Read only asset has no meta file

Just updated Unity to 2018.2, but issue keeps existing. In the console I have the following errors:

Read only asset Packages/com.unity.package-manager-ui/Editor/Resources/Images/Dark/Materials has no meta file.
Read only asset Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro/Editor Resources/Materials has no meta file.
Read only asset Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro/Editor Resources/Gizmos/Materials has no meta file.

I have reimported all packages 2 times but the errors are still there. What should I do?


Edit: I now include a screenshot here:

Do you have Write permissions to the project directory? If on Windows, consider creating a project under C:\Users\[username]\Documents

 

Hi Jeff, thanks for replying, yes my project is under that exact location!


[solved]

Solution, I did go to console, right click on the package.

Then select open in explorer.

I found that this package was not in the expected Users\[username]\Documents file structure. Also the dates were old so it seems my reimports had had no effects. So in windows explorer I deleted the complete package.

Then I reopened the project in Unity, and at package, reimport all.

This fixed it.

 

Hello All,

We are receiving the same error message with a different setup.

The custom package is loaded from a remote GIT repo. We changed the manifest.json accordingly and add the following.

Code (csharp):

1. "dependencies": {
2.     ...
3.     "com.orbamsterdam.unitytoolkit": "https://<username>@<git url of the repo>",
4.     ...

When we start the project with this we dont receive any errors from the GIT.
But the same console errors about the meta file.



On top of this it adds the following to the manifest.json

Code (csharp):

1. "lock": {
2.     "com.orbamsterdam.unitytoolkit": {
3.       "hash": "<hash goes here>",
4.       "revision": "HEAD"
5.     }
6.   }

It is a blank project in 2019.1.4f1

Any idea what we might be missing?

Cheers,
Doruk

 

Hi! Were you able to find a solution to this?

 

Bump. Having the same issue with a different Git repo.

when you get the error
"json has no meta"

it's because the package that you are trying to load through UPM doesn't include the meta files.
try downloading the content of this package outside of unity either through npm if it's an npm package, or clone the repo if it's a github link
then drag n drop the folder in a new unity project to auto generate the meta files
then rehost the package and include the meta files
it should import fine now
