Addressables build issue

Unity Engine

Hi there,

I’m currently developing a multiplayer game and I’m using addressables in my project. Today I’ve run into an issue which I can’t seem to shake, which is the following:

Cannot read BuildLayout header, BuildLayout has not open for a file
UnityEditor.AddressableAssets.Settings.AddressableAssetSettings:BuildPlayerContent (UnityEditor.AddressableAssets.Build.AddressablesPlayerBuildResult&)
AddressablesPlayerBuildProcessor:PrepareForPlayerbuild (UnityEditor.AddressableAssets.Settings.AddressableAssetSettings,UnityEditor.Build.BuildPlayerContext,bool) (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.addressables@1.21.12/Editor/Build/AddressablesPlayerBuildProcessor.cs:101)
AddressablesPlayerBuildProcessor:PrepareForBuild (UnityEditor.Build.BuildPlayerContext) (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.addressables@1.21.12/Editor/Build/AddressablesPlayerBuildProcessor.cs:80)
UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallGlobalEventHandler ()

This stops me from being able to build my project. What I’ve tried:

  • Clearing the cache
  • Deleting the addressablesAssetData folder
  • Doing a new addressables build

None of these steps have worked. As this is a multiplayer game, the only way I can really test it is by creating builds so this has stopped me in my tracks a fair bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m using Unity v2022.3.0 and using addressables v1.21.12.

This may have been some weird data in a previous build that was still interfering with current builds. I tried a clean build from the build menu in Unity and it is seemingly back to normal.

I have the same issue. Can you explain what you mean by a clean build from the unity menu.

I have a clean build and still have this error. Any other suggestions?

I’m following the solution from this article and it work for me: https://marumaro7.hatenablog.com/entry/CannotreadBuildLayoutheader
Which is delete file “AddressablesConfig.dat” from Library folder, then restart Editor.

I just fixed this by closing the ‘Addressables report’ window, looks like it being open is causing this to happen.

Thank you, this fixed the issue quickly. I’ve been fixing it in a more tedious way which i found out by luck, it goes by running analyze selected rule, change the script a little for it to recompile, then build it. with no other action in between. The non-sensical sequence was quite worrying.

No freaking way… this worked for me. Now, how to get rid of this window permanently? It keeps reappearing.
Edit: It’s in Preferences > Addressables

Yup. Disabling the build report window is here in the Preferences window:

Would y’all mind letting me know what versions of Addressables and Unity you’re using? I can’t seem to reproduce the issue.

Thank you so MUCH! I just docked mine so I didn’t have to keep closing it to get it out of the way!! I never would have thought of that :open_mouth:
