Couldn't find the packages list. Be sure there is a file called PackageImportList in your project

Getting this error in my project:

And it always appears with this notice, which I don't get in any other project either:

Google returns 0 results. Am I the only one with this error? Seems unlikely...

I'm getting these in one project, not in any other. I'm trying to compare this project to my other projects and I see no differences regarding packages. I haven't got a file named PackageImportList in any of them.

They appear constantly while I use the editor. I want both of them gone. How?

I'm not using any packages in this project at the moment.

 

I had exported a prefab from the 3D Game Kit and imported into this project and apparently there was a dll in the scripts folder causing these issues. Deleting it removed both these log messages.

 

Thanks, but I was able to fix it by removing the dll file, which I didn't want in there anyway, it was just something that snuck in from the 3D Game Kit.

 

I am having the same problem and do not have anything from a 3D Game Kit. Where should I look to resolve this?

 

The files that were causing this issue in my project were located at Assets/Scripts/Editor/PackageManagerAssembly/PackageManagerAssembly.dll. Look for any files with the .dll extension––deleting these fixed it for me!

 

I got this message too, and I also export some asset from 3D Game Kit, still looking for the reason, thanks all of you

 

Had the same problem. Solved adding and empty "PackageImportList.txt" in Assets/Editor/PackageManagerAssembly

 

Thanks, this worked for me as well.

 

Its work for me !!!

 

Bei mir gibt es diesen Ordner nicht
Kann mir jemand Hefen.

 

This work for me too!

 

Very annoying error, pops up in the 2020.2 beta versions 5 and 6 ugh

 

You'll probably want to report these as a bug then https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

 

With over 145 bugs reported across my work and personal email, and winning the RTX 2080 in the last beta prize draw, I am a bit spent.

I will be taking a small break from bug reporting as I need to focus on development of my projects

 

What I can do is just check with the Package Manager team to see if this is on their radar for these versions.

 

Looks like it's already logged - you can follow the status here: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Gamekit3D/issues/15

 

Still happening on Unity 2020.3.6f1, any update?

 

I just heard back from the team saying that it'll be fixed in the next package update. For now as a temp fix, deleting the whole Scripts/Editor/PackageManagerAssembly folder will remove the error.

 

Yeah you all have to watch some of those packages being uploaded, horrible bugs come from them and they gank all the settings up so you have to start over.

 

I don´t have a Editor Folder in Assets, any ideas?

 

i had the same problem. people are say create empty file .txt... but how do we noobs do that? lol once i realized there was something missing from the package( packageimportlist ) i just create a new project, imported the same gamekit that i was using, searched the project search field, i searched ( packageimportlist ) and found this

PackageImportList and PackageManagerChecker i then seclected both and exported... then imported it to the project that was missing it and everything was all good

 

read the error carefully it is saying there must be a file name call PackageImportList
[Auto Package] : Couldn't find the packages list. Be sure there is a file called PackageImportList in your project
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
PackageChecker:CheckPackage()
UnityEditor.EditorAssembliesrocessInitializeOnLoadAttributes().

Solution:
Goto that folder Assets/Editor/PackageManagerAssembly and add the file PackageImportList.txt

 

I created a txt file named "PackageImportList" in this folder and the problem is solved!!

 

Worked thanks man
