HB PMV Comfort Map 1.10.0 fails at CreateIrradianceContribMap with _collection_type / collectiontype error

Hi everyone,

I was running HB PMV Comfort Map 1.7.0 without problems but since I updated to version 1.10.0, I got a repeated failure in CreateIrradianceContribMap.

The recipe failed with:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_collection_type'

The log shows that most upstream tasks succeed, including spherical view factors, direct sky, direct sun, total sky, and ground reflected sky tasks. The failure happens specifically during Shortwave MRT Delta map calculation inside irradiancecontribmap.

I also tried these below attempts:

  • removed all dynamic aperture group components,

  • removed dynamic schedules of the aperture groups,

  • deleted the previous simulation output folders,

  • removed the HB Annual Daylight Metrics component,

but I still got the same error.

So this seems like the recipe is receiving a string where it expects a Ladybug/Honeybee DataCollection object. The failure appears to be inside the PMV comfort map workflow itself, not from leftover files in the simulation folder.

Has anyone seen this with HB PMV Comfort Map 1.10.0? Is this a known compatibility issue or a bug in the shortwave MRT / irradiance contribution step? Or is there a key modification in the component HB Model To OSM from version 1.7.2 to 1.10.0 that changes how the shortwave MRT is calculated? It also seems strange to me that the energy results, such as EUI and thermal comfort results from LB PMV Comfort are still being simulated without error, while it only happens with HB PMV Comfort Map.

Thanks so much in advance!
