Missing TextMeshPro .cs file when building a UWP vs solution with 2018.2.0f

So I just create a new project. Set scripting backend to .net, target device to hololens, and activate Unit C# projects in the Debugging settings.

Now when I open to solution in vs2017 I get a lot of errors about missing files

Code (CSharp):

1. [Failure] Could not find file 'D:\devel\workspace\Hololens\tmptest\Packages\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime\TMPro_FontUtilities.cs'.
2. [Failure] Could not find file 'D:\devel\workspace\Hololens\tmptest\Packages\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime\TMPro_Private.cs'.
3. [Failure] Could not find file 'D:\devel\workspace\Hololens\tmptest\Packages\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_CoroutineTween.cs'.
4. [Failure] Could not find file 'D:\devel\workspace\Hololens\tmptest\Packages\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_ListPool.cs'.
5. [Failure] Could not find file 'D:\devel\workspace\Hololens\tmptest\Packages\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_TextUtilities.cs'.
6.  
7. and many more
8.  

That's of couse correct as the Packages folder only contains a manifest.json file. I can work around this problem by copying \AppData\Local\Unity\cache\packages\packages.unity.com\com.unity.textmeshpro@1.2.4 to the Packages folder and rename it deleting the @1.2.4

Nevertheless this is kind of annoying. I think an empty project should create a correct solution that compiles out of the box. Is this a known bug or some configuration error on my side?

 

Confirmed in my project as well after upgrading to 2018.2.

Thanks for the work around, seems to do the job.

 

Seeing this as well with 2018.2.0f. Thanks for the workaround!

 

Also seeing this, also verified workaround works. Bug report created: https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?1060824_lpa048iqlm5qobv2

It seems that the Unity.TextMeshPro generated solution contains entries of the form:

Code (CSharp):

1.     <Compile Include="$(UnityProjectDir)Packages\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime\PackageResourceImporterWindow.cs">
2.       <Link>s\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime\PackageResourceImporterWindow.cs</Link>
3.     </Compile>
4.  

However, the s\com.unity.textmeshpro\Scripts\Runtime directory is also empty.

 

A temporary solution is to go to Windows -> PackageManager and remove TextMesh Pro

 

@Roest_ TY! so much <3 <3 safed my project.

 

TY! for workaround.
Now using 2018.3.0b5 but upgraded project from 2018.2.

 

Thank you very much @Roest_ for this workaround.
