Addressables Build Never Completes - No Errors or Warnings, Just Nothing

Asset & Content Management Addressables
,
1

I have updated my project from 2019.4.29 to 2021.3.31 a few days ago. I’m using Addressables 1.21.17.

I cleaned my build cache and performed a new default build. Everything seems to go well until it gets stuck on the screen in the attached image. Normally it takes me between 10-25 minutes to build when there’s no cache. But since updating to 2021.3.31 the build never completes. I let it run twice over night only to find the same screen in the morning. The console log is completely empty (notices, warnings, errors) so I never have anything to go on.

Does anyone have any ideas where to look?

Thanks!

I still haven’t gotten this working I’ve tried reinstalling Addressables and other packages that use it, but this is still happening after 5 days of trying to figure it out.

Terribly frustrating to diagnose this without errors!

You can use Visual Studio to attach debugger to Unity to see what’s running. It might provide more information to investigate the issue further.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ran through it a couple times with the VS debugger attached but it didn’t reveal anything at all in the logs. Would Visual Studio debugger normally show something in the Output debug log during an Addressables build?

On the chance someone at Unity looks at this, I was able to capture some code dump info.

You can use Visual Studio Tool for Unity and use it to see the managed stack trace. Here is the documentation: Using Visual Studio Tools for Unity | Microsoft Learn.

When the Editor is building Addressables, use ‘Attach to Unity’ and ‘break’ to see what’s running in main thread.

7

I wasn’t able to break anywhere. It definitely attaches - it’s just not revealing details relevant to why it’s no progressing. When I look at the output, all I see is a bunch of these at the end.

The thread 0x27c20390 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread 0x695c5f0 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread 0x9be1fe40 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread 0x27c20130 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread 0x695c390 has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I decided to clear out all my Addressable objects except the defaults and that builds no problem. So I added a single object (a prefab) and the issue starts again. I did manage to get this from the Editor log file.

But this seems like it’s all Unity’s SBP internal stuff.

Not sure what happend. Some questions:

  • Can you reproduce the issue in an empty project with that prefab?
  • Between the successful build and the failed build(with the prefab added), did you enter play mode?
  • Does other prefabs also cause the issue?

Thanks for all the follow-ups!

So I think I know what’s wrong, kind of. I’m a dolt. This is for a Playstation build and I hadn’t installed their SDK. It didn’t seem explicitly necessary in the documentation. I installed it to see what tools were available and lo and behold my Addressable build started working after that. Since Sony provides their own version of the Unity Editor, I suppose it interfaces with the SDK.

I’m sure I could have reproduced it with an empty project and any prefab or asset, but unfortunately I don’t have a way to test that any more.

Right now I’m reverting to a backup (taking hours) so I can attempt the full build - not just the single prefab test. I’ll follow-up when I know!

Thanks again for the help Alan. :slight_smile:

Yup, that was the problem indeed. I’m able to build my Addressables now. Thanks for the replies @Alan-Liu
