Question Can't get git package depdencies to work

I created a package that depends on another package. Both of these packages are on github and are private repositories.

UnityScenePostProcessingPipeline

has a dependency to

UnityScriptableObjectContainer

.

The

UnityScenePostProcessingPipeline

package.json file contains this dependency:

Code (CSharp):

1.   "dependencies": {
2.     "com.oddworm.scriptableobjectcontainer": "https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git#1.0.0"
3.   },

1.0.0

is a tag in the UnityScriptableObjectContainer git repository. I'm able to install the

UnityScriptableObjectContainer

package when I use above link

https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git#1.0.0

via "Add package from git URL..." in Package Manager.

However, when I try to install the

UnityScenePostProcessingPipeline

package from git, Unity outputs the following error to the Console window:

Code (CSharp):

1. Cannot perform upm operation: Unable to add package [https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScenePostProcessingPipeline.git]:
2.   Package com.oddworm.sceneprocessingpipeline@https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScenePostProcessingPipeline.git has invalid dependencies or related test packages:
3.     com.oddworm.scriptableobjectcontainer (dependency): Version 'https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git#1.0.0' is invalid. Expected a 'SemVer' compatible value. [NotFound]
4. UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()
5.  

If I install

UnityScriptableObjectContainer

using the above link through Package Manager first and then

UnityScenePostProcessingPipeline

, no error occurs. But I actually want that the editor pulls the dependency automatically rather than asking the user to install various packages in a specific order.

I feel like I've tried all combinations I found in the documentation for the dependency URL, all output the same error, I tried:

Code (CSharp):

1. https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git#1.0.0
2. https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git
3. https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer
4. git+https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git#1.0.0
5. git+https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git
6. git+https://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer
7. git://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git#1.0.0
8. git://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer.git
9. git://github.com/pschraut/UnityScriptableObjectContainer
10.  

Any idea what the problem could be?

 

You can't have git dependencies defined on git packages

If you do want to use Git dependencies for your private repository, please check out this package: https://openupm.cn/packages/com.coffee.upm-git-extension/?subPage=readme
