Have you tried the last 7.x-2.x-dev version? It fixed this same error for me.

Just ran into similar error with rc5. I am using it so user can choose pages (nodes) from the site using a table view. I can use checkboxes to select pages; pages are added back to the edit screen once modal disappears but on trying to save node i get "The referenced entity (node: 1) is invalid."

Only way I can save the node is to uncheck all nodes which have been added, then save.

I am experiencing the same issue in version 7.x-2.0-rc5+13-dev. Bumping to critical. Module is unusable with this error.

P.s. I've tried each of the suggestions from this issue: https://www.drupal.org/node/1906118 - turned off caching, removed any arguments and removed "Link title to node". Didn't help.

Actually, scratch that, it was me being stupid. When setting up the site, I'd attempted using the regular Entity Reference View display instead of Entity Reference View Widget and I had the config mixed up.

The solution was to ensure that on the field edit screen, the "Entity Selection Mode" was set to "Simple" rather than "Views: Filter by an entity reference view". As per instructions at https://www.drupal.org/node/2305545

I am facing the same issue with 7.x-2.0-rc6, the node referencing entities cannot be saved.
Please do not close the issue because you realized you made a mistake on your side.

I found the origin of the problem: when selecting "Simple" as Entity Selection Mode in field edit screen, we can filter entity types that can be referenced by the field.
The problem is that these filters are not linked to the filters you set in your view, so in the widget you will find contents of any type.
As a consequence, if you select a content whose type was not selected in the field edit screen, the error raises.

Under the entity reference field settings, changing the Entity selection mode from "Views: Filter by an entity reference view" to "Simple (with optional filter by bundle)" resolved the issue for me.

Thanks littledynamo for getting me started in the right direction.

As mentioned in #9 and #11, ensuring that the Entity selection mode is "Simple" resolved this issue for me. It seems that this particular thread/issue may be encompassing several issues.
