Problem summary
BackdropNode.selectNodes() and BackdropNode.getNodes() doesn't work in terminal/non-GUI Nuke
Customer reported version
nuke.n/a
Customer reported platform
Steps to reproduce
1) Launch Nuke in GUI mode and open the attached Nuke script
2) Run the following code:
backdrop = nuke.toNode('BackdropTest')backdrop.selectNodes(True)selected_nodes = nuke.selectedNodes()print (selected_nodes)
It will return the list of nodes in the Backgrop node
3) Launch Nuke in terminal mode, again opening the same script, for example: Nuke13.0 -t <path/to>backdropTest.nk
4) Run the same code as step 2, it now returns an empty list
Expected behaviour
For all the nodes in the Backdrop node to be selected when using BackdropNode.selectNodes() or BackdropNode.getNodes()
Actual behaviour
Nothing was selected when running in Terminal mode
Workaround
Write a function to manually check every node to see if they are in the bounds of the Backdrop:
def activateBackdrop(node):
xmin = node.knob('xpos').value()
xmax = xmin + node.knob('bdwidth').value()
ymin = node.knob('ypos').value()
ymax = ymin + node.knob('bdheight').value()
for i in [i for i in nuke.allNodes() if i is not node]:
ixmin = i.knob('xpos').value()
ixmax = ixmin + i.screenWidth()
iymin = i.knob('ypos').value()
iymax = iymin + i.screenHeight()
if (ixmin >= xmin and ixmax < xmax) and (iymin >= ymin and iymax < ymax):
i.knob('selected').setValue(True)
activateBackdrop(nuke.toNode('BackdropTest'))
selected_nodes = nuke.selectedNodes()
print (selected_nodes)
