Cannot push anything in 5.4.0f3

I've been trying out the new stable 5.4 after beta testing it for a while --

I can't seem to push - anything, unfortunately. I removed a rather large package, then added a rather large package (removed GameSparks and added PlayFab). Now this is what occurs:

http://recordit.co/wE2A5UjKdK (1 minute after the video, the "cannot submit change" bug returned)

I tried restarting Unity, which usually does the trick, but now I'm a bit stuck. Any clues?

1. I try to publish a rather large push on collab
2. The publish will attempt to process.
3. I get a red "!" with a vague error "Cannot submit change to server"
3b. Sometimes I get a green checkbox (such as in the video above), but within 30s to 5m, the red returns, as well as the uncommitted pieces.

Cheers~

 

Hi,

We are going to look into that, seem like it's trying to push something that is already on the server? From what I see real fast it's trying to push /Assets/PlayFabSdk.meta. Do you have it already on the web dashboard? I will ask the devs here to dig into it a little further.

 

Hi @dylanh7244 !!
We had the team take a look at the files on the server. Can you please rename the file and folder back to:

That should put you back to a workable state!

 

Ahh thanks guys. Trying this now.

I remember there was an old collab bug where it couldn't handle bulk changes - so I removed the playfab dir from the project, pushed with less files changed (with errs), then immediately put the dir back, pushed again with less changes, and it worked... until I put the playfab folder back:

.. When I put the playfab dir back, it still doesn't work, so trying your method now

 

To update,

Can you please rename the file and folder back to:
PlayFabSDK.meta
PlayFabSDK

^ Hmm, perhaps I'm misunderstanding:

I renamed PlayFabSDK.meta to PlayFabSDK.meta2 , and it seemed to generate a new one.
I renamed PlayFabSDK to PlayFabSDK2, then renamed it back to PlayFabSDK and pushed:

Same err. Still trying different renaming conventions - can you please clarify this a bit more, @holliebuckets ? Thanks!

EDIT: I could push as "playFabSdk2" but renaming back gives the err. Still trying a few things

 

Hi @dylanh7244,
When you renamed the file PlayFabSDK.meta2 you changed the extension type. meta2 is NOT a recognized extension for Unity. Unity will regenerate a .meta for PlayFabSDK2.

A great resource to understand Asset Importing in Unity can be found in the Manual:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/BehindtheScenes.html

Because of all the renaming issue you are currently experiencing, my advice would be to delete the entire project from your local computer and re-download the project from the Cloud. This will ensure your current state matches what is on the server, and you will be able to continue working.
