Problem compiling shaders

Hi,

with current Houdini versions (starting with 15.5.553, I believe), I get the following error message when starting a render:

mantra: /shop/principledshader1/SurfaceVexCode:7171:20-30: Error 1066: Call to undefined function ‘getuvobject’.
/shop/principledshader1/SurfaceVexCode:7172:25-40: Error 1066: Call to undefined function ‘getuvhiresobject’.

mantra: Failed to resolve VEX code opdefShop/principledshader?SurfaceVexCode

It doesn't matter whether I use the mantra surface shader or a simple principledshader.

I'm using Windows 10 pro on a HP Zbook 15.

Any ideas anybody?

Regards,
Carsten

I submitted this bug as soon as I installed it. Good to hear they are on it.

This error also happens in 15.5.557. I think this is a high priority issue. Not being able to use materials is kind of a very… very.. big deal. How did this not get noticed?

Apparently, there was some issue with old shader code being cached in our regression tests, so the tests were using the old code and thus kept producing correct output, though that's half-heard 3rd-hand information, so I might have it wrong.
Writing code for fun and profit since... 2005? Wow, I'm getting old.

Good to hear you're already on it.

A simple workaround I accidentally found is right-clicking the shader and select “Allow Editing of Contents”.

Thanks this does indeed seem to work.

Hopefully they will get this sorted soon as it is a fundamental problem and I can't use earlier versions because of the windows 10 update bug………

Ah… great news. Thought I screwed up dozens of shaders after updating a bunch of otls.

Wondering why there's no mention of this issue/fix in the Journals?
