Bug Report

Overview

The Bug Report operator collects comprehensive system diagnostic information for troubleshooting LOPs issues. It is intended for generating reports to share with DotSimulate when you encounter installation problems or library conflicts.

Temporary Stall

Generating a report may cause your project to stall briefly while the operator scans the Python virtual environment and checks CUDA availability. This is expected.

When pulsed, it gathers OS details, TouchDesigner version, Python environment info, all installed venv packages, CUDA/GPU status, and a list of every LOP operator in your network. The report is saved to the bug_reports folder inside your ChatTD installation directory, written to an internal DAT, and copied to your clipboard.

Input/Output

Inputs

None — the operator functions independently.

Outputs

• out1 (DAT): The generated bug report as formatted text.
• Reports are also saved as timestamped .txt files in your ChatTD installation’s bug_reports folder.

Usage

2. Optionally reference a DAT containing additional context in the Bug Info DAT parameter.
