Node.js v20.0.0

light vigil May 22, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

Ah ok it could be because of node 20

#

we havent tested with node 20, we only support node LTS (16 and 18)

outer pebble May 22, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

OK, but with exporter 3.3.0 I have no problem

#

..

#

my old needle project, and all works

light vigil May 22, 2023, 5:49 PM

#

Which vite version was your old project using?

#

And which editor?
If you dont have a specific reason for using Node 20 id still say try to downgrade to 18 LTS

Hi @outer pebble do you have any news?

outer pebble May 29, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

can this be caused that I am saaving and creating unity project on mapped drive?
I have R: drive and its dropbox shared folder
but one of my last projects was at this drive, and it worked.
I was testing exactly same workflow, once saved at C: and secondly saved on R: and project saved on my C: is working without problems

Yes, that would be the root cause.
You can also read more here: https://discord.com/channels/717429793926283276/1095657169342451723
I wonder why you didn't get a warning though since we do check for the availability of symlinks on the project drive.

Build fails on Dropbox network drive

#

I think this is different issue where a drive is mapped - not a drive without symlink support

modern wigeon May 31, 2023, 11:53 AM

#

Dropbox / Google Drive are kind of "virtual network drives", I thought they didn't have symlink support either but maybe they do. We should probably exclude both, it's not a good idea to have projects with many files on them - and as far as I'm aware there's no .gitignore or similar for them either

I am baffled by the environments people try to use for dev like this 😂 if there are any tutorial makers out there encouraging this I will go tell them off personally

modern wigeon May 31, 2023, 6:48 PM

#

Well, I know firsthand how hard it is to get people to unlearn "put the project where my files sync between machines" and learn "the mystical source control that is git"...

light vigil May 31, 2023, 6:54 PM

Some never learn that 🥲
