Description

It looks like our DetectAssetChangeProcessor triggers some workflows that can call SendMessage when unexpected, and produce lots of warnings in the Unity console. Very annoying

Steps to Reproduce

Integrate with the DetectAssetChangeProcessor. Change some assets, restart the editor, etc

Expected Behavior

No console warnings.

Actual Behavior

Console warnings.

Severity

Cosmetic (visual/UX issue)

Unity Version

2022.3 LTS

Package Version

3.2.1

Platform

  • Editor
  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • iOS
  • Android
  • WebGL
  • Other

Regression

  • Yes, this is a regression (worked in a previous version)
