UI Input Module breaks on reload

Using the New Input system's UI Input Module, every time i hot-reload my game after a code edit, the UI interaction stops working forcing me to quit play mode and re-enter. It's pretty annoying. The current fix is to just use the old Standalone Input Module with the old input system

This is probably a known issue (if not, i can report it), but are there any plans to fix this?

 

Actions unfortunately don't support domain reloads in play mode ATM. While a known issue, feel free to report it as an issue with the bug reporter, though.

 

Reported it privately, but I don't know how to submit it to the public "vote on what we should fix" forum (everything points to unity feedback which is dead).

Workaround:

Re-create the controls in OnEnable(). Not sure how reliable this is, but it seems to work.

Code (CSharp):

1. public void OnEnable()
2. {
3.     // Unity input doesn't support reloads, so it may get wiped.
4.     if (m_Controls == null)
5.     {
6.         m_Controls = new SimpleControls();
7.     }
8.     // end modification
9.     m_Controls.Enable();
10. }
11.  

If this is the interim solution, could you add it to the importable sample code?

 

Any news on this? It's definitely a workflow killer to have to restart the app anytime I change the code.

To clarify in my case, I have code which directly checks the inputs, using Mouse.current. That code still works.

But I also use EventSystem, and that just seems to stop firing.

In the meantime, I reverted to the legacy input.

Edit: Using InputSystem 1.0.2 on Unity2020.3.0f1
