InvokeAI webUI doesn't open

[lilcdj]

I installed InvokeAI package and it looks start well but, when i open WebUI, it doesn't show InvokeUI.

It looks like InvokeAI applied some changes to the UI and how it is being installed. I assume that the upgrading process from an earlier version to 3.6 must reflect that change in StabilityMatrix as well. Here is the PR/issue from InvokeAI with more details: invoke-ai/InvokeAI#5253

I'll test if a new installation of InvokeAI will have a working UI again.

Edit: A new installation of InvokeAI using the latest available version of StabilityMatrix also results in "UI not found".

I was looking into this on the googles - it's because InvokeAI split their repo, so the WebUI has to be installed/built separately. Very annoying. StabilityMatrix will have to make some sort of adjustments to install both components. InvokeAI 3.6 looks amazing.
People directly installing InvokeAI are having this issue as well. Honestly, these two components should not have been broken up by the InvokeAI team.

The latest update (for StabilityMatrix) fixed this for me. It seems to install/setup the webui when launching, so we can use InvokeAI as before.

I'm getting StableDiffusion-StabilityMatrix\Data\Packages\InvokeAI\invokeai-root\models\core\convert\CLIP-ViT-bigG-14-laion2B-39B-b160k is missing
Had to manually delete InvokeAI directory (Stability Matrix failed to do it) and reinstall, works now. Takes forever to start though, it rechecks every model each time.

Should be fixed in https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix/releases/tag/v2.7.9 where we added the new node build steps for the InvokeAI frontend.

This issue persists in 2.12.4 Windows 11:
https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix/releases/latest/download/StabilityMatrix-win-x64.zip

'[InvokeAI]::WARNING --> No UI found at C:<local path>\StabilityMatrix\Packages\InvokeAI\invokeai\frontend\web/dist, skipping UI mount'

Does anyone care about wasting bandwidth anymore ?

Besides the lingering issues, some, if not most, could be solved
if StabilityMatrix checked compatibility before anything else,
in order to avoid wasting bandwidth and time downloading a package that is doomed to fail.

Another important UX issue is that "Open Web UI" should only be active when the package is ready.

I have that same error
