External OSL Texture needs recompiling on doc load

[pegot]

I see that in latest version of Octane Blender (2020.1 21.7) the issue with the disappearing input pins on OSL Text nodes has been fixed. However, I still have to recompile the script each time I load the file again. Is that normal? Do external OSL scripts always have to be recompiled each time the file is open?

I also just took the same external script and wrote it into the OSL node as an internal script - but it still needs recompiling on every new document load after closing Blender.

OSL nodes get compiled when you start the preview or a render.

That's not happening with my set up. I'm using the OSL blur shader. And I have to recompile it every time I close Bender and then upon that file again. Maybe the blur code is different than other OSL textures that causes this?

Can you please share a simple scene showing the issue? Thanks!

Ok. See attached blend file. The OSL node is part of the environment texture. It blurs a procedural texture.

I've tried the scene in the current internal build. OSL nodes are compiled correctly, but the whole scene doesn't render on my system. We'll take a deeper look.

This appears fixed with the latest 21.8 release. Thanks!
