Interop methods are not registered for renderer

Error message

Interop methods are not registered for renderer ${rendererId}

What it means

Thrown by detachWebRendererInterop when no interop methods are registered for the given rendererId. Detach assumes the renderer was previously attached; calling it on an unknown id signals teardown ordering is wrong or detach was called twice. The method deletes the entry and returns the captured DotNetObjectReference.

Solutions

1. Guard detach with a check using isRendererAttached(rendererId) before calling.
2. Track attach state and only detach when you previously attached.
3. Avoid calling detach in a finally block unless you know attach succeeded.
4. Use try/catch around detach if it is best-effort cleanup.

Example fix

// before (throws if never attached)
detachWebRendererInterop(rendererId);

// after
if (isRendererAttached(rendererId)) {
  detachWebRendererInterop(rendererId);
}

if (isRendererAttached(rendererId)) {
  detachWebRendererInterop(rendererId);
} else {
  // nothing to detach — no-op or log
}

function canDetach(rendererId: number): boolean {
  return isRendererAttached(rendererId);
}

try { detachWebRendererInterop(rendererId); }
catch (e) {
  if (/not registered/.test(String(e?.message))) { /* benign double-detach */ }
  else { throw e; }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling detachWebRendererInterop for a rendererId that was never attached; calling detach twice (the first removes the entry, the second throws); tearing down after a failed attach.

Common situations: Error-handling/cleanup path that calls detach unconditionally; reconnect logic that detaches before attach completed; double-dispose of a renderer.
