Custom Node Testing
Expected Behavior
When using --input-directory M:/somewhere/input if the input directory does not exist it is created.
Actual Behavior
Input directory is created - but not until we get the errors
Error while calling comfy_entrypoint in M:\pinokio\api\comfy.git\app\comfy_extras\nodes_audio.py: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'M:\\somewhere\\input'
and
WARNING: some comfy_extras/ nodes did not import correctly. This may be because they are missing some dependencies.

This issue might be caused by new missing dependencies added the last time you updated ComfyUI.
Please do a: pip install -r requirements.txt
What is happening is that nodes_audio.py tries to access the input directory to find out what is in there and will fail if the directory does not exist:
class LoadAudio(IO.ComfyNode):
@classmethod
def define_schema(cls):
input_dir = folder_paths.get_input_directory()
files = folder_paths.filter_files_content_types(os.listdir(input_dir), ["audio", "video"])
However later on loads_node_3d.py creates the input directory if it is missing, before trying to scan its contents so the input directory does always get created eventually:
class Load3D(IO.ComfyNode):
@classmethod
def define_schema(cls):
input_dir = os.path.join(folder_paths.get_input_directory(), "3d")
os.makedirs(input_dir, exist_ok=True)
input_path = Path(input_dir)
Clearly nodes_audio.py should use the same logic and also create the directory if it is missing.
Steps to Reproduce
Add option --input-directory M:/somewhere/input pointing somewhere that does not exist yet.
