'Library' and 'Debug' Folder names are reserved?

    I was running into all kinds of errors about missing Class Files, mostly from the package InControl.*, which is a GamePad plugin we use in our game: http://www.gallantgames.com/pages/incontrol-introduction

    Eventually I traced the issue back to 2 problems:
    * InControl stores their script files in InControl/Library, and UnityBuild is ignoring it. In my project, the full path was: Assets/_Libs/InControl/Library
    * UnityBuild also seems to be ignoring the sub folder: InControl/Library/Debug

    After changing the names of these two folders, the build kicked out ok.

    Is this intended behavior? Is it documented anywhere?
    Cheers,

    @shawnblais - are you using Git? We've seen this happen when people have put "library" in their .gitignore file. It's better to make sure .gitignore is only ignoring the main Library folder, not all folders named "Library".

    Let me know if this isn't the problem. Thanks!

    We are, but our ignore pattern is specific:
    Dev/src/Temp
    Dev/src/Library
    Dev/src/obj
    *.csproj
    *.sln*
    Builds
    *.suo
    *.lnk
    UnityVS.VersionSpecific.dll
    UnityVS.VersionSpecific.dll.meta

    I had recreated the cloudbuild project from scratch, and got the exact same error. Changing the folders fixed it again.

    I went ahead and created a support ticket for this.
