Resolved NetworkVariable<bool> causes InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid

I noticed that one of my prefabs was generating invalid cast exceptions when selected in the editor, out of runtime. I made an empty game object and copied the script that generated the error into a new test script. I narrowed it down and found that it was NetworkVariable<bool> that causes this. So, I deleted everything else in the script, so this is now the only line in the script: "public NetworkVariable<bool> test = new NetworkVariable<bool>();" but it still generates the error in the editor. The variable works fine at runtime. What is going on? Is this an error in the editor itself because I really can't see what should be wrong with this?

So, it seems that making the variable public is the cause. Don't really get why, is this not allowed? I'm new to Netcode

 

Using [HideInInspector] allows me to keep the variable public and prevents the editor from throwing any errors. This can't be intended behavior, right?

 

No it's a bug in NGO 1.6, updating to 1.7 should fix it.

 

Thanks, I'll try updating.
