2019.3 APIUpdater failes if username contains whitespace

Unity Engine

I’m trying to upgrade my project from 2019.2 to 2019.3. However, the APIUpdater drops the following error message four times:
Unhandled Exception:
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path “$pathToUnityProject$LastPartOfUsernameAfterWhitespaceCharacter\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3f9769a6.tmp”.

Let’s say your OS username is “Max Mustermann”, making the directory to your %LocalAppData% variable look like this:
C:\Users\Max Mustermann\AppData\Local

In my case, the APIUpdater is expecting my LocalAppData temp directory to be in
D:\Projects\NameOfMyUnityProject\Mustermann\AppData\Local\Temp

This, of course, is doomed to fail. I think this should definitely fixed before releasing the 2018.3!

Can reproduce!

Yeah, I could workaround this issue by creating a new user account on my OS with the username “asdf”. Upgrading the same project from that account worked. Lol

Hi @ReaktorDave

Can you share your Editor.log when this happens?

I’ll try to reproduce locally also

Thanks @ReaktorDave

I’ve identified the issue and will fix in 2019.3 / 2020.1 and potentially in 2018.4 also.

Btw, I’ve filled a bug which you can use to track progress here Unity Issue Tracker - ScriptUpdater does not work for users with spaces/invalid characters in their User Names

This is great, can’t wait for the fix as this issue has held up a project I updated recently some scripts are misbehaving, must be a regression as my user directory never changed

Which 2020.1 version is this fix arriving in? It still exists in 2020.1.0a16

Off by one error :).

It landed in 2020.1.0a17

Thanks for fixing. Will it also be included in the next 2019 releases?

The fix is going to be in one of the next 2019.3 builds.
