Roblox update? Exception while signaling: Must be a LuaSourceContainer

I keep seeing this error pop up as of recent. It only seems to happen in local scripts, as I can never click it to see the line that is causing it. As it is only happening as of recent, is it from some new update? Everything seems to be working as it should be. Could someone please indicate what it means and whether it is relevant?

Can you send the script you think it is originating from?

A LuaSourceContainer is the source of all scripts, so it’s probably something that went wrong internally. I’ve seen this error being talked about a lot around the forum recently, and it seems to happen only in scripts with a lot of recursive code.

I received this error today, which is the first time I’ve ever seen it. Like you said, everything is working fine despite the error message.

In my case, it showed up immediately after one of my top bar buttons (which use TopbarPlus) created an OOP window with four buttons inside of it (which also use OOP).

I guess it’s nothing to worry about, but that error sounds ominous, like it’s warning me that one of these times, something will break.

That’s exactly how I feel when I see it. I’ve only seen it in my games maybe once or twice, but no one really seems to know what it means or what it will do.

I am having this issue as of the last update it seems. Never had these before in my game.
