Bug catalog.json contains unmatched delimiters

Hi, one of our players reported a bug of not loading game (we use Addressables for async load of local files). In logs we see that error:

Code (CSharp):

1. System.Exception: Invalid path in TextDataProvider : '#ERROR-{UnityEngine.AddressableAssets.Addressables.RuntimePath}/catalog.json contains unmatched delimiters#'.

Which prevents game loading (because addressables loading is failed)
We can’t reproduce that on our machines, but player definitely can according to logs. We asked him which country he is from - Argentina, as it seems some issue with culture variants of text parsing.
Game built for steam, standalone win 64, unity 2021.3.9f1 (one of December versions, as our latest production patch been in December 2022)

 

Hi,

we also got a report from a player with the exact same issue and the same error in the log. The player is from Chile. We are using Unity 2022.2.4f1.

Have you found a solution?

 

Nope, still waiting for answer from Unity here as you can see

 

@davidla_unity maybe?

 

Bump

Bump again

 

Anyone from Addressables team can comment anything on that?

Had a fast look at the related code (EvaluateString in Library\PackageCache\com.unity.addressables@1.21.9\Runtime\Initialization\AddressablesRuntimeProperties.cs)

It seems the code can't handle the case when the full path of StreamingAssets contains '}' character. And I can reproduce the issue in a simple project on Windows:

1. Create a new project and install Addressables package (I tried latest version: 1.21.9)
2. Create a script to Call Addressables.InitializeAsync and attach it to a GameObject in the scene
3. Build Addressables
4. Build Development Player in a folder containing '}', like 'p}roduct'
5. Launch it

I have submitted a bug report for it: IN-37475

 

Just checked player report! Yes it is! He is exactly have "}" in his folder path

 

Unity QA reproduced the issue: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...-fails-to-load-if-the-path-contains-character

 

Nice!
