UI Toolkit + new Input Module - hover state not working

Unity Engine
1

I’m using UI Toolkit preview-15 with Input System 1.0.2

I’m trying to properly set up event system but to no avail.

With preview-14 we were using both Input System UI Input Module and Input System Event System (UI Toolkit). There was a warning in the console, that two event system should not be active at the same time, but everything worked fine. But now this setup generate error in each frame during runtime:

So I tried using only Input System Event System (UI Toolkit). But this way
EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject(); stopped working - it returns false always. So clicks are passed through the UI into the game.

So then I tried using only Input System UI Input Module. But this way :hover state in game stopped working.

Is there a way to make it work properly?

You need to use at least Input System 1.1.0-pre.5, which is the first version that’s fully compatible with UI Toolkit as far as using InputSystemUIInputModule to drive both UI systems.

You should be able to have access to it by just having a line with "com.unity.inputsystem": "1.1.0-pre.5", in your manifest.json file.

Yes, thank you.

Also in 2021.2.0b5 even without per-release of input system it works fine.
