Errors in the textport related to menu parameter

Bugs
1

Hello

Not sure if this is really a bug, but I have this very specific case where I have some errors in the textport when my project opens. It’s not really a big problem because the error is only there on startup it seems and then is resolved, but I’d like to know what’s going on here.

Essentially, I have a component (that is saved externally) which has a menu parameter that is bound to a property inside an extension. This menu is being populated dynamically by using tdu.ParMenu and referencing columns in a table. On opening the project I get an attribute error that I see in the textport, it’s not a big deal but still curious what I’m doing wrong here.

I’ve included a very simplified example:

test.zip (5.9 KB)

Thanks in advance!

Just for some extra info (if ever it could help), I was using this exact same code in TD 2023 versions and I don’t get the errors in the textport.

Thanks for the report on this and the helpful example. I just wanted to let you know that this is fixed now in a future update to TouchDesigner and that you can ignore the messages for now.

The problem was related to how the external tox replaces a placeholder comp during loading that exists in the main toe file. It was just that temporary placeholder comp that was producing the error which is why it doesn’t affect how the network operates once everything is loaded.
