Invalid Project Path

This is a unity on linux(fedora 29) tried creating a new project but instead i got this

 

I'm trying to open a project with Unity Hub. No matter where I place the file on my hard drive, I keep getting this error:
Any ideas? Is this a configuration setting somewhere within the application? Thanks!

 

also i have this problem. ( in linux i don't have any problem but on windows )

 

I have this problem too on a computer on windows 10. No matter in which folder I try to import a cloud project, I get that "Invalid Project path" message. (unity hub 2.1.0)

Edit : it also fails to create a new project

Edit 2 : after some trial and error, I installed an old version (0.18.1) and upgraded to 2.1.0 from it and I was able to import a project from the cloud. I was also able to create a new project.

 

How did you get an old version? Only found out that Unity don't want people to innstall older versions of unity hub.

 

In unity hub select add then browse to and select/highlight the folder that contains the "Assets" and "Library" folders of your project. Then click on the "Select Folder" button. Just make sure you are selecting the folder that holds the "Assets" and "Library" sub folders.

 

th

thank you that helped alot

 

Linux is case-sensitive. I fixed my problem by renaming the "assets" in the main project folder to "Assets" ... Hope this helps someone

 

This is still broken in Unity2019.3.0.

It's rather sad that in 2020 Unity still crashes on something as simple as 100% valid filenames.

And - for bonus points! - the 2020 version of the Unity Hub still has the wrong error message!

Also - double bonus points! - the 2020 Unity Hub creates the project knowing that it will crash the next time you try to open it.

No warnings. No errors. And when it crashes ... it displays the wrong error message. Sigh

 

This has been in the codebase for a year or more, looking at this thread. Has it not been logged as a bug by anyone? Do you have to wait for an external person to create a bug report before Unity can attempt it?

So far with 2019.3 I keep running into bugs every time I open it - it's still a beta, not a full release (this is on brand new projects, on first-ever install of Unity on new machines). It's hard to believe that logging obvious "no one can have even installed Unity and not noticed this" bugs is worthwhile right now - they must have already been logged by others.

(Unity is currently lagging approximately 2 months behind on responding to new bugs, so - as far as I know? - there's no way for me to see what's been logged already, and won't be for another month or severa months)

 

Also: each year we keep being told that the forums are the best place to report and query about outstanding bugs and feature requests (and, of course, the entire feedback system is still a burning wasteland of deleted URLs - so much content that Unity simply destroyed , still heavily linked all over the web and Google).

I used to be afraid of using a forum for bug reporting and mgmt (it felt wrong), but ... at the same time: I am still working around bugs that Unity has known about for 5+ years for which the ONLY support / workaround information is in threads on this forum. Given that ... it seems best to use the forums for sharing with other devs, unless we find some bug that is obviously new or obscure enough that it probably hasn't been reported already.

Also: the bug reporter is STILL BROKEN in the most basic ways (it blocks millions of email addresses for no reason other than someone writing bad code!) that many of us reported over and over again going back many years. Stuff like that makes it less attractive to report bugs manually unless there's a REALLY good reason to do so.

 

Same problem for me and suggestions on why this happens and how to resolve?

 

I can pick any place to try to Add a project but always get this error too. There's no Library folder and the assets folder is in a place that simply can't be where Unity expects me to create a project. Regardless, I still tried and still got the error.

Is there a single person who has managed to successfully create a project? I'm already out of ideas.

how to resolve this problem?

 

I got around the problem by opening Unity (Not Unity Hub). File->New Project

 

Esse erro ainda continua na versão 2.3.1, se tudo mencionado acima, alguém tem alguma idéia do que poderia ser?

 

Não. Para algumas pessoas não há problema. Para a maioria, há.

I have submitted a bug report a few days ago and gotten no reply. Is this really going to be permanent? I sort of need Unity to recognize assets. I do not wish to go through the process of telling the content creator I demand a refund, simply because Unity refuses to allow me to choose my own Project path. Like Why ask me where I want the path to be if it will just tell me my wild guess was wrong?

 

I just had same problem now but i got it working now. it happens to be that the project folder i downloaded came inside another folder so i changed only the first one but changing the inside one too just fixed it. make sure that the folders do not have any restricted characters.

 

Thank you, the assets folder was misspelled!

 

+1, just create a New Project (empty one), once Unity starts up you can do File -> Open Scene and select the Project scene you are trying to import, no need to rename anything.

 

None of the things I've read here have worked, but I got it working. For me, I looked at as tutorial on the Unity site and it wanted to open in Unity Hub. I opened it and it started creating files in Unity. Ever since I did that, my assets will load. It seems Unity installed without some files it needed.

I think it was 3D Beginner: Tutorial Resources. By the way, the path to your assets is C:\Users\Username\3D Objects

 

I got the same error. I tried everything I could for 3 hours but I still do not know why? I keep getting the invalid project path message. It is not a good sign so far. Please help.

 

OK so the way I got around this problem

1. Install the Unity 2017.4.40of1 (LTS)
2. Open it and create new project
3. Once it opens Close it and open the unity hub, the project should be there.
4. Change Unity Version to the version you need, in my case I want the latest release 2019.3.14of1
5. Follow the steps to convert and that's that.

hope it works for at least some of you guys!

 

Anti Virus like IOBIT Malware Fighter and Malwarebytes are tested to deny access of applications to access other files in certain ways. Consider disabling your anitivrus temporarily and run Unity Hub as Administrator

 

The Solution is you need to uninstall/delete the Editor because the HUB is callling from another location.

So go to Setting in HUB find General then Unity Editors Folder Modify then press save 50x times to make sure it saved there.

Then download the editor then create a project.

This will work on linux i just solved it now.


Extra Info:
if you want to know where the old editor is saved run
sudo updatedb
locate Unity
then delete it
I found mine in a folder called ~ in downloads that is not normal>

 

Thankyou, very helpful. How stupid is Unity if they haven't fixed this problem yet? Whem creating a project they just need to automatically add these folders.

 

This solved it for me however I didn't have a "Library" folder. It didn't work initially, so I manually added a "Library" folder and tried again -- it worked!

Thanks for your help!

 

Apparently, my unity doesn't open my project I tried moving it still has same problem.

 

And Yes it does have problem to open a project:
"Failed to resolve project template", "failed to decompress"

 

what worked for me was deleting or moving all my misc files inside project folders ,
i only left these folders :
"Assets"
"Library"
"Packages"
"ProjectSettings"

then it opend up ,

 

Had this problem today with 2020.3.0f1. It was due to there being a space at the end of the project name in 'Project Settings'

 

como se puede resolver

 

i still have no idea on what to do, somebody plz help me

 

Same here. This is soo stupid. I cant get it to work

 

really Same problem here any solution? A big software like this with a huge bug

 

Ahhhh, this is so annoying. I can't even create a project. I downloaded Unity about 4 hours ago and ALL this 4 hours I was spending to solve the problem. Why the best program wanna make me cry?!

 

Not sure if this is still helpful, but the problem is likely that you need to open the folder you are trying to create a project from and choose a folder within it; you're choosing a parent folder instead of the target folder holding the expected assets.

 

Haha this is so funny, I couldn't create a new project so came here due to this specific error. Then it dawned on me.

Turns out a lot of us are actually clicking Add and not New

So if you want to create a new project form scratch you have to click New

If you are importing an existing project click Add.

You will get this error message otherwise and it's easy to mis-click since Add sounds like add a new project in a way.

I think the UI should be made clearer

 

this is same

 

The problem I had was that the folder I used was called "Unity Games" But then I changed it to "UnityGames" and it worked. Usually, spaces are not recognized by programs so it did not count as an actual folder.
Hope it helps

 

thank you so much sir you really helped me you are a hero

 

Every time I try to create a new project in the unity hub, it closes. When I reopen it I get an "invalid file path" error message. After closing it and reopening it again, the project is not there. I can't open Unity either. Any ideas?
