TextMesh Pro TMPro update to 2.1.5 causes 'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'PS5'

I use Unity 2019.4.20f1 and updated TMPro from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5 through the Package Manager.

After the update was complete, Unity printed the following errors to the Console window:

Code (CSharp):

1. Library\PackageCache\com.unity.textmeshpro@2.1.5\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_InputField.cs(431,42): error CS0117: 'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'PS5'
2. Library\PackageCache\com.unity.textmeshpro@2.1.5\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_InputField.cs(455,42): error CS0117: 'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'PS5'
3. Library\PackageCache\com.unity.textmeshpro@2.1.5\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_InputField.cs(482,38): error CS0117: 'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'PS5'

This error caused Unity to reimport all assets in the project when I restarted the editor to check if a restart "fixes" the errors (as with so many other Unity errors). However, I terminated the Unity process when I saw Unity is going to reimport everything and changed back to 2.1.4 in packages.json instead, to avoid the reimport.

I assume the "'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'PS5'" isn't just going away with an editor restart.

How can I upgrade from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5 using Unity 2019.4.20f1?

 

I just found the answer in another thread:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/version-1-5-5-2-1-5-and-3-0-5-now-available.1060757/#post-7046077

Solution: Don't update to 2.1.5, wait for next TMPro version instead.

 

I got owned by our own documentation where I did check if it was available for 2019.4 which it is ... but it is for 2019.4.23f1 and up

Out of curiosity, any reason you can't update to 2019.4.24f1 which is the latest LTS for 2019.4?

 

Because it requires everybody on the team to update Unity too. It costs time and effort that we need to spend on the project instead. We don't take Unity updates that lightly when it affects a group of people.

 

I can certainly understand that. I wasn't sure if there was a technical reason or something like that.

 

You've written this question in other threads about updating. I just want to confirm that on a large team it's a huge amount of effort coordinating with lots of different people and even after weeks of prep and emails we still gets lots of tickets (mostly artists) blocked because they didn't update or can't figure out how to. On top of remote build machines, managing different branches with different versions, updating documentation, onboard installers etc. There's just a lot of little things that cost and grow as the team gets bigger.

 

I will be releasing an update this week to specifically address this issue.

 

This issue still exists in 2020.2.0f1 LTS.

 

Make sure that you update to version 3.0.6 of the TMP package via the Package Manager.

 

I'm still getting this issue with 3.0.6 (unity 2020.2.0f1)

 

Looks like PS5 support was added in a subsequent release of 2020.2.

Any reason you are not using the LTS 2020.3?

 

To revive this, I'm currently on 2020.2.0f1 and I'm getting this. I also can't change the Unity version as it's not my project to change.

Please address this as it's a major blocker - I need fixes in the update, but can't update because of this.

 

Update for any googlers: this seems fixed in 2020.2.1f1.

 

I just updated to TextMeshPro 3.0.7 and I got this error now..

 

Also seeing this in 3.0.7, running Unity 2023.1.20f1:

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.7\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_InputField.cs(424,42): error CS0117: 'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'VisionOS'

 

I wiped the package then restarted unity and reinstalled it, now it works ‍♂️

 

i'm using unity 2023.1.11 and upgraded textmeshpro to 3.0.7
and this error occured

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.7\Scripts\Runtime\TMP_InputField.cs(487,38): error CS0117: 'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'VisionOS'

 

i've created a new project in unity 2023.1.11 and the TMP version is 3.0.6 with no errors.
but the errors show up after i've updated TMP to 3.0.7

 

recently I Updated the TMPro and I got this error:
error CS0117: 'RuntimePlatform' does not contain a definition for 'VisionOS'

any idea???

 

Downgrad to 3.0.6
I needed to adjust the manifest.json manually.
