Authoring/Baking refuses to be called

[verbal radish]

Hello! For some reason, the Bake() function for my only authoring script refuses to be called, despite the authoring script being attached to a single empty object in an empty Scene. It is supposed to bake a singleton entity storing configuration values.

I have tried setting the GameObject as Authoring/Mixed/Runtime. I have also tried adding the authoring script to an empty object within a new sub-scene. I cannot get the entity to bake. Any ideas what could be causing the issue?

The weird thing is that this authoring code used to bake. But I accidentally broke the subscene I had setup by deleting some assets. When I tried recreating the subscene, it refuses to bake. I have tried restarting Unity several times.

Here is the authoring code:

public class ConfigAuthoring : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject unitPrefab;
    class Baker : Baker<ConfigAuthoring>
    {
        public override void Bake(ConfigAuthoring authoring)
        {
            var entity = GetEntity(TransformUsageFlags.None);
            AddComponent(entity, new Config
            {
                // Add Config values when I think I need them for debugging
                UnitPrefab = GetEntity(authoring.unitPrefab, TransformUsageFlags.Dynamic),
            });
            Debug.Log("Baked Config entity");
        }
    }
}

public struct Config : IComponentData
{
    public Entity UnitPrefab;
}

What's the scene setup looks like?

As simple as it can be. ConfigHolder is an empty GameObject with my authoring script attached.

Your subscene is added as additive game object scene

You need a game object with Subscene monobehaviour

Huh. I guess I missed that somewhere when setting it up again.

By the way, is it not possible to trigger authoring outside subscene? Can I not put the ConfigHolder just in the Main Scene?

I've tried that and it does not work, so I'm guessing it has to be within a subscene

no
