What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you diagnose and prevent the most frequent Sverchok node coding errors that lead to silent data corruption, broken updates, crashes, and wasted computation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Catches 17 common Sverchok error patterns across data nesting, update handling, socket mutation, list matching, lifecycle methods, and IFC/Sverchok integration pitfalls.
  • Provides concrete corrective rules and patterns, including safe data access (sv_get deepcopy), required nesting for outputs (sv_set), and proper lifecycle usage (sv_init vs __init__).
  • Supports IfcSverchok-specific troubleshooting, including how SvIfcStore.purge() affects entity IDs and what to do instead.

Quick Start

Use the sverchok-errors-common skill to debug a Sverchok node that produces wrong or missing output by checking your data nesting and ensuring you use deepcopy=True when mutating sv_get() results.

Frequently Asked Questions about sverchok-errors-common

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

FAQPage Schema
Why does my Sverchok node output wrong data or silently fail to update?

Sverchok nodes often fail silently due to incorrect data nesting, missing updateNode callbacks, or unsafe mutation of shared socket data. You must use proper sv_set/sv_get nesting levels and deepcopy inputs before modifying them.

How do I fix list matching truncation in Sverchok nodes?

To fix list matching truncation in Sverchok nodes, apply match_long_repeat before using zip to combine inputs. This preserves full data across mismatched list lengths instead of silently truncating to the shortest sequence.

When should I use sv_init versus __init__ in Sverchok node development?

Use sv_init for Sverchok node lifecycle setup instead of standard __init__ to ensure proper socket creation and updates. Following Sverchok conventions for lifecycle methods prevents broken updates and structural node failures.

How do I safely mutate input socket data in Sverchok without corrupting caches?

To safely mutate input socket data in Sverchok, retrieve data using sv_get with deepcopy=True. This prevents in-place mutation of shared cached inputs, which otherwise causes silent data corruption across connected nodes.

Does Sverchok work with IfcSverchok for BIM and IFC workflows?

Sverchok supports BIM and IFC workflows through IfcSverchok, but requires careful entity ID management. Avoid stale entity references by understanding how SvIfcStore.purge affects IDs and applying the correct alternative update patterns.

What causes Sverchok nodes to not update when properties change?

Sverchok nodes fail to update on property changes when missing the update=updateNode callback. Applying this callback ensures the node graph reliably recomputes and generates correct outputs when inputs or properties change.
