    Hello,
    I recently created my own Unity package that I will be posting on the Unity Asset Store. I was required to add a namespace to the code before sending it off to be uploaded.
    When I locally import the class to another project I want to be able to access the Singleton from anywhere else in my project.

    But I am unable to access it. What do I need to do in order to access that script?

    I attached screenshots of:
    - JSON package
    - The main logger script that is to be used in my other project I uploaded the package to
    - my assembly definition for the package
    - and the code of how I am supposed to access the logger tool

    Please let me know what other information you might need or if this needs to go to a different forum.

    Hi there,

    I'm not sure which part of the forum would be best suited for that question.
    Maybe in package management or assets and asset store... but maybe I can also help directly here.

    Looking at your screenshots, everything seems to be fine on the setup side.
    The asmdef has Auto Reference selected, your class is in a namespace, and you're trying to use it with the class name.
    Could it be that the file where you're trying to use the code is missing a 
    using LogMachineController;
    at the top to make it find the LogMachine class in the new namespace?

    Hello! Thank you for the reply!
    I did have that but it didn't work (eventually it did)
    I needed an assemble def in my main code and needed to reference the packages assembly def. And now it works!

    Glad to hear that you solved it.

    Can I ask you to report a bug with your project whenever you have some time and post the bug ticket number here? Talking with the scripting team I think it should work without requiring an asmdef in your main code, so there may be something strange going on.
