Kicad 6: EESchema ERC false negative
Description
I have migrated to Kicad 6.0 and am experiencing an issue with the Electrical Rule Checker. More precisely, it does not give me a "Input pin not driven by any Output pins" error when it is expected.
Steps to reproduce
- Insert a symbol with a pin that is set as "Input" (e.g. "AP2161W")
- Annotate
- Run ERC : it will complain the input pin is not connected
- Add a wire to this PIN, and place a net label for a signal that does not exist anywhere else in the schematic (e.g. "FOOBAR")
- Run ERC again
Expected result
ERC should complain that the input is not driven, since there is no actual output pin with the same net label
Actual result
No error/warning reported by ERC regarding this PIN
