Object reference not set to an instance of an object for simple Activity

[ripers (Richard P.)]

Hi all, I have a problem that is driving me nuts. I am encountering the following error-message: " Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I have an empty activity, completly empty, which runs fine when empty. But the moment when I add any activity it throws the error. Like here, I add a simple log acitivity, then it fails:

20.10.4+Branch.master.Sha.6a6cfd6dfbeb86aec47564af2f9465ef0bf43df4

EDIT: Nevermind, I had a variable with the name “System”. When I removed that everything works. Forgot that it is a protected name (at least I assume it is).
