Resolved Assertion failed on expression: 'gOnDemandAssets->empty()

transat · Feb 29, 2020

I'm not sure where to post this as I'm not given much context but I've been getting multiples of this error lately in 2020.1.0a2x...

Code (CSharp):

Assertion failed on expression: 'gOnDemandAssets->empty() || GetOnDemandModeV2() != AssetDatabase::OnDemandMode::Off'

Any ideas?

LeonhardP · Mar 2, 2020

We don't have anything logged for this. It would be very helpful if you could submit a bug report with a reproduction project.

radiantboy · Apr 2, 2020

I see this a lot too.. learned to ignore it.

jdrewsen · Apr 2, 2020

Can you provide a way for us to reproduce this. Steps to repro, a small project that repros or if possible the actual project that repros?

Unity_Javier · May 28, 2020

Hey @transat , we've figured out why the issue is happening.

There must be a .meta file in your project which has no GUID.

Here's a little powershell snippet to run and it'll tell you which file has that missing GUID:

Code (JavaScript):

gci -Recurse | Where{ $_.extension -eq ".meta" } | Where-Object { !( $_ | Select-String "guid:" -quiet) }

While we get our fix out, can you add a new GUID yourself manually? (Or delete that .meta file and it'll be recreated).

We'll handle this on our end and get it backported as well.

transat · May 28, 2020

I haven't been getting the error in a while as I restarted my project from scratch but good job on finding the culprit!

radiantboy · May 29, 2020

I still get it constantly, thanks for the snippet, I didnt know it was safe to wipe a meta file tho?

Unity_Javier · May 29, 2020

.meta files are created by the Unity Editor. The general assumption is that the Editor should only be modifying those files, and that the output is correct .

Of course, in practice, that doesn't seem to be the case, and we need to guard against that.

Deleting the .meta file will recreate it when calling Refresh and assign it a valid GUID.

In this case, when the GUID is not there, an uninitialized GUID gets put into the database and then a number of systems don't expect that (as its a pretty fundamental thing to rely on correct .meta files, and also ensuring this assumption is correct helps to simplify the code we have), and so some Asserts will get triggered.

I'll add an error message with some steps to follow, since sometimes you might not want to delete your entire .meta file and just add the line:

guid: [some guid value]

into it

Pixel2015 · Jun 9, 2020

Just updated to 2019.4 LTS and now getting spammed with these. Did you already fix it?

Unity_Javier · Jun 9, 2020

Hey, the fix is on its way to our main branch, and it will be backported to 2019.4 shortly after.

Can you check which .meta files you have with no guid inside of them? You can do so by running this command on powershell:
gci -Recurse | Where{ $_.extension -eq ".meta" } | Where-Object { !( $_ | Select-String "guid:" -quiet) }

Pixel2015 · Jun 10, 2020

Thanks I solved it by removing one of my packages, very specific scenario where I am developing a package inside an Unity assets folder where this package has autoupdate feature which triggered and updated itself but through a package manager. So it was both inside PackageCache and Assets folder.

Once I cleared one of them the error went away.

Hello!

Found this thread and wanted to help out after getting this error:

Code (CSharp):

Assertion failed on expression: 'gOnDemandAssets->empty() || GetOnDemandModeV2() != AssetDatabase::OnDemandMode::Off'

and:

Code (CSharp):

An infinite import loop has been detected. The following Assets were imported multiple times, but no changes to them have been detected. Please check if any custom code is trying to import them:

Assets/Models/Landscape/piece_bananaHill_plainNoisy.fbx

Assets/Models/Landscape/piece_BananaHill_NoisyCurve.fbx

Assets/Models/Landscape/piece_BananaHill_PlainNoisy.fbx

Assets/Models/Landscape/piece_bananaHill_plainNoisy.fbx

...

* Removed a lot of repeating lines *

...

Assets/Models/Landscape/piece_BananaHill_NoisyCurve.fbx

Assets/Models/Landscape/piece_ban<message truncated>

I got this when I exported new fbx with upper case letters.
I have since deleted all the fbx's but unity is still throwing errors and refuse to import new fbxs.

The project view of the folder has an interesting visual bug shown in the image attached.
It shows a whole lot of seemingly mesh files in the folder without a container. None of the fbx files are in the folder.

I am on linux and using Unity 2019.3.13f1.

Unity_Javier · Jun 18, 2020

Hi @bastianLstrube

Sorry for taking a while to reply!

We actually have a bug on this: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...e-named-assets-causes-infinite-import-looping and the fix for it should land soon.

The issue here is that we don't gracefully handle two files having the same name in the same folder, and that causes a lot of problems. This primarily a problem on Linux since its a case sensitive file system (while Windows and OSX currently are not). We have a number of optimizations that use this assumption, and so they break down when there are case sensitive files. I know since Windows 10 and WSL it is possible to flag folders as case sensitive, but at least to my knowledge this is not a common practice in Windows.

In the meantime, I would recommend keeping this in mind and staying away from having multiple files named the same in the same folder, just with different cases (i.e. myFile.png & myFILE.png).

sniffle63 · Jun 19, 2020

Hello!

I just ran the PowerShell command you suggested to try and fix the error in our project

But after running your command in our projects directory, it returns no files

version 2019.4.1f1

Any ideas on what we can do?

Unity_Javier · Jun 19, 2020

Hey, perhaps you can run this script on your project: https://gist.github.com/Unity-Javier/f772a9b0a8077f642e15ca71983f237f

What this does is, it looks through your file system for all files in your project, then compares it to what AssetDatabase.GetAllAssetPaths gets, ignores .meta files, and then outputs the paths that are not inside AssetDatabase.GetAllAssetPaths.

I'll leave the code here too, in for future reference:

Code (CSharp):

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.IO;

using System.Linq;

using UnityEditor;

using UnityEngine;

public class FindProblematicAsset

{

[MenuItem("AssetDatabase/ZeroGUID")]

public static void GetZeroGUID()

{

var allFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles("Assets", "*").ToArray();

var allAssets = new HashSet<string>(AssetDatabase.GetAllAssetPaths());

for(int i = 0; i < allFiles.Length; ++i)

{

//Make sure we have forward slashes only

var curFile = allFiles[i].Replace(@"\", "/");

//Ignore .meta files as they're not part of AssetDatabase.GetAllAssetPaths();

if (!curFile.EndsWith(".meta") && !allAssets.Contains(curFile))

{

Debug.Log($"File path is in project, but not found inside AssetDatabase: {curFile}");

}

}

}

}

Here it should find an asset with a zero GUID, and then you could perhaps inspect its corresponding .meta file for issues, or reimport the asset to see if that solves the problem, or just dirty the asset and get trigger another import of it. That's my guess for now at least

Thank you so much for the fast reply!

Unfortunately the only file it found was

Which was strange to find in my asset folder, but alas was not the problem.

The reason we are trying to fix it is because we had updated to 2019 and now when we load our assetBundles into the game the lighting isn't the same as what is shown in the editor and we were assuming the missing GUID's might of been making the asset bundles not load/build correctly.

(The lighting is broken loading the 2018 asset bundles into the 2019 client as well as loading the 2019 build of the assets into a 2019 client, but only in a built version of the game, it looks fine playing the game in editor, and was perfectly fine on 2018)

Unity_Javier · Jun 22, 2020

Ok, so just trying to understand this.

Are you saying you baked a lightmap and put it inside of an AssetBundle in Unity 2018, and then on Unity 2019 you load that assetbundle to get the light out and its broken? Or are you seeing some null references between objects?

Since the powershell script I shared didn't point out any files that were malformed, then it looks like there are multiple ways that we can get into that state where we have a GUID that's invalid (i.e. its all zeros) and then this Assert eventually gets triggered as that invalid guid gets added to the AssetDatabase.

I'm still not 100% sure I understand how to get into this state. Is it just making an AssetBundle with lightdata in it, in a previous version of Unity, and then opening it in a new version and loading the lighting data from it in 2019.3?

We resolved the lighting problem by just re-updating the project from 2018 to 2019 and re-updating the asset bundle from 2018 to 2019.

We are still constantly getting the gOnDemandAssets->empty() || GetOnDemandModeV2() error.

Every time I compile or change scenes or really do any action in the editor it will cause 1-4 copies of the error, but only on the project that holds the assets that we build out and stream into the other project. On the project that holds the game logic, we do not get the error.

I'll happily help you track down the cause of the error if it seems our project is in a different state then what you are normally experiencing this issue from.

So, the way we found the other problem was because someone had submitted their project through FogBugz, and we debugged it through. It didn't take long to find the issue since we could trigger it every time we changed an asset, otherwise we'll just end up shooting in the dark.

The easiest thing for us could be that you submit a bug with your project + library and then we can debug through it to find what is triggering the assertion, since it doesn't seem like its the same issue as the other users have had.

Unity_Javier · Jun 30, 2020

@Lostlogic if the powershell script didn't find any .meta files without GUIDs, and the code snippet I put above doesn't return anything interesting, then submitting a bug with your project would be the easiest for us to debug through and try to find what the issue is.

Unfortunately, it is an NDA project :/

Maybe I can get a test scene to reproduce it, but it's not likely. The project has 100+ gigs of assets in it that we split into different bundles to load into the game.

Hi, I've got a similar project that I'm running into these issues on Linux with, and it doesn't misbehave in Windows. I ran what I believe to be the Linux equivalent of the command you posted, @Unity_Javier , in my project directory.

Code (CSharp):

grep -RL --include=\*.meta "guid:" ./*

I don't appear to have any files without GUIDs. I've got three errors in my console log with the same error. One might infer that I've got three files missing GUIDs somewhere in my project given that I've got three of these errors, so perhaps there's another grep command I could run to track them down? Maybe the GUID isn't missing, but maybe it's all zeroes, or negative, or some other error string? I'm running Unity 2019.3.14f1. And for the record, importing assets into this environment took 12 hours after I removed two directories that were definitely causing case-sensitive issues on Linux and holding up the import process altogether. In other words, I'm not surprised that I'm seeing more asset-database-related issues after that import. Everything else about running this project on Linux seems to be terribly slow too, and I suspect that it's all related.

The last known tip I have is to delete the file SourceAssetDB file inside the Library folder, but that will cause a full project reimport.

I'm kind shooting in the dark here, but I can tell you that someone else reported the issue that we originally fixed and with their project we found the NULL GUID problem in around ~20 minutes, so its a lot faster and more precise for us to see what the issue is when the project is supplied. The fix should also be present in the latest 2019.4 build as well, but just a HEADS UP, it will cause a full project reimport since the SourceAssetDB would have some NULL GUIDs in it, which was causing the Assert to come up in the first place.

@Timbecile76 I want to help, and I'd be happy to get a massive project and pinpoint the issue. We can DM if you'd prefer to share it some other way than over Fogbugz (although that is preferred for various internal tracking reasons) and we can get this issue looked at very soon (i.e. within a week or 1.5 weeks from now).

TaylorCaudle · Sep 24, 2020

Mind explaining how to run that powershell script? We needed to delete the Library folder to refresh the project, and now we're getting this with every save, every change, every single thing we do. Really getting to us, cant find any assets that would cause this randomly.

EDIT: ran it and deleted the two files it caused, but we get there error now on EVERY SINGLE ACTION. dragging an object into a prefab. changing a name. saving. anything.

We're starting to get a little demoralized. Can't find anything that would be causing this...

Unity_Javier · Sep 24, 2020

Hey @TaylorCaudle
If the powershell script identified some files, and that didn't fix the entire issue, you could try to find the SourceAssetDB file in your Library folder and delete it. It'll cause the project to be reimported.

If it still happens after that, can you zip up the project and send it to us (in a bug)? That way we can really try to target why its happening to your project.

I deleted the Source DB file, but nothing changed. Currently deleted the Library folder again, and reimporting, but if that doesn't fix I'm not sure i can upload the project, its 60gb

Unity_Javier · Sep 24, 2020

I hope that the problem goes away with reimporting the project, but it would be worthwhile for us to still have a look through the project in a "corrupted" state, to figure out why it got there.

The last time someone submitted their project we were able to figure out the issue in about 20 minutes.

60GB is fine from our end, but if there are other issues that prevent you from uploading it, then we can try and work through those.

As you can see from all the replies to this thread, it is a recurring issue and it looks like we can get there multiple ways, not just having an invalid GUID in a .meta file.

That's just the managed callstack.

You can do so via:

Okay, managed to fix it- we ROLLED THE DICE, and upgrade from 2019.4.1 to 2019.4.11

I needed to add `SearchOption.AllDirectories` in `Directory.EnumerateFiles("Assets", "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)` to get the script to search deep.

It found no corrupt meta files, however. Neither did the powershell command. Also deleting SourceAssetDB didn't work for me.

My case:

2020.2.0f1 HDRP template with `Enter Play Mode Options` enabled:

Some other settings I changed in the template:
- Architecture from 32 to 64 bit:
- .NET from 2.0 to 4.x
- Vsync off:
- High Quality as default

I'm on Windows 10.

The reason for enabling Enter Play Mode Options is to prepare to use DOTS, since DOTS-based projects enter play mode far faster with Enter Play Mode Options enabled.

Been struggling with the Assertion failed on expression: 'sceneRanges.empty()' after importing my project into the HDRP Demo scene, and as suggested above, it has to do with the Enter Playmode options. Adding "Reload Scene" tick-box fixed the error message for me, and doesn't take long at all to reload, so might be worth a try.
