UCB only error: Shader unsupported: pass Pass has no vertex shader.

Hi,

My project builds just fine but I'm getting this warning in UCB build log. When I downloaded the build and launched it my object with a material that uses this shader is all black. The problem is that my shader pass does indeed have a vertex shader and no shader warnings in the build log when I build the project on my computer - everything displays correctly there.

Is there some UCB limitation regarding custom shaders?

I'm building on Windows. Is bug related to this statement from another post?

 

Hello,

This sounds like an issue that we're aware of, but just to check - could you PM me a link to your project?

Hi Sophia,

I wrote you a PM

 

Thanks, Adam.

This does seem to be an issue that we're aware of. Could you please provide the following information:

Unity version:

XCode version (if relevant):

Source control:

Local build platform:

Build target:

Relevant plugins being used:

Does it build locally from a fresh checkout?:​

It really helps us out if you provide as much info as you can

Thanks again!
- Sophia

 

Hi Sophia,

Unity version: 5.5.0f3
Source control: Unity Collaborate,
Local build platform: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit,
Build target: Windows standalone 64 bit,
Relevant plugins: nothing that I can think of.
Yes it builds locally from a fresh checkout.

Do you know when this bug could possibly be fixed?

 

Also having issues with UCB and shaders, however mine completely fails to build.

Unity version: 5.5.0f3

Source control: Bit Bucket

Local build platform: Mac OS 10.12.1

Build target: Android

Relevant plugins being used:
-dmk fixed function shader collection
-Rain Maker
-SimpleParticlePack
-SplineTrailRenderer
-Playmaker

Does it build locally from a fresh checkout?: Yes

Full build fail log attached

 

@Adam-Sowinski While we're aware of this issue, we're still looking for more information to help us resolve it. For example, can you provide any screenshots of what your build looks like after building with these warnings appearing?

Once I have a more definite answer on a time frame for a fix, I will let you know

 

I got the same problem.
I'm using some custom shaders and everything works when I build locally. But when I build via Cloud only Android works. iOS gives me the following warnings:

285: [Unity] WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'Unlit/Texture_color' - Pass '' has no vertex shader

The result is invisible meshes. The colliders and scripts seem to work, I just don't see the objects.

Actually, I can't share a screenshot here but I'm using The Lab Rendered shaders, it's very easy to create an empty project, import the Lab Renderer set the shader to vr_standard and build it locally vs in the UCB. Basically all materials that are rendered using vr_standard shader are black.

 

any news on this?

 

My previous shader error went away and i was able to make a cloud build. However I just tried the other day and now i get a fail for another shader. Which i have attached to this post. The shader should be supported for mobile and builds fine locally.

 

the issue for shader occured sometimes again for
VR/SpatialMapping/Wireframe
UCB 5.5.0p4

 

I am getting the same warning in my UCB log. I'll PM a link to the build.

 

Any updates on this?

I've attached an example which causes the error. Happening when trying to use a Geometry shader.
The result should be a green plane:



But after build I get:

 

Any advice on fixing this? I am experiencing this error on Unity 5.6.0, OS X El Capitan in standalone build only (in Editor it works fine). I have a wireframe shader that uses geometry shader and get pink material (shader missing) and an error:

WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'Wilberforce/Wireframe' - Pass '' has no vertex shader.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

 

Or an ETA would be nice. Considering whether to develop an alternative that doesn't use Geometry shaders if this isn't fixed within the next 2 months.

 

@CDF @wilberforce I can't find Cloud Build projects for either of you. Could you PM me a link to the affected project?

Has this ever been resolved, or is there any information what was/is causing this? I'm writing a sizeable replacement shader in Unity 5.4 (no, I can't update to 5.5+ because of middleware problems, and because this is an update for a console game where we are locked into a Unity + SDK combination), and I get

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'XXX' - Pass 'FORWARD' has no vertex shader
3. WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'XXX' - All passes removed
4.  

for lots of subshaders. Each pass HAS a vertex shader, no compile errors are reported (I tried by intentionally adding syntax errors that were reported correctly), this is a simple fragment/vertex shader without using any advanced features.
When I look at compile/show code I get this for affected subshaders:

Code (CSharp):

1. SubShader {
2. Tags { "QUEUE"="Transparent" "FORCENOSHADOWCASTING"="true" "IGNOREPROJECTOR"="true" "XXX"="YYY" }
3. Pass {
4.   Name "FORWARD"
5.   Tags { "LIGHTMODE"="ForwardBase" "QUEUE"="Transparent" "FORCENOSHADOWCASTING"="true" "IGNOREPROJECTOR"="true" "XXX"="YYY" }
6.   ZWrite Off
7.   Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
8.   GpuProgramID 25868756
9. Program "vp" {
10. }
11. Program "fp" {
12. }
13. }
14. }

Models using those subshaders are not rendered. Interestingly changes in a completely different subshader can change which set of shaders fail to compile...

Is there a workaround, or do I have to just try random changes until it works?

 

@SophiaC This problem still persists with PC Build, Unity 2019.1.12f1 , HDRP 5.7.2 and the newest pack from Nature Manufacture - Forest Environment. Is there any workaround?

 

this still an issue in 2019

 

This issue continues to affect our team.

Here's some detail from a support request (case# 1191965):

When a cloud build is completed, a nice results email is sent, including the number of build warnings. My team would love to take advantage of this feature.

Unfortunately, a blank/empty project (for example: a new 3D project template), throws build warnings. Locally, there are no build warnings, but in the cloud, there are 49 warnings.

Because of this, my team can't really "trust" the non-zero build warnings alert since there are quite a few warnings to begin with.

In the past, I've attempted to find a workaround, but the consensus seemed to be that there is no general purpose workaround that would support every situation. Is it possible that there is a workaround specific to our specific situation? For example, our only required build target is Windows 64-bit (no OSX, Android, Hololens, etc, etc.)

Same problem here, MacOS Mojave

 

I'm seeing the same thing 2019.2.12, with limited variations. Tried reimporting files.
