VFX namespace error in the Console when downgrading the Editor to previous Unity streams or to older versions of the same stream

Visual Effects

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open and close the attached project “DowngradeBugFinal.zip“
2. Open the project again, but in the previous Unity stream or downgrade the an older version of the same stream

Expected result: No error in the Console
Actual result: Error in the Console

Reproducible with: 2020.3.47f1, 2021.3.22f1, 2022.2.13f1, 2023.1.0b11, 2023.2.0a9

Reproduced on: macOS 13.2.1 (Intel)

Note: Sometimes you need to downgrade more than one version when downgrading to an older version of the same stream to reproduce the issue

Full error: Assets/SDFSMRBaker.cs(4,23): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'SDF' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine.VFX' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

  1. Resolution Note:

    Downgrading is not supported in general, so errors are expected.
    In this specific case, removing the Visual Effect Graph package and adding it again through the Package Manager fixes the errors.

  2. Resolution Note (2023.1.X):

    Downgrading is not supported in general, so errors are expected.
    In this specific case, removing the Visual Effect Graph package and adding it again through the Package Manager fixes the errors.
