Cannot execute because node TextEncodeQwenImageEdit does not exist..

[BenDes21]

Hi, despite using the latest version of comfyUI who should support Qwen Edit nodes ( who are include directly into comfyUI as Core nodes ) Im still getting :

"delayTime": 6972,
"error": "Cannot execute because node TextEncodeQwenImageEdit does not exist.. Raw response: {"error": {"type": "invalid_prompt", "message": "Cannot execute because node TextEncodeQwenImageEdit does not exist.", "details": "Node ID '#1'", "extra_info": {}}, "node_errors": {}}",
"executionTime": 9172,
"id": "sync-660d3398-1aa1-4d95-95ed-148dfc070428-e2",
"status": "FAILED",
"workerId": "5oad1siolq0eu2"

Is 5.4 version automatically the latest version of comfYUI when the image is rebuilt ? Thanks

It's still using comfyui 0.3.44

@AkshayLaghate Is there any Dockerfile command we can add to update the ComfyUI version when building a new image based on runpod-worker?

[SilentSnowStudios]

Ditto! Same question!

Having the same issue. For more context, the reason being that even version 5.5 of this repo would not contain the latest version of Comfy needed to run the Qwen Text Encode nodes - the repo needs to be updated to support Comfy v3.6 which contains the Qwen Text Encode nodes.

@SilentSnowStudios @fiza-azam Use this to update ComfyUI.

FROM runpod/worker-comfyui:5.5.0-base

RUN /usr/bin/yes | comfy --workspace /comfyui update all;

`TextEncodeQwenImageEdit` is part of ComfyUI's built-in `nodes_qwen.py` module. The "does not exist" error means either:

1. Your worker image is on a ComfyUI version older than when `nodes_qwen.py` was added. Check the ComfyUI version at container boot — the log line is `### ComfyUI Revision: []`. The worker on 5.8.5 ships with ComfyUI 0.17.2 (rev 4905) which has these nodes (confirmed today — line 161 of a fresh log shows `Trying to load custom node /comfyui/comfy_extras/nodes_qwen.py`).

2. The node failed to import at boot (silent), so it never gets registered. Check the full container log for `Failed to import` near `nodes_qwen`.

Could you share:

• Worker image version
• Full container log from boot to the failing request
• The exact workflow JSON

If you're on a pre-5.8 image, just upgrading should resolve it.
