Error calling deferred method: 'PinJoint2D::Joint2D::_update_joint': Method expected 1 arguments, but called with 0. Error on project start.

Tested versions

EDIT: Reproducible with: Godot v4.3.dev (29b3d9e)

EDIT: I will update with a better starting commit later if this isn't solved before I find it. My previous "working"/"not working" commits were mistaken.
It seems like this error started some time back though.

For sure it does not happen in 4.2.1, so it is a new error for 4.3, at least in this project.

System information

Godot v4.3.dev (29b3d9e) - Windows 10.0.22621 - GLES3 (Compatibility) - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (NVIDIA; 31.0.15.5186) - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor (24 Threads)

Issue description

New error on code that works in 4.2.1:

ERROR: Error calling deferred method: 'PinJoint2D::Joint2D::_update_joint': Method expected 1 arguments, but called with 0.
   at: CallQueue::_call_function (core\object\message_queue.cpp:223)

Steps to reproduce

Start up the Godot Physics-Based Platformer 2D demo project and it shows this error immediately:

ERROR: Error calling deferred method: 'PinJoint2D::Joint2D::_update_joint': Method expected 1 arguments, but called with 0.
   at: CallQueue::_call_function (core\object\message_queue.cpp:223)
ERROR: Error calling deferred method: 'PinJoint2D::Joint2D::_update_joint': Method expected 1 arguments, but called with 0.

Can you do a bisect to pinpoint what commit actually introduced this? You're listing a period of 3 months

Also can you try a recent commit? You're testing a 2 months old commit

Sorry I wasn't clear, it happens on Master too, the latest version.

But yes, I can do some more checking to figure out what point it actually happened started happening. I was attempting to do that, but now realize I failed, sorry. I'll update when I find the precise commit.

Again though, it also happens on Master. I was just trying to pinpoint when it started, but clearly didn't do a great job of that.

It's good to list the current version if you want to make sure people know it's still occurring

@AThousandShips

I believe the error messages started at this point:
ba96dbb...087a397

Yes, that is some months ago, but building 087a397 (and later) produces the error when running the demo project, while building from ba96dbb (and earlier) does not.

got this bug too on 4.3 dev 5
