Unity 2017.2 broke Jenkins builds

Hi,

I´ve reported the bug 961722 because Unity 2017.2 broke the Jenkins builds.

Unity 5.6: works fine
Unity 2017.1: works fine
Unity 2017.2: error
Unity 2017.3: error

This is the error message:

Scripts have compiler errors.
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/Utilities/Argv.cpp Line: 224)

It´s not really useful, but I´m sure that devs will find useful the bug repro project.

Let me know if this post should be moved to another section, please.

 

You could have at least tried to find something in the editor log.

Since we are having the same issue and I just wanted to post one here the problematic lines:

Code (CSharp):

1. -----CompilerOutput:-stdout--exitcode: 1--compilationhadfailure: True--outfile: Temp/Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll
2. Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings
3. -----CompilerOutput:-stderr----------

Edit:
So I just fixed it by changing the user jenkins uses.

I still would prefer if I could define the cache folder.

 

That fix works!

 

Thanks for this. Saved me a lot of time.

 

Hi, can you elaborate what's needed to be done in here? I can't seem to find that Jenkins Properties window.

 

You need to go to the Services app in Windows and find the entry for Jenkins.

 

Hi, Yes found it. it's in the services.msc of Windows. Thanks
