URP 14.0.8 Issue with 'Enable Depth Testing' Property

[james-arndt]

There seems to be a bug with URP 14.0.8 and Unity 2022.3.6f1. When setting the Render Flag property to "Enable Depth Testing" on the Outline Settings asset, the render is corrupted and a warning message pops up in the console.

Also experiencing the same problem with Unity 2022.3.8f1.

I found a way to fix this, and when I changed the input value "depthTexture" in line 77 of the OutlinePass.cs to "_renderer.cameraDepth", the feature worked fine again！and line 61 could also be commented out.

@Matrix64 Thanks for the tip, unfortunately didn't work for me.

@efeurun You can try this project in Unity 2022.3.18f1, In order to compress the file size, I deleted the Library folder
OutlineTest.zip

If you are prompted to convert the code when running the project, select No

Hero! This worked on 2022.3.20f1

This works for me in the editor but not when running the game for some reason :/ I get pink materials for the objects with outlines. On Unity 2022.3.46f1

This helped! But I still got some weird artifacts on my objects when I use depth, there was a shader error in OutlineColor.URP so I (chatgpt) fixed it and there are no more artifacts I'm using 2022.3.62f2
