Plastic SCM not detecting scene changes.

Hello, I work in a team of three with Plastic SCM (through unity, 2 macs 1 pc).
We have recently noticed that while one of us edits a scene and saves it, the scene does not show up in the pending changes. Our temporary solution is to select the changed files and manually check them in. Is there some setting we can change?
Any idea why this is happening?

 

Thank you for the reply,
All the scenes have already been checked in once for sure when I created the project.

this is my ignore file contents similar to my colleague's.

My colleagues are graphic designers, I was hopping to avoid it and work only in unity like we used to do in collab.
I will ask them to do it this way and report back.

 

Same issue here. Plastic was working just fine until today. But for some reason now some files are not showing in the plastic pending changes tab.
Here is what I did:
- modify a scene
- modify a script

The pending tab shows the script but not the scene
In the project view, I see the purple arrow on the scene asset, showing that Unity has spotted a change on that asset
If I open the branch explorer and look at the pending changes view, it sees the scene and the script

Using Unity 2021.3.16f1
Never had this problem before and I have been using Plastic for a long time

 

@carlosalba1985 - I'm having this same problem and am using the Plastic SCM GUI. I've been using Plastic for a few years now with no problem until yesterday, which was my first pull to a different computer after the Unity integration.

 

PlasticSCM Gui works fine. I am using the latest supported version control package in 2021.3 (will check that it is 2.0.1)

 

Actually I just checked and it is version 1.17.7 (Unity 2021.3.16f1)
Version 2.0.1 doesn't show in the list so I can't seem to upgrade to that version.
My version 1.17.7 displays as Version Control, but the actual package is com.unity.collab-proxy.
How can I force Unity to update it ?

 

That worked! Installed 2.0.4 on top of 1.17.7.
Still not sure why 1.17.7 didn'ty show any updates available though. That's odd..
I'll try to use it a little to see if it fixes my issues.
Thanks for helping.

 

I'm also having issues with thiss. Scenes are definitely checked in, but when i swap between my home-office and the office, despite being 100% i have checked everything in prior, i will almost always experience some scene changes that haven't been applied somehow. and I am extremely careful about play-mode, this is not the issue. incredibly frustrating to sometimes have to troubleshoot some strange bug just to find out it is because some scene change wasnt applied in plastic.. Im on unity 2022.2.11 with Version Control 2.0.3.. just seeing now there is a 2.0.5 though

 

Hi Carlosalba, yes I can easily reproduce the issue. i just did the following:
1. do some work on PC1
2. apply changes from PC1 to Plastic
3. send the local scene file "A1" to PC2 for manual diffing
3. go to PC2 and click "update" on "incoming changes"
4. manually diff the raw text from A1 with the newly updated scene file "A2" on PC2
-- A1 and A2 are identical
5. try and run scene A2 on PC2
-- immediately i see crucial scene information is not there - specifically regarding public values set for components in the inspector.

how on earth the scene files can be identical and yet still these things are not stored is perplexing to me.. are these public inspector-set values not stored in the scene files then??

i am sitting here looking at the still-correct scene on PC1. let me try and elaborate on what i see:

the first value i noticed being wrong is a

[SerializeField]
public LayerMask IgnoredPickupLayers;


in A1 this has 2 layers selected and in A2 it has no layers selected


what else can i provide to get to the bottom of this?

 

noticing now there is also a public string that i had set on PC1 on a whole bunch of components, but none of these components have them on PC2. the bewildering thing here is that if i search in the text of the raw scene file on PC2, i actually find that exact string (which is no where to be seen either in the VS solution or in the inspectors - on PC2). not just once, there are the same number of occurenses of this string as the number of objects I gave it to on PC1

wish i had just kept using git at this point

EDIT (temporary SOLUTION):
apparently, closing unity on PC2 and reopening seems to have fixed the missing references.. at least a temporary comfort for now

 

that does indeed seem to be the case yes

 

@ollieblanks checking this now and everything in the library folder is ignored except Library/PackageCache/com.unity.renderer-pipelines.universal@14.0.6/Runtime/Materials

the content itself inside this folder is ignored, so I'm actually a bit baffled why this folder is even included at all. should this have any effect on the problem mentioned earlier?
