# Feature Request: Enhanced run_comfyui.bat with Automated Dependency Checking and CUDA PyTorch Detection
## Problem
Windows users often encounter frustrating issues when setting up ComfyUI:
1. **Missing Dependencies**: Users encounter cryptic `ModuleNotFoundError` messages when dependencies are missing, requiring manual troubleshooting and installation
2. **CPU-Only PyTorch**: Many users accidentally install CPU-only PyTorch, which prevents GPU acceleration and causes significant performance issues without clear indication of the problem
3. **Poor Error Messages**: Existing error messages don't provide clear guidance on how to resolve issues, leaving users to search forums and documentation
4. **Installation Confusion**: Users are unsure which dependencies are required vs optional, and whether they should install in virtual environments
These issues create a poor first-time user experience and increase support burden.
## Proposed Solution
Enhance the `run_comfyui.bat` startup script to:
- **Automated Dependency Checking**: Check all critical Python dependencies before launching ComfyUI, with clear prompts for missing packages
- **CUDA PyTorch Detection**: Automatically detect CPU-only PyTorch installations and offer to install the CUDA-enabled version
- **User-Friendly Error Messages**: Provide clear, actionable error messages with specific troubleshooting steps
- **Virtual Environment Guidance**: Detect virtual environments and provide appropriate warnings and guidance
- **Progress Feedback**: Show progress bars during installations for better user experience
## Benefits
- **Reduced Support Burden**: Common setup issues are caught and resolved automatically
- **Better User Experience**: Windows users get clear guidance instead of cryptic errors
- **GPU Support**: Automatically ensures users have CUDA-enabled PyTorch for optimal performance
- **Professional Appearance**: Polished interface with clear formatting and helpful prompts
## Implementation Details
The enhancement would:
- Check for missing dependencies using `importlib.util.find_spec()`
- Separate critical vs optional dependencies
- Detect CPU-only PyTorch by checking version string for "+cpu" indicator
- Provide interactive prompts for installation options
- Maintain full backward compatibility with existing functionality
## Additional Notes
- All installations would be optional (users can cancel at any time)
- The script would warn users about system Python vs virtual environment implications
- All existing functionality would be preserved
- The enhancement is designed to be safe and non-destructive
## Status
I have a complete PR ready to submit if this feature is desired. The implementation includes comprehensive dependency checking, CUDA PyTorch auto-installation, user-friendly error handling, and has been tested in various scenarios.

2. **Missing Critical Dependencies**: Manually uninstall one or more critical dependencies (e.g., `pyyaml`) and verify the script correctly identifies them
3. **Missing Optional Dependencies**: Uninstall an optional dependency and verify the script offers to install it or skip
4. **CPU-Only PyTorch**: Install a CPU-only version of PyTorch and verify the script detects it and offers to install the CUDA version
5. **CUDA-Enabled PyTorch**: Ensure a CUDA-enabled PyTorch is installed and verify the script proceeds directly to launching ComfyUI
6. **Virtual Environment**: Test running the script within an activated virtual environment
7. **System Python**: Test running the script with system Python (not in a virtual environment)
8. **Error Handling**: Verify that all error messages are clear, informative, and provide helpful troubleshooting steps
9. **Progress Bars**: Verify that progress bars display correctly during pip installations
10. **ASCII Art**: Confirm the ASCII art banner renders correctly in a standard Windows command prompt
## Technical Details
### UTF-8 Encoding
- Uses `chcp 65001` to enable UTF-8 encoding for proper Unicode character display
- Ensures ASCII art and box-drawing characters render correctly
### Dependency Checking
- Uses `importlib.util.find_spec()` to check for module availability
- Separates critical dependencies (required for ComfyUI to run) from optional dependencies
- Provides user with clear installation options
### CUDA PyTorch Detection
- Checks PyTorch version string for "+cpu" indicator
- Verifies CUDA availability using `torch.cuda.is_available()`
- Automatically updates CUDA availability variables after installation
- Continues to launch ComfyUI after successful installation
### Progress Bars
- Uses `--progress-bar on` flag for all pip installations
- Provides visual feedback during long installations (especially PyTorch)
## Backward Compatibility
- ✅ All changes are backward compatible
- ✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality
- ✅ Works with both system Python and virtual environments
- ✅ Existing users can continue using the script as before
## Benefits
1. **Improved User Experience**: Users get clear guidance on what's missing and how to fix it
2. **Reduced Support Burden**: Common issues are caught and resolved automatically
3. **Better Error Messages**: Users understand what went wrong and how to fix it
4. **Professional Appearance**: Polished interface with ASCII art and clear formatting
5. **GPU Support**: Automatically ensures users have CUDA-enabled PyTorch for optimal performance
## Additional Notes
- The script maintains all original functionality while adding new features
- All user prompts are optional - users can cancel at any time
- Installation commands use `python -m pip` for consistency
- Error handling provides actionable troubleshooting steps
- The script is designed to be safe and non-destructive
## Potential Concerns and Side Effects
### Installation Risks
- **System Python Modifications**: If run outside a virtual environment, this script will install packages to the system Python, which may affect other Python applications. The script warns users about this and recommends virtual environments.
- **Automatic PyTorch Installation**: The CUDA PyTorch installation is large (~2-3GB) and takes several minutes. Users are clearly warned before installation begins.
- **Package Conflicts**: Installing packages automatically could potentially conflict with existing packages, though this is mitigated by using standard pip installation methods.
### Virtual Environment Considerations
- The script detects virtual environments and provides appropriate warnings
- Users are informed about the implications of installing in system Python vs virtual environments
- The script does not force virtual environment usage, but provides guidance
### Backward Compatibility
- ✅ All existing functionality is preserved
- Users who don't want automatic installations can cancel at any prompt
- The script works identically to the original if all dependencies are already installed
### PR Size Note
While this PR is larger than typical first-time contributions (+694/-61 lines, 5 files), all changes are cohesive and focused on a single feature: enhancing the startup script. Splitting this into smaller PRs would reduce the value of each individual PR, as the features work together as a unified improvement. We request thorough review due to the size, but believe the cohesive nature justifies the scope.
## Request for Review
Given my limited coding experience, I would greatly appreciate:
- Code review focusing on batch file best practices
- Verification of Python command invocations
- Testing in various Windows environments
- Feedback on error handling and user prompts
- Suggestions for improvements
Thank you for your time and consideration!
