Reference to type 'AssemblyBuilderAccess' claims it is defined in 'mscorlib', but could not be found

Hi, I was testing one of my plugins on 2018.3b to see if anything needed changing and this new error appeared when using the Assembly Builder from Reflection.Emit

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets\Plugins\QFSW\Quantum Console\CSharpCompiler\CustomDynamicDriver.cs(164,33): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'AssemblyBuilder' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
2.  

I'm lead to believe that the issue is either:

A) a bug with 2018.3b meaning the implementation is not found
B) an intentional removal of the AssemblyBuilder
C) The AssemblyBuilder has not yet been implemented to this beta build of 2018.3b

If this is something that will not be present in the release version, then I don't need to take any further action. Is this intended however or not? and if it is intended how can we work around this?

Many thanks

 

Ah! That was it, thanks!

 

Are there any preprocessors that allow us to determine which compatability level is used? I use #if NET_4_6 but this didn't trigger it

 

I think I've found a bug.

In my normal assemblies, it works fine. However when I have an editor only assembly as specified by the asmdef, it stops working. Most likely due to the editor always using 4.x behind the hood, but then how can I use the equivalent preprocessor in the editor assembly? (the inspector wont work if the non editor class doesn't exist)

I can send you the project as a repro if you need it. I'm not sure if its a bug or if I'm being stupid

 

My plugin requires .NET 4 to function. So in each of my scripts I now have

Code (CSharp):

1. #if NET_4_6 && !NET_STANDARD_2_0
2. #define QC_SUPPORTED
3. #endif

Then I wrap the code inside

QC_SUPPORTED

This works fine.

My editor then checks if

!QC_SUPPORTED

, and shows a dialogue to upgrade the project. This is so if a user imports it without the correct settings, instead of an error they get a clear error and a button to upgrade for them. This is done like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. #else
2.         public override void OnInspectorGUI()
3.         {
4.             DrawBanner();
5.             EditorGUILayout.HelpBox("NET 4.6 scripting backend is required for Quantum Console. Please upgrade/switch to the correct .NET backend before attempting to use Quantum Console.", MessageType.Error, true);
6.  
7.             GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
8.             GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
9.             if (GUILayout.Button("Upgrade Project to NET 4.6", GUILayout.Width(170)))
10.             {
11.                 PlayerSettings.scriptingRuntimeVersion = ScriptingRuntimeVersion.Latest;
12.  
13.                 string projectPath = Application.dataPath.Replace("Assets", string.Empty);
14.                 EditorApplication.OpenProject(projectPath);
15.             }
16.             GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
17.             GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
18.         }
19. #endif

This however, doesn't seem to be working. The asmdef for the editor code is set to only include the editor platform. If i remove the asmdef, or make it include build targets, it works again.

 

From my understanding and testing, yes, but I may be wrong. Even if this is intended behaviour, I then still need a compile time way to check the projects API level

 

No worries, thanks for the help!

 

Ah so it's just a beta bug then? If so that's all fine, I don't officially support beta builds so as long as it fixed for the final 2018.3 release that's fine!

 

The problem is my code won't compile since it references stuff from the non editor code that doesn't exist

 

That looks interesting. I could give it a try And yeah there's definitely work arounds, but it just feels like an oversight that would be nice to have a more native solution for

 

Any idea how this will behave in the final 2018.3 release? The same as currently or changed?

 

Awesome, thanks
