Ayon Manager Silent Error

tanh · 10 June 2025 04:50

Hello,

Our team was using AYON to update an asset in the scene using the AYON manager in After Effect. However, when we click update to the latest version the version was not updated. Unfortunately, there is no visual feedback of if and why the process failed.

The only way to know what went wrong was to use ayon_console to see what the error was.

Is this silent error behaviour is common in the AYON manager? If so, is there a way we can address this issue so that a pop up would show up?

Regards,
Tu

I’ve seen it happen before - but I’m not sure it’s intentional so a PR would be nice.

Likely this logic here should not be showing only on AssertionError, but on any relevant error Exception?

## Changelog Description When there is an exception in the `_update_containers`… function, only AssertionError was caught. This lead to silent error for the other exception type. This pull request aims at providing visual feedback on the error when the other types of exceptions are caught. ## Additional info n/a ## Testing notes: 1. Use a loader to load an asset into the scene 2. Modify the update code of the plugin to raise a test exception 3. Use the manager to update the asset in the scene
