integer input in Component Node fails to generate variable

[azijlstra]

Hi,

When I wrap an “Integer Input” node into a Components Node (replacement of wrapped meta nodes) the resulting variable does not exit the Components Node. I tried many different configurations. The Integer input node generates the variable but it is not accessible in the workflow.

Similarly, I am unable to feed variables into the component using flowvariable connections.

Hi @azijlstra -

Perhaps you are running into the issue discussed here?

Flow variables cannot be used as inputs for Components?

Dear Knimers, Metanodes can take both tables and flowvariables (among other types) as inputs. But this does not seem to be the case for Components. In the example below the Metanode and the Component have the same content: [image] In the metanode everything looks fine: [image] …but in the Component, the input variables are gone and the Java Edit Variable node complains “no such variable”: [image] Is this by design? If yes, what is the philosophy behind it? See the attached workflow. tmp…

Thanks Scott,

Makes sense. I managed to fix the problem using the integer configuration node and by passing variables between components as indicated in the video
