Question how to resolve The type or namespace name 'bool3x3' could not be found error

Hi,
I am working on a project in Unity 2021.3.8f1 LTS version, and suddenly my project has this error :

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.mathematics@1.2.6\Unity.Mathematics\uint3x3.gen.cs(669,39): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'bool3x3' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I changed the version to 2022.1.14f1, but still getting the same errors.

Please help

Thank you

 

This highlights the importance of using source control so you can instantly see and revert the change.

About the fastest way I have found to make a project and avoid all this noise is to create the project, then as soon as you see the files appear, FORCE-STOP (hard-kill) Unity (with the Activity Manager or Task Manager), then go hand-edit the Packages/manifest.json file as outlined in the above post, then reopen Unity.

Sometimes the package system gets borked from all this unnecessary churn and requires the package cache to be cleared:

PROPERLY CONFIGURING AND USING ENTERPRISE SOURCE CONTROL

I'm sorry you've had this issue. Please consider using proper industrial-grade enterprise-qualified source control in order to guard and protect your hard-earned work.

Personally I use git (completely outside of Unity) because it is free and there are tons of tutorials out there to help you set it up as well as free places to host your repo (BitBucket, Github, Gitlab, etc.).

You can also push git repositories to other drives: thumb drives, USB drives, network drives, etc., effectively putting a complete copy of the repository there.

As far as configuring Unity to play nice with git, keep this in mind:

I usually make a separate repository for each game, but I have some repositories with a bunch of smaller test games.

It is only simple economics that you must expend as much effort into backing it up as you feel the work is worth in the first place. Digital storage is so unbelievably cheap today that you can buy gigabytes of flash drive storage for about the price of a cup of coffee. It's simply ridiculous not to back up.

If you plan on joining the software industry, you will be required and expected to know how to use source control.

Reimporting all the packages resolves errors,
Thanks
