Tracing errors inside engine comp

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hello.

Is there a workflow that I am missing for tracking errors inside engine comps?
The only info I get is that there were errors in the component.

Hi - the best way right now is an Error DAT in the component connected to an Out DAT, so you can see errors in TouchDesigner as they show up. We’re looking at ways to improve error reporting for a future release.

One common cause of errors is relative paths in the component - see the note about external file paths in the Engine COMP documentation.

Amazing, thanks
