Original bug ID: BZ#530 From: @lhstrh Reported version: unspecified CC: accessors-devel@terraswarm.org

cxbrooks commented 7 years ago

To reproduce:

specify an accessor with a trigger and an input handler that sends an output on some output port;
save the accessor definition and hook the accessor up to a discrete clock;
right-click on the actor and go to the "ports" dialog and rename the port that is the input handler sends data on;
run the model.

Errors are being thrown each iteration, but the model is not stopped. Error windows pile up faster than they can be clicked away.

Possible solutions:

Report the error once, then stop the model;
Report the error silently, on the console;
Check whether all required ports are present in preinitialize(), or after attempting to make any port modifications through the GUI.
