    Hi,

    I am using Unity 2018.2.8f1 and I can not build the player. While it's working fine in the editor, a build gives me some errors, the strange thing is that it tries to compile code inside 'Editor' folders, this of course can not work.
    I've removed the incremental compiler but the result is the same.

    I can not tell what changed in the project, I was able to build it at some point.

    Are you using assembly definition files? They don't respect Editor folders. You need to add Editor asmdefs.

    Thank you, that was my problem.
    So I added a new assembly definition file in each Editor folder of the project with the 'Editor' target and with the main asmdef as a reference.
    The build is now working.

    Is there a way to fix this? I have a bunch of third party plugins that don't do this, and now I have to go through all of my imported packages and add these to their stuff manually. Maybe assembly definitions are just worth removing from my project entirely. They seem to just slow things down more.

    You could use asmrefs,they make things a little easier. It really depends on how you set up the asmdefs as to whether it will be faster or not. You want minimal dependencies and auto reference disabled.
