Async/await

Hello there !

I have a PostExport method working perfectly well locally but which seems to silently "fail" on Cloud build.

By fail I mean that the method is correctly executed until the point it encounters an

await 

, then cloud build carries on with the build even if my method if not completed.

Here is the async method used in the PostExport :

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3. private static async Task Upload(string url, string filePath, string token) {
4.     Debug.Log("Launching upload method, url: " + url + " , filepath: " + filePath + ", token:" + token);
5.     var fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open);
6.     try {
7.         // We need to use a StreamContent for this to work
8.         var streamContent = new StreamContent(fileStream);
9.         streamContent.Headers.ContentDisposition = new ContentDispositionHeaderValue("form-data") {
10.             FileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath),
11.             Name = "file"
12.         };
13.         streamContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/zip");
14.         var client = new HttpClient();
15.         client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);
16.         var multi = new MultipartFormDataContent {streamContent};
17.         var response = await client.PostAsync(url, multi);
18.         if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode) {
19.             Debug.Log("An error was returned from the server while uploading");
20.             Debug.Log(JsonUtility.ToJson(response));
21.             Debug.LogError(response.StatusCode);
22.         } else {
23.             Debug.Log("Asset bundle zip upload completed!");
24.         }
25.     } catch (Exception e) {
26.         Debug.Log("An exception happened while uploading");
27.         Debug.LogException(e);
28.         throw;
29.     } finally {
30.         Debug.Log("Disposing of file stream (finally block)");
31.         fileStream.Dispose();
32.     }
33. }
34.         }
35.  

The first Debug is working correctly, but I never get any other debug logs (nothing in the catch, nor in the finally block, etc).

The method is called like this :

await Upload(uploadUrl, filePath, token);

It's working locally, and I'm pretty confident it was working until recently in cloud build.

 

Fixed it by using

Code (CSharp):

1. var task = Task.Run(() => client.PostAsync(url, multi));
2. task.Wait();
3. var response = task.Result;

instead, but I would expect CloudBuild to recognize an async method and to await it !

 

Hey guys,

could it be that any asynchronous operation in Unity batchmode does not work when having the -quit argument (which UCB obviously uses) since:

-batchmode with -quit does not work because Unity does not run EditorApplication.update and quit after a single frame.
(see: mirrors / Cysharp / UniTask · GitCode and UniTask cannot await during batchmode · Issue #237 · Cysharp/UniTask (github.com))

Cheers
