No

Editor only classes break serialization when using SerializeReference attribute

Serialization

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open user's attached "SerializeReference Bug.zip" project
2. Open "Bug" Scene
3. Go to File -> Build And Run
4. Observe the player

Expected result: No error messages are thrown
Actual result: "A scripted object (probably Bug?) has a different serialization layout when loading" error message is thrown

Reproducible with: 2019.4.3f1, 2020.1.0b15, 2020.2.0a18
Could not test with: 2018.4.24f1 (SerializeReference attribute not supported)

Notes:
- The issue is not reproducible in the Unity Editor
- Removing #if UNITY_EDITOR from the class removes the issue
- The issue is reproducible on both Windows and Mac player

  1. Resolution Note (2020.2.X):

    This will require some significant architectural changes which we are looking to address in the 2021 time frame.

    Still present in 2019.4.12f1, removing #if UNITY_EDITOR on already corrupted ScriptableObjects doesn't seem to fix them...
