Some GLib-GObject issues while exporting a STEP model

[Leandro Heck]

See the attached image.

There are 2 GLib-GObject-CRITIAL's and 2 WARNINGS too.

Is it something that Kicad comunity should care?

I also got this on terminal. A more descriptive message would be better to make users aware of whats going on here.

The exported step model looks good.

Would you be a able to provide the project for which these errors occur? It will help in diagnosing the issue.

This is a WX bug: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/18274

It's annoying, but harmless to us. It is seen whenever any WX 3.0.4 or older WX shutsdown under GTK+3. It was fixed on the master and 3.0 WX branches, so it'll be in 3.0.5 and also 3.2.

There is sadly no a lot we can do about it, unless there's a way to silence these assertions just before shutdown.

Unit tests also suffer from it.

Thanks for the explanation.

What about the "unknown references" displayed only in Linux terminal but not in the export window?

What does it mean?
