Sources under assembly definition don't see Package Manager plugins assembly

For now, I cannot refer to the Package Manager packets in source files which under assembling definition. Is there a way or is it planned to add the way to use Package Manager plugins for some assembling definition files?

For example, I have file UIText.cs which used TextMeshPro class. And UIText is under assembling definition. It doesn't see TextMeshPro at all. I use latest Unity 2018.1.0f2. Probably it is a bug.

What I am doing now I just add TMPro from Asset Store. This worked fine for me but this is just a workaround.

Should I create a bug report or it is intended behavior?

 

I was spending the last few hours on that problem too. In order to get the reference to the package manager version of TMP, simply edit the .asmdef file in an editor and add "Unity.TextMeshPro" in the references slot.

 

This seems like a bug yeah

 

reported it

 

Bump

 

I got this reply

 

I think this got fixed in 2018.1.6 guys.

There's now a packages folder under all the other folders in your project window.
