On line 118, probably Debug.LogError(string.Format("Could not find method {0}", methodName)); is more appropriated.

Man, I'm facing a problem, it looks like that sometimes something is leaking and I start to receive some errors like this:

NullReferenceException: (null) UnityEditor.SerializedObject..ctor (UnityEngine.Object[] objs) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/editor/SerializedPropertyBindings.gen.cs:74) UnityEditor.Editor.GetSerializedObjectInternal () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/editor/EditorBindings.gen.cs:154) UnityEditor.Editor.get_serializedObject () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/editor/EditorBindings.gen.cs:147) UnityEditor.GameObjectInspector.OnEnable () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Inspector/GameObjectInspector.cs:89)

Have you faced this before, or have any ideas how to prevent this happen?

Error Exception:TargetException: Object does not match target type. will occurred when use this cool script.
When use reflection we pass the wrong instance to Invoke.

I think We should cache the inspector method with decoratedEditorType

private static Dictionary<System.Type, Dictionary<string, MethodInfo>> newDecoratedMethods = new Dictionary<System.Type, Dictionary<string, MethodInfo>>();

Same problem as Dennin, 3 years later, and no fix ? ;) on unity 2019
