AY-1266_Nuke: outdated loader containers validation enhancements

Please describe the enhancement you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

tatiana_43379 : Nuke: outdated loader containers validation enhancements
tatiana_43379: From previous discussion:
Currently, all containers in the script, even if they are disabled, are included in the validation process. The ideal situation would be to only validate the connected container in the rendering stream. However, determining if a container is used in the stream could be a complex function. It is worth researching if this functionality is part of nukescripts. Alternatively, we could exclude disabled nodes from the validated nodes.

How would you imagine the implementation of the enhancemenent?

Description

Currently, all containers in the script, even if they are disabled, are included in the validation process. The ideal situation would be to only validate the connected container in the rendering stream. However, determining if a container is used in the stream could be a complex function. It is worth researching if this functionality is part of nukescripts. Alternatively, we could exclude disabled nodes from the validated nodes.

Tasks

• Research if nukescripts includes functionality to determine if a container is used in the rendering stream.
• Implement validation for only connected containers in the rendering stream.
• Exclude disabled nodes from the validated nodes if the above is not feasible.

• Research if nukescripts includes functionality to determine if a container is used in the rendering stream.

we've run nuke.selectConnectedNodes() on a script's write node + some basic node class checking to achieve this in the dark ages before ayon/openpype. Prerenders can be a problem though
