description: Author ComfyUI-LoRA-Manager nodes from the panel. Use when adding a LoRA Manager loader, stacker, prompt, or text node, or when panel_add_node refuses AUTOCOMPLETE_TEXT_LORAS / AUTOCOMPLETE_TEXT_PROMPT after waiting for a widget.

# ComfyUI-LoRA-Manager

[ComfyUI-LoRA-Manager](https://github.com/willmiao/ComfyUI-Lora-Manager) (willmiao)

registers rich Vue autocomplete widgets via `getCustomWidgets()`. Those widgets

are healthy in the ComfyUI menu — drag-from-palette works — but **`panel_add_node`

cannot add the nodes that require them**.

The add-node guard polls `app.widgets` for a constructor. ComfyUI 1.49+ stores

`getCustomWidgets()` results in the frontend widget store, not on `app.widgets`.

The wait always expires after 5s. Reload, `panel_refresh_nodes`, and retry

**cannot** clear it. That refusal is not a missing pack.

## Which nodes `panel_add_node` will actually add

| Works | Refuses (AUTOCOMPLETE_TEXT_*) |

|---|---|

| `LoRA Text Loader (LoraManager)` | `Lora Loader (LoraManager)` |

| core `LoraLoader` | `Lora Stacker (LoraManager)` |

| core `LoraLoaderModelOnly` | `WanVideo Lora Select (LoraManager)` |

| | `Text (LoraManager)` |

| | `Prompt (LoraManager)` |

`LoRA Text Loader (LoraManager)` is the same backend as `Lora Loader

(LoraManager)` (MODEL / CLIP / `trigger_words` / `loaded_loras`). The difference

is the LoRA input: `lora_syntax` is a **STRING socket** (`forceInput`), so a

regular string node or `panel_set_widget` can drive it.

Syntax (spaces or punctuation between entries):

```

<lora:lora_name:strength>

<lora:lora_name:model_strength:clip_strength>

```

## Recipe — stack a LoRA from the panel

1. `panel_add_node(class_type="LoRA Text Loader (LoraManager)")`. Do **not** add

`Lora Loader (LoraManager)` — it will wait 5s and refuse.

2. Wire `MODEL` (and `CLIP` if you have one) through it.

3. Drive `lora_syntax` with `panel_set_widget` or a wired STRING, e.g.

`<lora:style/foo.safetensors:0.8>`.

4. Put the node's `trigger_words` output into the prompt if the sidecar has any.

If LoRA Manager is not installed, use core `LoraLoader` and set `lora_name` /

`strength_model` / `strength_clip` as usual.

## Gotchas

- The refusal names a tab reload. **Do not follow that.** The constructor will

never appear on `app.widgets`.

- `panel_set_widget` on `text` after a refused add never runs — nothing was

created. The working widget name is `lora_syntax`.

- A freshly added Text Loader still needs `lora_syntax` written; an empty

string loads no LoRA.
