Reply To: NullReferenceException when playing a build version

[robert solero]

Hi Gavalakis and mdemaille,
How are you doing?
Unfortunately I had this issue as well.
I get this error on iOs 11 after i updated to 2.7.0 on a Unity 5.6.0f3.
The error comes from a flow script that I know worked on iOs before the upgrade to 2.7.0. So it must be something due on the update.

NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required.

The main different is that I’m not able to know the Type involved (compared to the FlowCanvas.BinderConnection 1[UnityEngine.Transform].DoNormalBinding) that feature a Transform. I simply have a BinderConnection 1[T].

As far as I understood the issue is because the target port name of the nodes are empty strings, they should all be changed in ” ” (whitespace) in order to make everything work as expected.
As mdemaille shown on the screenshot I inspected the JSON from my flow script. Unfortunately I didn’t find any empty value on all _targetPortName, all are defined value or whitespace along with all

Is there a way for me to determine which is the node that returns the error ?
Is there a way to fix it automatically instead of re-create them one by one?

Thank you again,
Best,
Robert.
