(Case 1108939) Addressables fail to build if dependancy is deleted but it is still used by the build

We have run into an issue where if a dependency to an addressable asset is deleted, the system throws one of a number of exceptions (depending on what exactly was deleted, by the looks of it) when trying to build the bundles, since the cache is then pointing either at a null asset or a file that does not exist. Clearing the build cache "fixes" this but is undesirable for obvious reasons.

Has anyone else run into this and does anyone have a good temporary workaround that is *not* clearing the build cache?

 

Thanks so much for filing this as a ticket and mentioning the number. We'll look into it.
