Get_tree() method soft failing with error. Why?

Question

I have a sanity check in a method to verify if the scene tree exists and it works fine. The thing is, I get a debugger error. I’d like to understand why it’s relevant.

I call it thus:

	if get_tree() != null:
		get_tree().create_timer(0.15).connect("timeout", Callable(self, "_health_flash_timer"))

This generates the following Debugger error:

I know I can just ignore it. It’s not really an issue as the game works fine. But I’m wondering if maybe there is a better way that I’m not seeing right now.

Thanks.

Try if is_inside_tree() instead

Yeah, that does work, thanks.

Also, I checked that method’s doc and, ironically, it suggests to read on get_tree(). I hadn’t read the latter and it is stated that get_tree() will generate an error if null.

I’m just wondering why it is necessary to throw the error.
