NSInternalInconsistencyException trying to make a Trigger

I'm trying to create an Indigo Trigger on a device state change of one of my plugin devices. I pick my device and the next popup menu appears, but it stays empty, and the Indigo log says

Error (client) _updateDevStateKeyPopups() caught exception: NSInternalInconsistencyException -- Invalid parameter not satisfying: aString != nil

Uh... what does that mean? How did I offend Indigo's delicate sensibilities?

For what it's worth, here is the device's state definition:

Code: Select all

      <States>
         <State id="state" defaultValue="offline">
            <ValueType>
               <List>
                  <Option value="offline">Offline</Option>
                  <Option value="online">Online</Option>
                  <Option value="resolving">Resolving Address</Option>
                  <Option value="error">Error</Option>
               </List>
            </ValueType>
         </State>
      </States>

Never mind. It says that when I forget to put a TriggerLabel into the state:

Code: Select all

            <TriggerLabel>Device State</TriggerLabel>

Shouldn't the XML reader check for mandatory elements and complain at load time? That error message is not, uh, terribly helpful.

Yep - all the parsing was done originally in Cocoa and all required fields were checked. We moved some of it to Python just before alpha so that developers would have a hook. We haven't finished the required field checking in that parsing code yet.
