Messages for troubleshooting

The Designer provides a Messages panel which you can show or hide. This panel is dockable in any position within the main panel or can be a separate window.
The Messages panel displays a list of messages, see the following figure.

The Messages panel
You can filter the list according to the severity level as shown. By default, only messages of level Severe and above are shown.
The messages help you to debug your style rules.
If you expand a message, you can see the details of the style rule and styling property value that caused the error. You can double-click the style rule listed below the message to highlight:
  • The rule in the Style rules hierarchy
  • The affected nodes in the Diagram (if any)
  • The property setting in the Styling Customizer (if the cause was a property setting)
