UnityEngine.CloudBuild compile error

"UnityEngine.CloudBuild." throws an error when being used in my project. The following code will not compile.

I end up surrounding the function in "#if UNITY_CLOUD_BUILD" which allows it to compile and does work inside CloudBuild.

It makes it very difficult to know what code will work though.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEditor;
3.  
4. public class CloudBuildPreExport : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public static void PreExport(UnityEngine.CloudBuild.BuildManifestObject manifest)
7.     {
8.         PlayerSettings.bundleVersion = string.Format("{0}.{1}", PlayerSettings.bundleVersion, manifest.GetValue("buildNumber", "unknown") );
9. }
10. }

 

Ok, I had seen that suggestion on the BuildManifestObject page but didn't make the connection with this particular problem. I'll look into that.

Absolutely, the interface and configurations are powerful. I've moved my personal project, and team projects, to CloudBuild because of time saved, fewer errors, and the ability to create very specific target builds. It's a serious improvement.

 

Why is it not simple to have the UnityEngine.CloudBuild namespace be populated locally? It's over a year later! The cloud build is great and these export methods are great, but it's tough to write bug-free code like this.

 

Hi everybody,

Is there currently any problem with the preExportMethod?. I am using the same config I used a year ago in a different project, and I always get the error: "preExportMethod 'App.Build.CloudBuild.PreBuild' failed, aborting".
As far as I know, the preExportMethod has an optional BuildManifestObject parameter. Therefore, the next code should work.

Code (CSharp):

1. namespace App.Build
2. {
3.     public sealed class CloudBuild
4.     {
5.         public static void PreBuild ( )
6.         {
7.             #if UNITY_IOS
8.             FileUtil.DeleteFileOrDirectory("Assets/GooglePlayGames");
9.             FileUtil.DeleteFileOrDirectory("Assets/GooglePlayGames");
10.             FileUtil.DeleteFileOrDirectory("Assets/PlayServicesResolver");
11.             FileUtil.DeleteFileOrDirectory("Assets/Plugins");
12.             AssetDatabase.Refresh();
13.             #endif
14.         }
15.     }
16. }

My config of preExportMethod in the project is App.Build.CloudBuild.PreBuild

I tried, @Mycroft suggestion using the BuildManifestObject parameter and #if UNITY_CLOUD_BUILD, but nothing got better.

Anyone has any clue about what is the problem? Thanks in advance

 

@dannyd Sorry to necro an old thread, but has there been any progress here? I would really love to see a Unity Package or NuGet package that could be referenced so that we can code against the Unity.CloudBuild APIs without needing ugly precompiler directives. Thanks.

 

It's been 4 years now and this still not fix?

At least please put #define CLOUD_BUILD on that class and let us access it inside #if

 

Someone here has created a stub for the cloud build manifest object (https://gist.github.com/wcoastsands/c226e197d14c278daed1b90e6a3d355e) - perhaps it could be expanded to stub other functions that you need?

 

Thank you! Unity should include this in the engine.

 

Docs don't mention this define at all. And won't compile as written.

@rajivrao Any update on this issue?
