Cluster Display: Fail to start MissionControl

Unity Engine
,
1

Hello all,

I unfortunately struggle to get Unity Cluster Display, specifically MissionControl, to run.

The only noticeable error so far is LaunchPad giving me the following error:

Apart from that, I get a 404 if I try to open the web interface via localhost:9000.

Can anyone help here?

Hello! How are you running the MissionControl.EngineeringUI.Server executable? There are two ways to do this:

  1. By setting it as the startup project and running it from Visual Studio.
  2. Publishing the Server project and running the EXE from the output folder. This is done by selecting “Publish” in the Build menu or running dotnet publish -c Release --self-contained (with the proper arguments) from the command line. Note that this is not the same thing as “building” the project.

You didn’t give any details on how you’re running Mission Control, but I suspect what you did was:

  1. Built the solution normally.
  2. Went the Debug/Release folder and ran the EXE from there.

This will indeed give a 404 error because the directory structure will not be correct for running the web app locally.

Hope this solves your problem.

Yep, that was it! Thanks for the quick help!

Thank you!

I have exactly the same error. Could you please describe this in more detail, with solution 1 (By setting it as the startup project and running it from Visual Studio) I get it to run, but of course I would like to publish the 4 projects so that I can then run them conveniently on other computers in the network.

As described in solution 2, I used the EXE from the bin folder after “dotnet publish -c Release --self-contained -r win-x64”. But then I get the at the top mentioned error message again and in the browser the 404 message?! Could you help me “publishing” the projects?

When going with solution 1 (for each running in VS code: MissonControlUI, HangarBay, Launchpad, MissionControl) I am able to setup everything, but when I hit “Launch” (selected asset) it seems to start (state “idle” switches to “preparing”) but that’s all that happens. The state (under monitoring) keeps saying “preparing since…” and it never reaches the next step (running?) ?! I think I should see an application running in fullscreen then?! I tested it with the sample “SpinningCube”.

Is there any documentation on how to actually use MissionControl and all the setting parameters?
