Hi,
I just tried creating a new tree and decided to follow the instruction.
When I selected the relationship view I got an error. I have tried creating a tree 3 times and always get an error trying that process.
I am using Windows 10 with Gramps 5.1.2, with the new Combined plugin installed.
Perhaps it might be a Windows thing.
I was just filing this particular initialization bug when I re-read your message. It is related to trying to view a blank tree with no people. It fails when trying to set the Active Person because no people exist to be made active.
It is directly connected to initialization of the ‘Combined’ developmental Relationships view mode. However, change the selected view category & restart Gramps after seeing it reported. Can cause continuing Navigator & toolbar problems in the session.
I am on Win10 and Gramps 5.1.2
No errors.
Just to clarify, I have been using gramps for 3 years and have a family tree with ~6000 people, with no problems. I am using the Relationships (combined) view when adding to my family tree and it is great.
I wanted to add a small tree just for a side research and it was with this empty tree that I saw a problem. I tried to open the Relationships view to add the first person from there and it caused the error. I used the People view to create the first person and after that the Relationships view opens with no error.
I recreated the probem with another new tree.

Thanks, Lionel
Fortunately, this is a simple bug that has been isolated & reported. It only occurs with Trees that have no people yet or where the Active Person is not yet defined.
Thanks for the follow-up. It will go away before the Combined View moves out of Development and into general release.
