Screenshot

I've tried changing controlnet models, removing / redownloading models, Added the exact file path in settings for controlnet models.

I am lost on why this issue pertains and how to solve it. I've seen multiple cases online with no solution unfortunately.
Any suggestion welcome
Cheers

Reproduce the failure with the listed Flux and ControlNet model files, then start at extensions-builtin/sd_forge_controlnet/scripts/controlnet.py:414 and trace how the selected model reaches the assertion. Compare the listed model types and the recognition path. Done means generation no longer raises AssertionError: None for a supported configuration.
