Recursion detected while updating scripts

[Mycroft]

I just installed the Unity 5.6 Beta to access the new Nav features (thank you!) but I’m running into issues.

Internal error: Recursion detected while updating scripts (assembly index: 4)
API updating failed. Check previous console messages.

This just repeats over and over when I attempt to force a code re-compile.

Found a solution (for my issue)

The update attempted to put

UnityEngine.AI.

before all of my calls to the NavMeshAgent/Path/etc.

I searched and removed them all and instead inserted

using UnityEngine.AI;

I think it’s a problem with the script updater. I’ve reported a similar issue internally.
