Now that I found which component is “expiring during a solution” (whatever that means), I find that it is still doing it’s evil deeds… [Disabled but still evil] This is the Terminator of components… EDIT : I think I understand what is happening here This error message appears when I delete some…

@osuire that is not a standard component. As such, it can pretty much do whatever it wants. Also disregard Grasshopper solving rules. Which assembly does it come from?

Hi Giulio, this is an Elefront component. It allows to change the proprerties of a Rhino object : -Key -Value -Rhino name -Layer -Color -Material It fills a huge pothole in the standard array of GH components, in my opinion, much like a “Bake” component, and Block-related components we’ve be…

@osuire The first thing you’d have to do is contact the developer of the Elefront add-on and let them know about this problem. I’m glad you find it useful and there should be ways for them to prevent the error. [image] osuire: but a man’s gotta eat. :slight_smile: The error is most likely d…

@piac if that is indeed the bug, would Grasshopper not throw this error every time that the component is added to the canvas and/or activated? I’ve never come across this error throughout our use of the component, and I think @osuire is saying it’s happening while the component is disabled. A quick…

[image] piac: This is pretty dramatic. If left alone, this problem would escalate immediately, and probably result in a stack overflow. This is probably exactly what’s happening : I didn’t mention it, but after displaying three times the Breakpoint (incidentally, I KNOW there were 3 missing G…

[image] osuire: shoot it in the head with the task manager. semi-serious question: is there a way to automate the launch of taskmgr every time Grasshopper is started?

[image] krahimzadeh: would Grasshopper not throw this error every time that the component is added to the canvas and/or activated? The component can listen to events even if it is “disabled”. I have no idea about the source code and only that can tell. I also don’t know who developed this cod…

[image] piac: Yes, there could be something that creates this infinite loop. I don’t know. Remember that when you use third-party add-ins, you take the awesome bounties in those, but also the additional risk of new bugs also from those add-ins. Are you sure you really want to push that button…

@osuire I kindly asked above for a repeatable case. Can you provide it? I also modified the title, and now will ask you to please keep on the subject.

[image] piac: I kindly asked above for a repeatable case. Can you provide it? Yes, but that will imply that you install a bunch of those risky plugins :wink:

Disabled component expires during solution

Grasshopper

@osuire I created the first add-in for Grasshopper that ever appeared. I am aware of the risks. We have at times discussed about first loading add-ins in the Windows Sandbox.
