"Shadow map cache entry with NULL shadowmap?" is spammed in console if Built-in Shader Settings is set incorrectly

-

Jul 04, 2017

Reproduction steps:
1. Open project attached.
2. Open scene "Shop Interiors".
3. Focus scene window and inspect console.

Expected result: Everything will work fine, no unexpected errors.
Actual result: "Shadow map cache entry with NULL shadowmap?" is spammed in console.

Reproduced on: 5.6.0f3, 5.6.2p2, 2017.1.0f2, 2017.1.0b2.

Resolution Note:

We are currently focussing on LWRP and HDRP for shadow improvements. Since this has a workaround the effort is probably better spent elsewhere. We will of course reconsider if there is a big user ask for a fix for this.
