New added StopCoroutine(Coroutine coroutine) override function causes errors.

Guys, I've had this issue as well but I resolved it. Posting to see if this will help others.

TLDR. Make sure to use the StopCoroutine method on the class(instance) that contains the actual coroutine.

For me.
StopCoroutine(action.coroutineReference); // caused an error (but still worked)

action.StopCoroutine(action.coroutineReference); // has no error messages

Where action is my other class that contained the coroutine.

*Story time*
In my situation, my Coroutine is stored in a seperate script (inside an 'Action' class). Because coroutines is a monobehaviour I had to do the whole gameObject.addcomponent to add it to my component instead of declaring a new class, and then I'd call a function which starts the coroutine in that class.

I tried to use StopCoroutine on my main gameObject, which 'worked' but produced that error.
To fix it, i just used the StopCoroutine method from within the action class, and the error message is gone. I believe it has something to do with mixing up order of operations when you have one command to 'stop coroutine' in one object, while the actual coroutine exists in another object.

 

i was having the same bug But then i fixed it using this syntax

Code (CSharp):

1. StartCoroutine (StartGettingData());
2. StopCoroutine ("StartGettingData");

This seemes to stop the annoying error message in consol
i was using

Code (CSharp):

1. IEnumerator StartGettingData () {
2. .
3. .
4. .
5. .
6. yield return www1;
7. }

 

I have this error on 5.3 and 5.4 .. It doesn't matter if I use string to stop coroutine. No error if I do StopAllcoroutine.

 

Still getting this after 5.3.4 and 5.4 beta 18

 

Hi，do you solve this problem? It is annoying me!

 

Nope. Not solved.

 

How are you starting/stopping the coroutine?

This causes no errors:

Code (csharp):

1. var coroutine = StartCoroutine(SomeRoutine());
2. ...
3. StopCoroutine(coroutine);

 

I have tried that too... it seems to be unclear on what actually triggers it.

I have tried all 3 of them. StopAllCoroutine. Stop using string name , stop using the method above.

 

I'm seeing this too on my laptop, Unity 5.5.0f3. I wasn't seeing it last night on my desktop.

 

I am using Unity 2017.1 and was getting the error. I got rid of it by following advice: used IEnumerator instead of Coroutine and put my StopCoroutine code in the same class that has the routine I'm stopping.

So far, so good!

 

I think it triggers when you do

Code (CSharp):

1. Coroutine c = _myOtherMonobehavior.StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
2. this.StopCoroutine(c);

Just got it in 2018.2.0f2

 

This a really necro-necro post.

Also, you're stopping coroutine that runs on the other behaviour, which you shouldn't do.
Hence StopCoroutine is actually checks if coroutine is running on the specific behaviour, not all of them.

If you wish to stop the coroutine created that way, make sure to call StopCoroutine on the same behaviour it was created on. E.g.:

Code (CSharp):

1. _myOtherMonoBehaviour.StopCoroutine(c);

 

Have this issue when using:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(workC != null)
2.         StopCoroutine(workC);

Still got this bug in Version 2021.3.7f1
