What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you debug and migrate Blender Python scripts that fail due to removed or renamed APIs between Blender versions, so you don’t waste time on silent breakages or confusing runtime errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnose version-specific errors: Identifies common Blender failures like AttributeError, ImportError, and TypeError caused by major version API rewrites.
  • Provides migration replacements: Uses targeted replacement mappings (e.g., bgl→gpu, legacy properties removals, node interface changes, shader name changes).
  • Guides safe recovery patterns: Offers version-safe decision logic using bpy.app.version, hasattr(), and correct context override handling.
  • Use Case: When upgrading an addon from Blender 3.x to 4.x/5.x, quickly map each error message to the correct replacement code path and update operators or property access accordingly.

Quick Start

Run blender-errors-version after you see an AttributeError or ImportError while executing a Blender script, and provide the full traceback so it can map it to the correct Blender version migration rule.

Frequently Asked Questions about blender-errors-version

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix AttributeError and ImportError when upgrading Blender Python addons?

To fix AttributeError and ImportError during Blender Python addon upgrades, map the tracebacks to version-specific API migrations, replacing removed or renamed functions using targeted replacement logic and version detection via bpy.app.version.

What is the correct way to migrate bgl to gpu in Blender Python scripts?

Migrating bgl to gpu in Blender Python scripts involves mapping deprecated bgl module calls to the modern gpu module and shader replacements, guided by a decision tree that ensures version-safe accessors across mixed Blender environments.

Why does bpy.ops fail with a context override error in newer Blender versions?

The bpy.ops context override fails because newer Blender versions changed the required context override handling, necessitating version-safe replacement accessors and updated operator calls to correctly execute Python operators without runtime errors.

How do I handle node interface changes and material property errors in Blender 4.x?

Handling node interface changes and material property errors in Blender 4.x requires mapping TypeError and runtime enum issues to their specific API rewrites, updating node tree and property access using hasattr and version-conditional logic.

Can I use bpy.app.version to write version-safe Blender Python code across 3.x and 4.x?

Yes, you can use bpy.app.version to write version-safe Blender Python code by applying conditional logic and hasattr checks, allowing your addons to dynamically select correct API paths across 3.x, 4.x, and 5.x environments.

What causes TypeError and runtime enum issues in Blender shader code after a version update?

TypeError and runtime enum issues in Blender shader code after a version update are caused by shader name changes and removed legacy properties, requiring migration to updated enum mappings and replacement GPU accessors.
