Could you post which version of Noir you are using? This panic should no longer be hit as it was removed in this PR (#2347) which is included in release 0.10.4.

Yeah, you are right the error is not there in 0.10.4, but I ran the same code with the new version and it gives the error below now. @vezenovm

This panic is not descriptive enough, but this should be fixed in this PR (#2446). I will run this example against it to check. The PR is currently blocked by another bug that I am working on.

Looks like this issue is resolved with PR #2446, this issue will be updated once that PR is merged.
