pytest tests-unit/execution_test and pytest tests-unit/comfy_api_test both fail at collection with AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled, and run nothing:

$ python -m pytest tests-unit/execution_test
ERROR tests-unit/execution_test/preview_method_override_test.py - AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled
!!! Interrupted: 1 error during collection !!!

Two modules reach comfy.model_management through an import (latent_preview, and nodes_load_3d), and it picks a torch device at import time.

CI does not see this, and I do not think it is a CI bug: the full pytest tests-unit run passes because another test module sets args.cpu before either of these is imported, and the flag is process wide. It only bites when a directory or a single file is run on its own, which is the normal way to work on one area.

This guards both the way tests-unit/comfy_test/test_seedvr2_vae_decode.py already does.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

tests-unit/conftest.py now checks CUDA, XPU, and MPS availability. When no accelerator is available, it sets args.cpu = True during test configuration import. This causes dependent modules to select CPU mode when they are imported during test collection.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to dba52

This change enables CPU-only test collection while intending to retain accelerator-specific behavior. CPU-only results are passing, but non-CUDA accelerator paths have not been directly validated, leaving a bounded test-coverage risk.

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI "preview_ui_3d_test.py" "args.cpu"

💡 Result:

There is no standard CLI argument or function parameter named args.cpu associated with a file named preview_ui_3d_test.py in the context of ComfyUI [1][2][3]. The file preview_ui_3d_test.py does not appear to be a standard component of the ComfyUI codebase [1][2][3]. The project instead utilizes comfy_extras/nodes_load_3d.py and similar files for handling 3D preview nodes like Preview3D and Preview3DAdvanced [1][2][4]. If you are encountering issues related to CPU usage or running in CPU-only mode, please note: 1. ComfyUI supports a global --cpu flag when launching the main application (python main.py --cpu) to force the system to operate on the CPU rather than attempting to utilize a GPU [5]. 2. Some components (such as Kornia) have historically caused issues when running with the --cpu flag because they may still attempt to access GPU-specific instructions [5]. 3. If you are developing or testing custom nodes and passing arguments, verify the argument structure in the specific script you are executing, as standard ComfyUI nodes (such as those in nodes_load_3d.py) typically define schemas and use kwargs for input handling rather than direct CLI arguments [2][6][4].

Citations:


Use a backend-aware CPU fallback in both test modules.

When torch.cuda.is_available() is false, both guards set args.cpu = True. During comfy.model_management initialization, this changes CPUState.MPS or the XPU path to CPUState.CPU; get_torch_device() then returns cpu. Detect supported non-CUDA backends, including MPS and XPU, before setting args.cpu, and force CPU only when no supported backend is available.

Extended: it is three directories, not two. I surveyed every directory under tests-unit on a clean master, run on its own:

app_test               60 passed
assets_test            534 passed, 10 skipped
comfy_api_nodes_test   111 passed, 2 skipped
comfy_api_test         1 error          <-- preview_ui_3d_test.py
comfy_extras_test      1 error          <-- compositor_node_test.py

comfy_test             140 passed
execution_test         1 error          <-- preview_method_override_test.py
folder_paths_test      34 passed
jobs_cancel_test       22 passed
prompt_server_test     32 passed

All three fail the same way, AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled at collection, because each reaches comfy.model_management through an import (nodes_load_3d, nodes_compositor, latent_preview) and it picks a torch device at import time.

@PozzettiAndrea PozzettiAndrea changed the title tests: let two test directories run on a CPU only install tests: let three test directories run on a CPU only install Sep 6, 2026
Three of the directories under tests-unit fail at collection with "Torch
not compiled with CUDA enabled" and run nothing when run on their own:

    tests-unit/comfy_api_test      preview_ui_3d_test.py
    tests-unit/comfy_extras_test   compositor_node_test.py
    tests-unit/execution_test      preview_method_override_test.py

Each reaches comfy.model_management through an import (nodes_load_3d,
nodes_compositor, latent_preview), and it picks a torch device at import
time.

The full tests-unit run is unaffected, so CI does not see this: another
test module sets args.cpu before any of these is imported, and the flag is
process wide. It only bites when a directory or a file is run on its own,
which is the normal way to work on one area.

Set the flag once in a tests-unit conftest instead of per module, and only
when torch can reach no device at all. The accelerator check mirrors the
detection in comfy/model_management.py, guarded the same way, so a machine
with MPS or XPU keeps its own device rather than being pushed onto the CPU
path.

Good catch, that was a real regression and I have fixed it properly.

You are right that if not torch.cuda.is_available(): args.cpu = True is wrong on a machine with MPS or XPU: those collect fine today, and my guard would have pushed them onto the CPU path and quietly dropped backend coverage.

Rather than making the condition backend aware in three separate modules, this now sets the flag once, in a new tests-unit/conftest.py, and only when torch can reach no device at all. The check mirrors the detection in comfy/model_management.py:126-136, including the same try/except around torch.xpu and torch.backends.mps, so MPS and XPU keep their own device:

def _has_accelerator():
    if torch.cuda.is_available():
        return True
    try:
        if torch.xpu.is_available():
            return True
    except Exception:
        pass
    try:
        if torch.backends.mps.is_available():
            return True
    except Exception:
        pass
    return False

It also makes the change smaller: three edited test modules become one new file, and the fix applies to any module that hits this later rather than the three that hit it today.

Every directory under tests-unit, run on its own, on CPU only torch:

app_test 60 · assets_test 534 · comfy_api_nodes_test 111 · comfy_api_test 147
comfy_extras_test 220 · comfy_quant 7 · comfy_test 140 · execution_test 104
folder_paths_test 34 · jobs_cancel_test 22 · prompt_server_test 32
security_test 42 · seeder_test 40 · server 3 · server_test 40 · utils 15

All pass; the three that previously errored at collection are comfy_api_test, comfy_extras_test and execution_test. pytest tests-unit is 1599 passed before and after.

I cannot test the MPS or XPU path here (Linux, NVIDIA), so that part rests on matching model_management's own detection rather than on a run.
