This compiles for me, however the result displays the text properly and the sprite no longer renders at all. May just be me though. Anyone else tried this?
edit: I am on MaxOs. This may be related.

Adding in the z depth on my spritesheet transform fixed (workaround) the sprite render issue on macOS machines. Once zdepth starts working by default, I personally think this patch is ready to merge and should be. Up to the repo owner though. For now I will keep developing on this branch until they do. Thanks very much for your work in resolving this issue! 😃

You should fix the CI / clean check (clippy error)

I'm investigating the issue now. This is quite weird because we are already creating two "different" pipelines, one with dynamic bindings and one without. (by using bevy's "pipeline specialization" system).

This almost feels like a bug in wgpu where its getting confused about dynamic bindings.

In general creating full copies of all relevant assets shouldn't be necessary. The "pipeline specialization" code we have already should be solving this problem for us. I'll take some time to see if theres anything obvious. If not, I'll try getting a repro using a wgpu example.

We might need to hack around this in the short term, but I think we can do it in a way that doesnt explicitly create new assets.

Found the root cause. Its a one line fix.

Closing in favor of #560

(this was definitely my fault 😄)
