Notes:

Unity cannot compile the VisualEffectAsset at path "Assets/New Graph.vfx" because of the following exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: The expression UnityEditor.VFX.VFXExpressionCastFloatToBool is not valid as it have the invalid flag: InvalidOnCPU

  at UnityEditor.VFX.VFXExpressionGraph.BuildMapper (UnityEditor.VFX.VFXContext context, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[TKey,TValue] dictionnary, UnityEditor.VFX.VFXDeviceTarget target) [0x0004c] in .\Library\PackageCache\com.unity.visualeffectgraph@15.0.5\Editor\Compiler\VFXExpressionGraph.cs:277

UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions ()

  1. Resolution Note:

    The error is actually expected.
    Load texture is GPU only and spawner context is evaluated on CPU. So no texture load can be used in Spawners.
    The error message is unclear but it was improved in newer versions
