Unity 2017.1f3 - UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed. ( G:)

Hi!

Having an issue with the last Unity release.
The project has been running well for a half year, never had any problem on this before.
Error seems to be directly on the StartCoroutine, which is pretty weird.... ...

Below code sample + error

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.         public void LoadMask()
3.         {
4.             if (File.Exists (textureFileMask))
5.             {
6.                 Debug.Log ("textureFileMask = " + textureFileMask);
7.                 StartCoroutine ("RunLoadMask", textureFileMask);
8.             }
9.         }
10.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. textureFileMask = G:/unity-Snap-Editor/_Build/_res/photo/Fragmentation_S4_back-MASK.png
3.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed. ( G:)
3. System.Uri.Parse (UriKind kind, System.String uriString)
4. System.Uri.ParseUri (UriKind kind)
5. System.Uri..ctor (System.String uriString, Boolean dontEscape)
6. System.Uri..ctor (System.String uriString)
7. UnityEngineInternal.WebRequestUtils.MakeInitialUrl (System.String targetUrl, System.String localUrl) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/WebRequest/Managed/WebRequestUtils.cs:481)
8. UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:StartCoroutine(String, Object)
9.  

 

I am sorry but any update on this?
No solution also on our side too.

 

Are you using www??if you want access to hard disk(not internet)write by example:
String mypath = "file:///c:/mydocument.txt".you must use the file:/// protocol to access to disk.File.exist not require file:/// protocol

 

Read the doc.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WWW.html

 

I am having the same problem with http calls to playfab.com.

UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed. (.playfabapi.com)

 

Yeah as I said the project (actually big one) is working well, only the version 2017.1 report this error.
I use the www thing this way as always when it comes of local datas :

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. IEnumerator LoadLocalData(string path)
3.         {
4.      Debug.Log (path);
5.             WWW www = new WWW("file:// " + path);
6.             yield return www;
7.  

Actually reading your code, I only use "//" and not "///". gonna have it a try .

 

Your code is ok.it was a writting error.

File:// is ok.

In your code:

1. textureFileMask = G:/unity-Snap-Editor/_Build/_res/photo/Fragmentation_S4_back-MASK.png

Where are the ""?
textureFileMask = "G:/unity-Snap-Editor/_Build/_res/photo/Fragmentation_S4_back-MASK.png";

 

Its from a Debug.Log().
Using the StartCoroutine for the past 6-7 years dude, never had a problem as the one mentionned.


Still no feedback and fix yet... can't upgrade Unity =_=#

 

Take the url and paste in explorer with file://.Can you see something?

 

Alright!!

From an empty project : 1 small script, a texture, a scene.

Write the path of the texture in the FilePath slot, then press play.

Below the ZIP file with the project.
a screenshot from 2017 and the error.
a screenshot from 5.6.1f1 from the same project and texture loaded without problem

Cheers

 

Samma I can see a space after file://.Try removing this space.

 

I am going to test your proyect.I say you something in a few minuts.Wait please

 

I have not error in unity 5.6.2f1

 

What version of unity do you have?Try to update to 5.6.2f1.Are you sure that you have folder permissions to access in this folder???

 

as I said , no error on Unity 5.6.x

You should download the last release called Unity 20171.0.

bump

 

there were actually really an empty space... =_=....
Unbelievable ahahah!
Sorry for the wrong alert

 

www remark: in Windows StandAlone and Windows Store Applications you should use file:/// (3 slashes) whereas on other platforms file:// (2 slashes) must be used. Seems Unity 2017.1 is stricter.
