **New components** (`errors/` directory): - `TabErrors.vue` — Main error tab with search, grouping by class type, and canvas navigation (locate node / enter subgraph). - `ErrorNodeCard.vue` — Renders a single error card with node ID badge, title, action buttons, and error details. - `types.ts` — Shared type definitions (`ErrorItem`, `ErrorCardData`, `ErrorGroup`). - **`executionStore.ts`** — Added `PromptError` interface, `lastPromptError` ref and `hasAnyError` computed getter. Clears `lastPromptError` alongside existing error state on execution start and graph clear. - **`rightSidePanelStore.ts`** — Registered `'errors'` as a valid tab value. - **`app.ts`** — On prompt submission failure (`PromptExecutionError`), stores prompt-level errors (when no node errors exist) into `lastPromptError`. On both runtime execution error and prompt error, deselects all nodes and opens the errors tab automatically. - **`RightSidePanel.vue`** — Shows the `'errors'` tab (with ⚠ icon) when errors exist and no node is selected. Routes to `TabErrors` component. - **`TopMenuSection.vue`** — Highlights the action bar with a red border when any error exists, using `hasAnyError`. - **`SectionWidgets.vue`** — Detects per-node errors by matching execution IDs to graph node IDs. Shows an error icon (⚠) and "See Error" button that navigates to the errors tab. - **`en/main.json`** — Added i18n keys: `errors`, `noErrors`, `enterSubgraph`, `seeError`, `promptErrors.*`, and `errorHelp*`. - **Testing**: 6 unit tests (`TabErrors.test.ts`) covering prompt/node/runtime errors, search filtering, and clipboard copy. - **Storybook**: 7 stories (`ErrorNodeCard.stories.ts`) for badge visibility, subgraph buttons, multiple errors, runtime tracebacks, and prompt-only errors. - **Breaking**: None - **Dependencies**: None — uses only existing project dependencies (`vue-i18n`, `pinia`, `primevue`) ## Related Work > **Note**: Upstream PR #8603 (`New bottom button and badges`) introduced a separate `TabError.vue` (singular) that shows per-node errors when a specific node is selected. Our `TabErrors.vue` (plural) provides the **global error overview** — a different scope. The two tabs coexist: > - `'error'` (singular) → appears when a node with errors is selected → shows only that node's errors > - `'errors'` (plural) → appears when no node is selected and errors exist → shows all errors grouped by class type > > A future consolidation of these two tabs may be desirable after design review. ## Architecture ``` executionStore ├── lastPromptError: PromptError | null ← NEW (prompt-level errors without node IDs) ├── lastNodeErrors: Record<string, NodeError> (existing) ├── lastExecutionError: ExecutionError (existing) └── hasAnyError: ComputedRef<boolean> ← NEW (centralized error detection) TabErrors.vue (errors tab - global view) ├── errorGroups: ComputedRef<ErrorGroup[]> ← normalizes all 3 error sources ├── filteredGroups ← search-filtered view ├── locateNode() ← pan canvas to node ├── enterSubgraph() ← navigate into subgraph └── ErrorNodeCard.vue ← per-node card with copy/locate actions types.ts ├── ErrorItem { message, details?, isRuntimeError? } ├── ErrorCardData { id, title, nodeId?, errors[] } └── ErrorGroup { title, cards[], priority } ``` ## Review Focus 1. **Error normalization logic** (`TabErrors.vue` L75–150): Three different error sources (prompt, node validation, runtime) are normalized into a common `ErrorGroup → ErrorCardData → ErrorItem` hierarchy. Edge cases to verify: - Prompt errors with known vs unknown types (known types use localized descriptions) - Multiple errors on the same node (grouped into one card) - Runtime errors with long tracebacks (capped height with scroll) 2. **Canvas navigation** (`TabErrors.vue` L210–250): The `locateNode` and `enterSubgraph` functions navigate to potentially nested subgraphs. The double `requestAnimationFrame` is required due to LiteGraph's asynchronous subgraph switching — worth verifying this timing is sufficient. 3. **Store getter consolidation**: `hasAnyError` replaces duplicated logic in `TopMenuSection` and `RightSidePanel`. Confirm that the reactive dependency chain works correctly (it depends on 3 separate refs). 4. **Coexistence with upstream `TabError.vue`**: The singular `'error'` tab (upstream, PR #8603) and our plural `'errors'` tab serve different purposes but share similar naming. Consider whether a unified approach is preferred. ## Test Results ``` ✓ renders "no errors" state when store is empty ✓ renders prompt-level errors (Group title = error message) ✓ renders node validation errors grouped by class_type ✓ renders runtime execution errors from WebSocket ✓ filters errors based on search query ✓ calls copyToClipboard when copy button is clicked Test Files 1 passed (1) Tests 6 passed (6) ``` ## Screenshots (if applicable) <img width="1238" height="1914" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ec39b872-cca1-4076-8795-8bc7c05dc665" /> <img width="669" height="1028" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bdcaa82a-34b0-46a5-a08f-14950c5a479b" /> <img width="644" height="1005" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ffef38c6-8f42-4c01-a0de-11709d54b638" /> <img width="672" height="505" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5cff7f57-8d79-4808-a71e-9ad05bab6e17" /> ┆Issue is synchronized with this [Notion page](https://www.notion.so/PR-8807-Feat-errors-tab-panel-3046d73d36508127981ac670a70da467) by [Unito](https://www.unito.io)
Release Schedule
The project follows a structured release process for each minor version, consisting of three distinct phases:
-
Development Phase - 2 weeks
- Active development of new features
- Code changes merged to the development branch
-
Feature Freeze - 2 weeks
- No new features accepted
- Only bug fixes are cherry-picked to the release branch
- Testing and stabilization of the codebase
-
Publication
- Release is published at the end of the freeze period
- Version is finalized and made available to all users
Nightly Releases
Nightly releases are published daily at https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend/releases.
To use the latest nightly release, add the following command line argument to your ComfyUI launch script:
--front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend@latest
Overlapping Release Cycles
The development of successive minor versions overlaps. For example, while version 1.1 is in feature freeze, development for version 1.2 begins simultaneously. Each feature has approximately 4 weeks from merge to ComfyUI stable release (2 weeks on main, 2 weeks frozen on RC).
Example Release Cycle
| Week | Date Range | Version 1.1 | Version 1.2 | Version 1.3 | Patch Releases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | Mar 1-14 | Development | - | - | - |

v1.3.7: Register commands and keybindings
Extensions can call the following API to register commands and keybindings. Do note that keybindings defined in core cannot be overwritten, and some keybindings are reserved by the browser.
app.registerExtension({

commands: [
{
id: 'TestCommand',

tooltip: 'search',
type: 'custom',
render: (el) => {
el.innerHTML = '<div>Custom search tab</div>'
}

The list of supported icons can be found here: https://primevue.org/icons/#list
We will support custom icons later.
v1.10.9: Selection Toolbox API
Extensions can register commands that appear in the selection toolbox when specific items are selected on the canvas.
app.registerExtension({
name: 'TestExtension1',
commands: [
{
id: 'test.selection.command',
label: 'Test Command',
icon: 'pi pi-star',
function: () => {
// Command logic here
}
}

// Return an array of command IDs to show in the selection toolbox
// when an item is selected
getSelectionToolboxCommands: (selectedItem) => ['test.selection.command']
})
The selection toolbox will display the command button when items are selected:
