Bug Addressables 1.19.11 erasing AssetGroup custom build and load paths

    Addressables package v1.19.11 introduced a change that broke custom 'Content Packing & Loading' paths within an asset group.

    Every time you hit "Play" in the Editor, the addressables package now overwrites whatever custom load and build paths you had set up.

    I've isolated the bug to new code introduced in 1.19.11 within BundledAssetGroupSchema.cs:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. internal override void Validate()
    2. {
    3.     if (Group != null && Group.Settings != null)
    4.     {
    5.         List<string> variableNames = Group.Settings.profileSettings.GetVariableNames();
    6.         SetPathVariable(Group.Settings, ref m_BuildPath, AddressableAssetSettings.kLocalBuildPath, "LocalBuildPath", variableNames);
    7.         SetPathVariable(Group.Settings, ref m_LoadPath, AddressableAssetSettings.kLocalLoadPath, "LocalLoadPath", variableNames);
    8.     }
    9.  
    10.     // ...
    11. }
    This code is erasing custom load and build paths whether you want it to or not.

    Bug report submitted (case 1396642).

    Hey all, I just checked on the status of the ticket and it's in our QA queue. I do know there was an issue with upgrading to a specific version when we introduced Path Pairs, and this sounds very similar. I'll see if I can repro on my end and/or see what our internal QA say about the ticket when they get to it.

    I just wanted to report back. I was able to pretty easily reproduce the issue. I was hoping that it'd be a little more straightforward of a fix so I could be sure to get it into the next release, but I don't think I'll be able to make that happen. I did create a ticket with my findings so we should get it taken care of soon.

    As a workaround for the moment, if you can make a Profile Variable in the Profiles window and then set your paths using those variables it's should work without issue. In my quick test, doing that stopped my values from getting overwritten.

    Sorry for the inconvenience on this. I hope the workaround is tenable.

    I don't have the custom paths getting erased anymore, but whenever I hit Play and I cannot trigger an Addressable build anymore. The build process always throws an error and gets stuck. I need to restart the Unity Editor and never hit Play on that session if I want to build the Addressables or the App as well.
    I don't remember the error right now, but I can come later and post it.

    @sandolkakos, Hey there, could you tell me a bit more about what you're encountering? Is it that you can't do an addressables build or that you can't do a player build without restarting? Or is it both? We're aware of an issue with player builds getting messed up if you try to do them immediately after entering playmode and frankly, it's a pretty pesky bug to track down and fix - if you're encountering that and have a project that consistently reproduces it, we'd really appreciate it if you could send a bug report our way. In either case though, I'm happy to help figure out what's going on and see if we can get a bug reported for it so that we can get it fixed. Thanks!

    @unity_shane, thanks for paying attention to the issue I commented about.
    When I enter the play mode, on the same unity session it will fail to do both Addressables build and Player build.

    I'd like to create a sample project to submit, but at the moment I'm on travel and don't have access to my laptop. As soon as I am back home I will do that and create a bug report for it.

    @unity_shane, after a long time I am back home where I can reproduce the issue on my computer and after a lot of tests, I can reproduce the error by following those steps:

    1. Create any AssetGroup and set its custom Load and Build paths like the image:
    upload_2022-8-11_20-53-22.png

    2. Build the Addressables and everything will work like a charm.

    3. Hit the play button and pay attention to the same AssetGroup, it loses the PathPreview:
    upload_2022-8-11_20-54-10.png

    4. Try to build the Addressables again and see those 3 issues (no stacktrace available):
    upload_2022-8-11_20-54-46.png

    Note: After restarting Unity the PreviewPaths are back and I can build the Addressables without any error until I do not hit the Play button.

    I hope those steps can help.
