@svandenb-dev I can't reproduce this bug. Are you sure you are using the most recent version of pyedb-core? And what AEDT install are you using? I was testing with R25.2 which should be pretty much the same as R25.1 at this point.

I still have this issue with recent 25.2 build

@svandenb-dev Ah, ok I think I see what the issue is. The component property returns the ComponentGroup that the object in question is part of. In this case, that object is a ComponentGroup which is not part of another ComponentGroup. As a result, the object returned by the component property is null (note that the is_null property returns true). An assertion is thrown when a null object is accessed which is why you are seeing all the tracebacks in PyCharm. I'm going to close this out for now but let me know if there us a different behavior that is expected.
