I have a model, attached, which shows a pop up error box when I load it saying "Cannot get value from invalid enumeration". Nothing seems to be flagged as an error, how can I find out what is wrong?

That error has been popping up erverywhere. I tracked it back to a commit but don't know what it is for

ping

any insights? Is there something Path is doing that causes this message?

I'm seeing this too and very predictably. It occurs whenever I add a job, even if there are no operations in the job. Save and reload causes the error.
I'm not sure how to debug this one.

Please check if it still happens with the latest master.

The problem with the old implementation of PropertyEnumeration::getValueAsString was that in case of an invalid enumeration value (e.g. the index is out of range) a null pointer is returned which in most cases the calling instance doesn't check and assign it to a std::string. However, assigning a null pointer to a std::string is invalid and raises a segfault.

To avoid to change all places where getValueAsString is used without further checks and to avoid future problems the method now raises an exception.
Now there was (at least) one place where the exception wasn't handled and caused the document load to not finish properly. This should be fixed now with: git commit 9faa7fc5

I think that's got it.

I still see "Enumeration index -1 is out of range, ignore it" in the report view but not the error.
