[SOLVED] Can not build client over CLI

hello,

i wanted to setup a cli based building system, but sadly i get an error which makes no sense and i hope someone here can help me.

the command i execute is the following:

/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -batchmode -projectPath "${WORKSPACE}" -executeMethod BuildCommand.BuildiOS -quit -logFile /dev/stdout

the error i get is the following:

[Package Manager] An error occurred while resolving packages:

  Project has invalid dependencies:

    com.unity.modules.androidjni: no such package available : com.unity.modules.androidjni

    com.unity.ugui: no such package available : com.unity.ugui

funny tho in the Unity IDE itself it works flawless. :/
i have looked trough several of the issue topics here but no solution helped me so far.....

I hope someone can help me.

 

hy @maximeb_unity ,

here are some details:
- i have installed 2020.2.1f1 over the Unity_Hub, it is the only version i currently have installed
- Unity Hub version is Version 2.4.2 (2.4.2)
- i am running macos big sure 11.1 on a 2019 macbook pro 16 inch
- i am using a custom script i found in the forum and which i modified a bit so far to serve my need better. i will attach it here
- if i execute the commands over the Unity IDE everything works fine and the clients are build.
-- ios can be compiled to an xcode project to be installed on an ipad
-- macos can be compiled
-- android can be compiled

i have checked the Unity Log folder but if i clear everything, the only log which is recreated when i execute my cli command is the upm.log

Edit 1: i have tested now if this is reproducable and actually it is.
Step 1: Create a new 3D Project
Step 2: Copy the BuildCommand.cs to the Editor folder under Assets so it gets loaded by Unity
Step 3: Close unity and open a terminal
Step 4: execute the command from below

Expected Behaviour: The client should build fine
Actual Behaviour: The Package Manager returns an error related to the ugui and androidjndi package which can not be resolved

Spoiler: cli command

/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -batchmode -projectPath "${WORKSPACE}" -executeMethod BuildCommand.BuildiOS -quit -logFile -v /dev/stdout

@maximeb_unity

after a night of sleep i took this again into my hands and checked the fact that you for some reason assumed i do not have installed Unity over the hub. I was abit confused that the path of Unity was not part of the Hub folder under Unity and wiped EVERYTHING away from my macbook related to Unity.

apparently you were right even tho i do not get how this is even possible as i always had used Unity with the hub since i can think of.
but based on the things i found, apparently i had a super weird screwup version of unity running which was "apparently" installed by the Hub, into the existing installation directly with a mixup of the 2018 package manager + unity 2020.2.1f1 + temp files of extremly old textmesh packages which in the editor appeared to be as 3.0.3 but where 2.x.x (this might also explain some issues i had with my project recently.

now i am able to build with the client just fine.
Problem solved o.o
