Scriptable Define Symbols get deleted [Case 1418831]

Hello,

As the title says, I have been having this issue for a long time now; can’t use Scriptable Define Symbols cause no matter what, they get deleted when you add any after recompile. Has this been reported?

Thanks,

CASE 1418887

I have several scriptable define symbols that I enter manually depending on what I want to compile.
In 2022.1, whatever I enter, gets rolled back to how it was before. I get a message saying "reloading script assemblies" or something in that line, which I guess means it's doing a recompile. And then, the define symbols roll back to whatever it was.

It seems to get whatever it's setup on the "standalone" build settings. Whatever you change on ios or android for instance, will get the same settings than Standalone.

using 2022.1b15 in windows.

I even tried removing them and restart the editor. And they get back!

So I had to go into the projectssettings.asset file and change the text manually. But only the one in standalone are taken into account.

100% confirmed. I can't even change it by script. It always reverts to what it was before and there is nothing you can do. This happens with iOS.

@LeonhardP Is there any news on this? I am stuck in debug mode right now since I cannot change the define symbol through the API or code.

 

It's a mess. In the editor it seems to work only with the defines setup on "standalone", ignoring whatever you have for ios or android. But if you compile, it gets whatever you have on ios or android. But you won't be able to see it or edit it. I have to manually edit the project platform settings with wordpad and load the editor for it to work. It also provokes all kind of issues internally. The physics seem to be all off vs 2021.2.19. Probably because it is compiling for standalone internally instead of the selected platform.

 

I believe it happens in all betas. At least all that I recall.

 

wow guys, 2022.1.8f and I got this one back again. Seriously? I'm also reading several complains from the previous month.

 

2022.1.9 and still failing! we can't build any project outside of the desktop platform.
