Discussion If you can't give a stack trace that includes any code I have access to, I don't want to hear it.

I get so tired of Editor leaks. Every time I hit Play, I get chaff in the console. Well, not EVERY time. Just any time there's an object selected. Or an Inspector tab is visible. Or I use a package from <somePublisher>. Or some other mystical dance-in-the-moonlight coincidence I can't reproduce in a small project.

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. UnityEditor.SceneView.CallOnPreSceneGUI () (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Editor/Mono/SceneView/SceneView.cs:3693)
3. UnityEditor.SceneView.DoOnPreSceneGUICallbacks (UnityEngine.Rect cameraRect) (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Editor/Mono/SceneView/SceneView.cs:2248)
4. UnityEditor.SceneView.DoOnGUI () (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Editor/Mono/SceneView/SceneView.cs:2330)
5. UnityEditor.SceneView.OnSceneGUI () (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Editor/Mono/SceneView/SceneView.cs:2255)
6. UnityEngine.UIElements.IMGUIContainer.DoOnGUI (UnityEngine.Event evt, UnityEngine.Matrix4x4 parentTransform, UnityEngine.Rect clippingRect, System.Boolean isComputingLayout, UnityEngine.Rect layoutSize, System.Action onGUIHandler, System.Boolean canAffectFocus) (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/ModuleOverrides/com.unity.ui/Core/IMGUIContainer.cs:351)
7. UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&) (at /Users/bokken/build/output/unity/unity/Modules/IMGUI/GUIUtility.cs:189)

Notice all the /Users/bokken stuff, that's not my username. That's Unity's MacOS build CI/CD platform, I guess. None of the code here is code that I have access to. None of it points any blame at anything I am doing, so I can stop doing it. It's just chaff.

If you can't tell me a line of code or a package that I have any control over, just suppress the message by default.

 

Which Unity version?

 

Any of the 2021.3 LTS builds have been giving me 3 such messages on each Play for me this week. And then it won't for a few hours. And then it will again. And it's nothing special, it's been like this for years, maybe different exact lines but the general "we're telling you something bad happened inside the black box but nothing to diagnose or fix the problem."

 

Yeah, this irks me, too. We've got a couple of traceless errors popping up, one of which is especially spammy.

That said, I don't want them suppressed. I want more data so I can fix it or work around it. If a stack trace isn't possible, point me to the data which was being used at the time, or something.

Another thought: make them a separate class of error in the console so they can be toggled off without hiding my own errors.

 

I had the opposite happen recently, oddly enough. Been working on an property drawer for the addressables asset reference field, and was getting an error that had the entire stack trace only up to my own code that called the method in the addressables API that was actually throwing the error. Had to step through the code to figure out what/why was causing the issue (spoiler, bad code on Unity's part; had to use reflection to stop the issue).

But I agree these uninformative errors are a pain. Especially the 'objects are trying to loaded during a domain reload' which gives you nothing to figure out the issue.

 

I have same issue with whole stacktrace getting spammed on every log and honestly it is useless got enough of my own errors don't care to fix random editor bugs anyway. Plus majority of call sequence is not accessible anyway.
Any clue what is causing that change in logs behaviour? Would be cool if editor had options on how to display logs.

I've got a few weird bugs like once or twice a day the editor will throw up the prompt asking to auto upgrade outdated API, but there isn't any outdated api in the project...hitting don't upgrade doesn't show any errors. Hitting upgrade outdated API throws an error: "APIUpdater encountered some issues and was not able to finish."
