    Not sure if it's a specific WebGL issue but here it is. Our WebGL project keeps appending "{fileID: 0}" to the projectsettings.asset file. Seems to happen after each build.

    Any idea why?

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  preloadedAssets:
    2.   - {fileID: 0}
    3.   - {fileID: 0}
    4.   - {fileID: 0}
    5.   - {fileID: 0}
    6.   - {fileID: 0}
    7.   - {fileID: 0}
    8.   - {fileID: 0}
    9.   - {fileID: 0}
    10.   - {fileID: 0}
    11.   - {fileID: 0}
    12.   - {fileID: 0}
    13.   - {fileID: 0}
    14.   - {fileID: 0}
    15.   - {fileID: 0}
    16.   - {fileID: 0}
    17.   - {fileID: 0}
    18.   - {fileID: 0}
    19.   - {fileID: 0}
    20.   - {fileID: 0}
    21.   - {fileID: 0}
    22.   - {fileID: 0}
    23.   - {fileID: 0}
    24.   - {fileID: 0}
    25.   - {fileID: 0}
    26.   - {fileID: 0}

    Same here but we're building for Windows. It keeps messing with our git repo. What's going on ?

    No idea but found that just removing them from time to time doesn't have any ill effect.

    Still, very weird. Using PlasticSCM, 2020.2 Beta (Happened in 2020.1 too), on Windows, WebGL.

    That is really odd, haven't heard about this before.

    Looking at some of the test projects that I have been working on, none of those have accumulated entries in there. If you happen to find a way to repro, that would be awesome!

    This may be an old post at this point but I am also experiencing this with Unity version 2019.4.13f1 and building for the universal windows platform

    Thanks for the reports, it is great to know that this is an issue. It would be helpful if someone is able to report a bug using a project where it consistently reproduces, since this one looks like it does not happen all the time.

    We have it occasionally as well. Are any of you using the new Input system?

    I do.

    Also, I'm pretty sure this only happens when building (Android build, Windows editor, 2020.3)

    We're on Both. I cannot pinpoint when it happens though.

    Current project is WebGL with occasional standalone builds.

    I am not keeping an active eye on it - to be honest - but I do see the list of preloaded assets increase now and then and seeing our inputsettings asset as the last entry in the list.

    EDIT: Unity 2020.3.1 btw

    I filed a bug report but then cannot repro on their machines. Anybody managed to generate a project where they can repro even after a clean repository clone and/or copying the project to a different machine?

    Note: my current machine is Linux, and the new line appears when I build for Windows, OSX or Linux

    I've spoken with the input team and opened a ticket for this issue. I'll add the public link when it's generated.

    Issue is occurring for me on 2021.3.5f1

    Is it safe to delete the generated file?

    2021.3.5f1 doesn't use Input System version 1.4.3. That's why.

    And yes, its is safe to delete them.

    We don't use the new input system and this issue occurs for us on 2021 LTS, and specifically also 2021.2.19f1
