"Unexpected Node Type." error spamming console after unity upgrade

Hey all,
I just upgraded our project from 2021.1.2f1 to 2021.2.0f1 and after re-compile (and startup) the log is spammed with the following 3 red errors (spammed multiple times):

Unexpected node type.

UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorCompilationInterface:TickCompilationPipeline (UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorScriptCompilationOptions,UnityEditor.BuildTargetGroup,UnityEditor.BuildTarget,int,string[])

----

Unexpected node type.

Unexpected node type.

UnityEditor.EditorAssemblies:ProcessInitializeOnLoadAttributes (System.Type[])

Has anyone seen this, and can anyone recommend some steps?

 

Hi, we do have the same issue, any info on how to fix it or what throws it would be awesome.

 

I'm getting this error too—it's thrown 16x whenever I load my scene or exit playmode. I'm also having trouble getting some changes to material values to persist—e.g. I'll turn 'Emission' on on a material, it'll look right, then when I load scene/exit playmode the Emission flag will have reverted. Not sure if it's related to the node thing, but the property reversion seems to be happening at the same time as the node errors.

 

Here is mine:

I tried an update to 1.6.1 and it did not work.
I see there was a unity upgrade, I will try that.

My project is 40gb, so I don't want to try and submit it cause it will fail.

 

Same here 1.6.1. Error is exactly 32 times.

 

I got this error but it was due to a poorly serialised JSON file in my assets folder (an asmdef) - reserialising the file fixed it

 

So the fix would be to re-gen all asmdefs ?

 

Interested to know if this would be a solution.
How would someone go about re-genning all asmdefs?

 

If it's relevant - I did get this message when I updated my project the first time:


( https://gyazo.com/75e822fa4d91785a6a3449425296021a )

 

I had the same issue, but fixed it by updating a package (https://github.com/prefrontalcortex/UnityGLTF) that somehow got broken in the upgrade process. I'm not sure if a new version of the repository fixed the issue, or if it was just some broken serialization references.

 

I'm using the same package, but sadly reinstalling it did not fix the error for me. I'm not even using Burst!

 

Facing the same error upgrading from 2020.3.19f1 to 2021.2.2f1. None of the above solutions have worked for me yet.

EDIT: I'm able to get around the issue by selecting the new 'Clean Build' dropdown option in Build Settings.

 

So I've narrowed this down to an add on product: Visual Design Cafe
Removing that from the project removed the errors. I have also submitted a bug report with a link to the project, but I have not yet received an email confirmation, so I can't really drop the Id here.

 

I'm also seeing this, and I also have Visual Design Cafe in the project (for Nature Renderer, etc.)

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/terrain/nature-renderer-personal-license-153552.

I've opened a support request with Visual Design Cafe, but some Unity help here would be appreciated (I'll bet that author is not going to know what the problem is from this error which has no real information in it.)

 

We submitted a ticket as well to Visual Design Cafe. It took a few days, but we got the following reply:
TLDR: the unity version is not yet supported, he's working on it.

 

Had the same "unexpected node type" error after upgrading to Unity 2021.2 from 2021.1. The culprit was a DLL for cursor control. I fixed it by disabling the Linux x64 option in Platform settings on that dll, playing a scene, and then reenabling that option. Probably really specific but hope this helps someone out there!

 

I tried before and had no success, looks like it worked this time:
Case 1386318

 

Did anyone here manage to get NatureRenderer work with 2021.2?

I got those node errors, too, but that was not all. When I tried to add NatureRenderer to a terrain (at runtime, either by script or manually in inspector), it failed because of an assertion failure related to materials. I tried to completely remove and reinstall NatureRenderer but it didn't help. Then I tried adding {} to the end of all dll.meta lines with invalid platformData lines but after that, there was a compilation error because NatureRenderer was not found at all in some cs file - then I rage quitted and decided to stop wasting more time on this and go back to the old Unity version (and possibly retry again when a new NR version comes...)

 

Hi all, we looked into this error and managed to fix it for our plugins. The following versions contain the fix:

• Nature Renderer 1.5.2 - You can go to Help > Nature Renderer > Check for Updates to download the update, or download it from the Asset Store.
• Nature Shaders 1.0.9 - You can go to Help > Nature Shaders > Check for Updates to download the update, or download it from the Asset Store
• Package Manager 1.4.2 - You can open Window > Package Manager (Visual Design Cafe) to download the latest version.
• Realistic Meadow - Update will be uploaded to the Asset Store in a few days. You can already update the Package Manager and Nature Shaders to fix the error as described above.
• Open World Nature Kit - Update will be uploaded to the Asset Store in a few days. You can already update the Package Manager and Nature Shaders as described above.

The problem was indeed caused by a corrupt meta file for some of our plugins. The platform-specific import settings got stripped from the meta files of the plugins during our build process. We have fixed our build process so the meta files get exported correctly.

Thank you @andrew_skowronski for looking into this.

 

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
{
GetComponent<Renderer> ().material.color = Color.red;
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.G))
{
GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.green;
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.B))
{
GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.blue;
}
}
}
I was using this for the 2019 tutorial and the console just says unexpected node type. Help?
