Problem with Entities 0.0.12-preview.2, maybe it's caused by Burst 0.2.4-preview.5

I updated my project to Entities 0.0.12-preview.2 today.
Switch back to Unity from other app, it will cause a compile or something similar.
It would make Unity to download something from cache server.
The focus is outside Unity again.
I switch back to Unity Editor and the download from cache server appears again.
Then I can never switch back to Unity Editor. It doesn't happen with Entities 0.0.12-preview.1.

 

I am not currently at my work computer, everything went to hell installing Entities 0.0.12-preview.1.
On any project where i used the GameObjectComponent

Code (CSharp):

1. ReflectionTypeLoadException: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.
2. System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes () (at <e1a80661d61443feb3dbdaac88eeb776>:0)
3. Unity.Entities.DefaultWorldInitialization.Initialize (System.String worldName, System.Boolean editorWorld) (at C:/Users/avvie/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.12-preview.2/Unity.Entities.Hybrid/Injection/DefaultWorldInitialization.cs:69)
4. Unity.Entities.AutomaticWorldBootstrap.Initialize () (at C:/Users/avvie/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.12-preview.2/Unity.Entities.Hybrid/Injection/AutomaticWorldBootstrap.cs:11)

 

Me too, but you mean preview.2 right? (I filed a bug report yesterday)

 

yeah sorry.
I adapted my code to never have that component. To be completely pure.. and it still happens

Code (CSharp):

1. ReflectionTypeLoadException: Exception of type 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' was thrown.
2. System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes () (at <e1a80661d61443feb3dbdaac88eeb776>:0)
3. Unity.Entities.DefaultWorldInitialization.Initialize (System.String worldName, System.Boolean editorWorld) (at C:/Users/avvie/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.12-preview.2/Unity.Entities.Hybrid/Injection/DefaultWorldInitialization.cs:69)
4. Unity.Entities.AutomaticWorldBootstrap.Initialize () (at C:/Users/avvie/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.12-preview.2/Unity.Entities.Hybrid/Injection/AutomaticWorldBootstrap.cs:11)

and although on my pc at work i managed to downgrade the entities package, here at home where i use the hub i cant :S

 

A familiar ID! Are you the one in the same issue of Protobuf?

 

LOL I WAS THINKING THE SAME (Is this man perhaps THAT person with Blueeyes as his namespace?) hahaha what a small world!

 

I just created a new project. No burst compilier. Just the new entity package preview2
The project contains just the bootstrap script

Code (CSharp):

1. using Unity.Entities;
2. using UnityEngine;
3.  
4. public class Bootstrap {
5.  
6.     EntityManager EM;
7.     [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)]
8.     public void Init() {
9.         EM = World.Active.GetOrCreateManager<EntityManager>();
10.     }
11. }
12.  

This creates the reflection error. I have no other code on this project anywhere no scripts. just the scene folder/file that an empty project now comes with

 

Just to bump this.

I'm also getting the same error and have no way of playing around with Unity's ECS

 

You can manually downgrade to the older ones via the package manager. Currently I am staying with preview.1 and it works :

 

Are you on a mac? I dont see that layout or option to downgrade from the package manager, even the update i just did.
Anyways preview3 on the entities package is out. and it doesnt have that problem

 

Current Package Manager UI 1.8.8 that comes to Unity install doesn't have the layout to downgrade versions, you need to modify the dependencies to update the manager to the latest 1.9.8 but once you are there you can modify it to downgrade the Entities package as well.
