    I have a 5.6.x project that I'm working on updating to 2017.4 LTS.

    With my 5.6 project, I have build scripts (bash) that run unity like this:

    "${UNITY_PATH}" -batchmode -quit -logFile build.log -projectPath "${PROJECT_PATH}" -buildOSX64Player Foo.app

    When I updated to 2017 LTS, this is now failing with the following error:

    ---
    DisplayProgressbar: Unity license
    Cancelling DisplayDialog: Failed to activate/update license. Missing or bad username and password. Please try again using valid credentials or contact support@unity3d.com
    This should not be called in batch mode.

    (Filename: /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Platform/OSX/EditorUtility.mm Line: 297)
    ---

    How do I fix this so I can build on the command-line again?

    So I opened a bug for this regression almost 2 weeks ago. No response there or here.

    Is there anything else I can do to get this regression fixed?

    Is the Unity license actually activated on the machine? 2017 uses different license from 5.6.

    Thank you for the response!

    • I had it working with 5.6.x
    • I used Unity Hub to install the 2017 LTS version
    • I can build and run within the editor
    • It fails when I try to build on the command line

    Given that everything works when I'm not building on the command line, I assume the license is properly activated? How can I tell?

    If you can build within the editor, then the license is activated.

    You aren't running the command line as root are you? Does opening up a new terminal and invoking that command line give you the same behaviour?

    I am not running as root.

    I wrote bash scripts to run so I could have automated, reproducible builds. Running them in a new terminal does not change anything.

    I have just verified that it's running using the correct binary ("${UNITY_PATH}" in the initial report):

    /Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/2017.4.37f1/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity

    That means the error still reproduces there?

    Yes. The resulting log is the same as above.

    If I take just the one build command out of my script (see first post) and run it on the command line, I get the same error and same log.

    I asked QA to take a look at your bug report - hopefully they can reproduce it and we can figure this out.

    Great - thank you very much!

    If you need anything at all from my end, or need me to try anything, please let me know.
