Build error: could not load file or assembly

I tested cloud build with a few projects and think it's working very well. Most projects build without problems for iOS and Web, except one, which shows a build error.

In this project, it looks like a (non-native) .dll is not found/included in the build. The dll is referenced in other dlls, which are loaded properly. There are no references to it inside the game code, except from these dlls (uLink/uLobby networking library).

I'm not sure why this could happen, on my machine I've never had this problem, and I also checked out a new copy of the (git-)repo and it work, and everything is included. This is the part of the log:

Also, later in the log, there's a message which sounds like the not found dll (JBoy.dll) does not even exist as an asset. But there definitely are multiple files in this folder.

Code (CSharp):

1.  [Unity] Refresh: detecting if any assets need to be imported or removed ... A meta data file (.meta) exists but its asset 'Assets/Plugins/Jboy/Library' can't be found. When moving or deleting files outside of Unity, please ensure that the corresponding .meta file is moved or deleted along with it.

files in the folder:

Code (CSharp):

1. Jboy.Core.dll
2. Jboy.Core.dll.meta
3. Jboy.Core.xml
4. Jboy.Core.xml.meta
5. Jboy.dll
6. Jboy.dll.meta
7. Jboy.xml
8. Jboy.xml.meta

I also disabled code stripping but it doesn't make a difference.

 

I was able to make it work now by updating JBoy and moving it to another folder. I'm not sure what could have caused the problem, but it works now. The confusing thing was just that building worked on any machine I tested (even directly after checking out from the repository), but not on the build server.

 

yes, that worked without problems (tested with 4.5.3p1).

 

another thing I noticed: sometimes when building works successfully, there are some compiler error messages in the log, like:

Code (CSharp):

1. [Unity] Initialize engine version: 4.5.3f3 (fca41a4fabea)
2.        [Unity] -----CompilerOutput:-stdout--exitcode: 1--compilationhadfailure: True--outfile: Temp/Assembly-CSharp.dll
3.        [Unity] Compilation failed: 3 error(s), 0 warnings
4.        [Unity] error CS2001: Source file `Assets/Scripts/Core/ObjectManager.cs' could not be found
5.       [Unity] error CS2001: Source file `Assets/Scripts/Core/Player.cs' could not be found
6.        [Unity] error CS2001: Source file `Assets/Scripts/Player States/PlayerState.cs' could not be found
7.       [Unity] Internal compiler error. See the console log for more information. output was:error CS2001: Source file `Assets/Scripts/Core/ObjectManager.cs' could not be found
8.        [Unity] error CS2001: Source file `Assets/Scripts/Core/Player.cs' could not be found
9.       [Unity] error CS2001: Source file `Assets/Scripts/Player States/PlayerState.cs' could not be found

12.        [Unity] WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'Hidden/Nature/Terrain/Bumped Specular AddPass' - Pass 'FORWARD' shader state not supported
13.        [Unity] WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'Nature/Terrain/Bumped Specular' - Pass 'FORWARD' shader state not supported
14.        [Unity] Finished exporting player successfully.

It's not really a big issue, everything works like expected, but it's a bit confusing. I think these are all objects that were deleted (or renamed in this case) since the previous build.
