Error: Vector sweep not found

Schematic Simulation (Ngspice)
1

This is a total newbie problem I am sure. I set up a very basic circuit which consists of only two resistors in a voltage divider circuit in order to teach myself using simple example. When I try to do a DC Sweep simulation I get the error “Vector Sweep not found”.

You can see my screenshots here:

Any thoughts?

Update:
I have just rewatched one of the video tutorials pinned on this forum and noticed that the the commentator also got the same error but he just seemed to ignore it and push the play button and there seemed to be no problem.

Indeed this message may be ignored here.

But it is annoying. I will check this with KiCad and ngspice. The message may be improved, best avoided at all.

I have made a bug report, see Irritating ngspice error message 'vector sweep not found' when choosing a signal to plot (#19600) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
