Particle System's Renderer complains about Vertex Streams not matching when the Shader doesn't require it

Visual Effects - Legacy

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open a new Unity project
2. Import user's "Bug_report_Particles.unitypackage"
3. Find "EstelaDesierto_Real_MBT_GPU" prefab in Assets > 05_particulas > Tanques > Estelas > Resources and drag it into the Hierarchy
4. Expand "EstelaDesierto_Real_MBT_GPU" prefab in the Hierarchy and select "Dust02" GameObject
5. In the Inspector open Renderer's tab and Shader's tab

Expected result: the Shader does not require a 'Tangent' stream so the UI shouldn't complain about it.
Actual result: UI complains about 'Tangent' stream even though the Shader does not require it.

Reproducible with - 2018.3.0b1, 2018.2.8f1, 2018.1.9f2, 2017.4.11f1

    I know this is old but someone might come looking.
    I got the same error using Unity Example effects, namely BigSplash.
    What I found was that Ripple did not have matching arguments in the Custom Vertex Stream section. It was missing UV2 and AnimBlend. All 3 others (BigSplash, SmallDrops, BigDrops) had the exact same arguments. I made them match and viola! Bob's your uncle. I hope this helps someone else out.

    I faced this problem too.

    For my case, it is the EnergyExplosion effect from the Particle Pack, after applying the LWRP:

    - The LWRP particle unlit shader wants a TANGENT like information;

    - however, the EnergyExplosion.mat does not have such information.

    Anyway to solve / work around this.

    i'm also kinda getting this error with using unity shader "Particles/Standard Unlit" using default particle system without any touch. it's wierd.
    it says
    vertex streams do not match the shader inputs.
    - TEXCOORD streams do not match

    To reproduce the bug, instantiate any Standard/Particle in Play mode with a particle that is in Fade mode with Normal maps enabled.

    This is 100% reproducible and is a bug
    You can easily debug what the particle system is trying to send and what the shader input has.
    Particle is trying to send data to TEXCOORD but what the shader has is TEXCOORD0.

    I have a particle system that uses the standard surface particle shader and custom vertex streams. If no tangent stream is added I get an error in the system, if I add a tangent stream the shader complains that it doesn't need it and removes. Would really like this issue to get addressed asap.
