TextMesh Pro Can't reference Text Mesh Pro files from an Assembly made with Assembly Definition

Hello, I want to have a section of my code that I don't change often inside an assembly definition, but the problem is that it references Text Mesh Pro classes. Specifically, it is a GUI wrapper that makes GUI creation easier, with tons of helper functions. (It is a big file, thats why I want to have a separate assembly.)

The problem is that I can't convince Unity to recognize the references to Text Mesh Pro, theres no way to select TMPro as a dependency in the dependency list.

I am using Unity 2018.1b13, with Package-version TMPro.

How can I do this?

 

See the following post.

In short, you need to edit your .asmdef to manually add a reference to the Unity.TextMeshPro assembly for the runtime and Unity.TextMeshPro.Editor for the Editor one.

 

Works fantastic, thanks! Sorry for the redundant post, I was sure that I had checked everywhere :/

 

Glad it is working

 

@Stephan_B I ran into trouble with Unity 2018.2.6f1 and TMP 1.2.4. Even though I manually added the Unity.TextMeshPro assembly to my ASMDEF, TextMeshProUGUI and TMP_CharacterInfo cannot be found. Unity.TextMeshPro.Editor is unnecessary as it does not change anyhing.

Furthermore, the location you posted in the other thread does not inherit any TMP related packages

What assembly do TextMeshProUGUI and TMP_CharacterInfo belong to and how can I find those if such a situation arises for other missing assemblies?

 

Just double checked and on Windows, the location of the package is : "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Unity\cache\packages\packages.unity.com" and creating a new project, in 2018.2.6f1, this is what I see


Double check via the Package Manager that the TMP UPM package is in fact installed.

BTW: Unless you have modified any of the code in the package cache, it is safe to delete the whole "cache" folder. This will force all package to be updated.

 

@Stephan_B ah, I see. the path is different from what you said in the other post. It works now.

 

How can i do that

 

hi, what you should do:
create 'Unity.TextMeshPro.Editor.asmdef' and 'Unity.TextMeshPro.asmdef' in your project.
move it manually to:
Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro/Scripts/Editor/
Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro/Scripts/Runtime/

works for me right now
