Hi all. I am getting an error when try to get properties of scene in Inspector.
I just choose scene and click on scene node, and getting this errors in console:
Also you can see inspector is empty.

I known, there is a: "__prefab": null,
But how to fix that problem. Also, how to prevent that issue.

Thanks in advanced!

Hi @sunstar,
I also have the same problem.

My steps:

  1. Create some 2d node (sprite).
  2. Create a folder called prefabs.
  3. drag a node to the prefabs folder to make it a prefab.
  4. try to add some components to the prefab (that display on the screen) like Box2d, rigid-body.
  5. Apply change to the original prefab.
  6. try to duplicate the current display prefab (instantiated).

It’s not always happened. But very easy to reproduce by repeat those steps.

I already tried cocos 3.2 & 3.2.1.

Error message in the console:

[preview-error]Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '__prefab' of null in http://localhost:7456/scripting/engine/bin/.cache/dev/preview/bundled/index.js

Could you please take a look?

can you send me the scene and prefab files (with .meta files),so i can have a check~

Here is my project file: Filebin | k3q0u9w71xautqxm

I open this project, and didn’t get any error. can you give me a project that has error data?

I solved my problem.
Because the error looks weird.
My problem is about Feature Crop.
I disable physics 2d feature.
But then, I added BoxColider component.
So that component will be null.

Thank you so much for fast reply & help.
Sorry for this inconvenience.
