Unsupported enum type

Question

Well heres my code for my enum.

 enum PlayerDirection : sbyte
 {
     Left = -1,
     Right = 1
 }

whenever I run, everything works good, and I can Debug.Log the values by casting to int, although im getting these hardmless errors

 Unsupported enum type: playerDirection
 
 Unsupported enum type: Left
 UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()
 
 Unsupported enum type: Right
 UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()

I've tried specifying System.NonSerializable, and I tried [HideInspector] but no luck. I've also tried take out the declaration for sbyte, and it still throws up the first error (but not the last two).

I need them stored this way so I can adjust movement based on direction (addforce (30 * playerDirection)) for example.

None of those 3 things it complains about are enum types. So everything looks great.

Could you explain a bit more please?

 enum PlayerDirection : sbyte
 {
     Left = -1,
     Right = 1
 }

I had the same problem with uint enum. Unity seems to manage only int enum. Use int instead of sbyte and it should work.
