    We have been trying to get this to build all day, to no avail.

    These have been building fine until after the recent queue/delay fixes, and doesn't seem to be anything defined on our side.

    Me too

    I noticed this in the full log:
    975: [Unity] -define:ENABLE_UNITY_COLLECTIONS_CHECKS
    976: [Unity] -define:ENABLE_BURST_AOT
    977: [Unity] -define:UNITY_TEAM_LICENSE
    978: [Unity] -define:UNITY_PRO_LICENSE
    979: [Unity] -define:VUFORIA_ANDROID_SETTINGS
    980: [Unity] -define:UNITY_HAS_GOOGLEVR
    981: [Unity] -define:UNITY_HAS_TANGO
    1039: [Unity] /define:UNITY_CLOUD_BUILD

    Note the / instead of - for parameter.

    Mr. Unity could you fixed this ?

    It seems to work if I force it to version 2018.2.16f1 of unity instead of the newest version.

    This was an issue introduced in 2018.2.17f1 and a fix is being investigated currently. As @sperepel pointed out, you can force your project to user 2018.2.16f1 rather than "latest 2018.2" and you shouldn't run into this issue. Will keep you all updated on progress here.

    Wanted to update everyone with another possible solution/workaround. We have narrowed down that this behaviour will only be exhibited if the Project contains UnityScript(Javascript) files. Removing these files or converting them to C# should alleviate this issue.

    @ollieblanks Is there a way to search a project for UnityScript(Javascript) files? (I have more than 3,000 script files, a tiny portion of which might be javascript, from external assets).

    EDIT: For others, a brute for approach, from file explorer, is simply to search for the .js file extension:

    How do you force the specific version? In cloud build -> config -> [target] -> basic options -> unity version I can only select 2018.2.

    To the team: If you have known this issue for over a week, it'd have been nice to either disable 2018.2.17f1 for cloud builds, or at least show us a warning in the build page. I just wasted 2 hours looking into what could be wrong with my project before finding this.

    If you have a unix shell, e.g. the mac terminal, you can run find, like this from the project directory:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. find . -name "*.js"

    Just confirming that removing .js files did fix my cloud build problems in several projects (exibited in the log as “compile error in the editor”). These were .js file that I wasn’t even using, happened to be left over from old Standard Assets or Asset Store packages.
