" Uncaught exception in Thread[GuardManager poll timer,5,main]" Error in RS log / Robot Run

ISSUE

A poll timer error randomly displayed when a robot was ran.

CAUSE

Defect 1029291.

SOLUTION

This is a programming error and can be triggered by race conditions when evaluating a guard in the robot. When this occurs, a robot's guard might yield an unexpected result, causing the robot to fail or continue processing after logging the error. A reproduction scenario has not yet been identified.
