[Bug]: Error: 'expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType'.

[makeoo1]

Have you read the latest version of the FAQ?

• I have visited the FAQ page right now and my issue is not present there

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits of both this extension and the webui

Are you using the latest version of the Deforum extension?

• I have Deforum updated to the lastest version and I still have the issue.

What happened?

Out of nowhere i am getting this error:

Steps to reproduce the problem

I just ran Deforum with default's settings. I also tried without any extensions enabled.

What should have happened/how would you fix it?

.

Torch version

On which platform are you launching the webui with the extension?

Local PC setup (Windows)

Deforum settings

1. Try to move resolution sliders - just change values using sliders (i've got similar error and that helped)
2. Depth warping can cause issues also, for some unknown-blackMagic reason - try to disable it.
3. Try 2D, 3D...4. I would try to load some old config to see what is happening.

[makeoo1]

hey thx!

just tried, nothing worked sadly. Same error.

its been in this status since months and it seems i can't find no way to fix it.... i literally tired everything from updating, reinstalling, downgrading... you name it ....

[kuzman123]

auto1111? Try Vlad automatic, i bet it will work

[makeoo1]

yes dude A1111.

i can give it a try but i doubt it will work since i belive it's Deforum the problem, i was using it regularly without any problems and then one day this happend out of nowhere and apparently there is no solution to be found....

[NthKevkas]

I'm also experiencing this error. I have tried to enable and disable all possible init types, as I'm just trying to use full txt2img. I have updated to the latest and tried it a few times and can never get past my first frame. I am also running A1111.

[xiaolou1115]

I encountered the same error and tried various methods but couldn't fix it
