Hello, I'm getting this console error:

consistency check failed: editor

seemingly when trying to send an internal message as part of an abstraction's creation. The message is the following:

"pd-receive-$0" is a subpatch used inside this abstraction.

The thing is I couldn't find any helpful resources online to understand what exactly this error means, so that I can understand the steps to take to avoid or solve it. I thought it was something to do with the "editmode" status of the subpatch at the time of the mouse instructions, but I tried different things without any success...

Anyone know something about it?
The patch in itself seems to work, but I'd like to know what I'm missing.
Thank you!

It's definitely something to do with the dynamic patching, though it could be a connection made twice, but I just checked and this gives another messages in Pd's console. Why don't you try to send these messages one by one and see which one actually triggers the error?

@CarloFavero it is because the window is not visible, try clicking on a window that is not open sometime. Try this.

pd-receive-$0 vis 1;
pd-receive-$0 editmode 1;
pd-receive-$0 mouse 15 15 0 0;
pd-receive-$0 cut;
pd-receive-$0 obj 10 10 r step-last;
pd-receive-$0 connect 1 0 0 0;
pd-receive-$0 vis 0;

As an aside, if you do not need to stick to vanilla than iemguts really makes life easier when it comes to dynamic patching.

Edit: It is often easier/more clear if you just send a [clear( to the subpatch and repatch the entire thing, this allows you to skip the mouse emulation which allows you to skip the editmode and vis stuff as well. This means you want to reduce the subpatch to its bare minimum and make it only contain the bits which must be dynmic so you do not have a large amount of objects to deal with and also means you need to replace inlets/outlets with sends and receives since even with iemguts reconnecting the i\o is more work than just using sends and receives in the first place.

Thank you!
I'll try tomorrow your solution, thank you!

I wasn't using [clear( specifically 'cause I needed the outlet of the subpatch already connected, but I completely missed the simple workaround of using send and return! I think I'll switch to this solution, but I'll try the "vis" message just for the sake of knowledge!

Thank you a lot, this forum turned out to be an awesome place!

I'll report here for future reference:

Using "vis 1" to temporarily show the subpatch window before the edit solved the console errors.
Using "clear" to empty the whole subpatch before recreating the needed objects and connections works without the need to toggle the visibility and/or the editmode.

@oid thank you again for your help!
