I’ve also had issues with this and would like to see a solution.

This is simply a bug - it’s lower on our priority list than others because it doesn’t affect critical functionality, just a convenience functionality in the designer.

Still here... 5 years later.

That's not "still here", that's a completely different error than the one already discussed in this thread.

That indicates a JDK bug, not an Ignition bug.

MattR · August 9, 2023, 5:36pm

Good to know, since I don't know beyond the error message.

Hi,

sometimes, when opening views of a project, this message appears:

What can I do? This happens every time I open a view.
To resolve this, I have to restart the server, but after a while, the issue occurs again.

Edvard_Wilhelms · November 14, 2023, 1:21pm

Same issue, really struggling with development since it pops up everytime a view is opened or component selected. I'm not proficient in this, so not 100% it's the same error but it sure looks like it. Much appreciated if someone with skills could give a recommendation for action.
