error messages meaning

[denisnooby]

The general question is How to find out the meaning of a message.
The specific question is what is the meaning of :No extension found of type 'PartGui::ViewProviderAttachExtension'

I think the file is OK.
Thanks.

Looks like you're opening the file with an old FreeCAD version.
Could you post your full info as indicated in the link of the red banner ?

Does the error message appear each time you do a recompute of the whole doc (RMB on the doc title in the treeview -> Select 'Mark to recompute' -> Hit 'F5' key) ?

Here is what is in the report window. The F5 key is mapped to my screen brightness. Is there an alternative?

Better use the 'code' tag to include the traces. It's more readable.
Alternatively to pressing F5, you can use the Std Refresh button.
I don't see the error in the trace you posted, so has it vanished ?

I have to try the code tag. I look I what I posted and I cannot distinguish if from what I see on my screen. I did a preview, and it looked unchanged from what I saw in my report window, so I posted it. What will the code tag do in this case? Switch to mono type?

The error did not show up.

The error did not show up

So do you think it was a glitch and everything's OK now ?

I assume so. I will watch what messages I get in the future. But this begs the question: "How to interpret error messages?"

Actually it greatly depends on the deepness where the error happens. Some messages are intended to the user and easy to understand (these are even generally displayed in a message box), some are only understandable by advanced users that know a bit of the internals, some finally are only meaningful to developers and ones able to browse the source code.
These latter ones are probably the most awkward for standard user because they are disturbing and not really sensible, but they are needed to help find and fix bugs and other issues. You probably got one of these.
