Error Messages on Compile

[ellensatter]

I am teaching a Gaming Animation high school class but have no unity experience (I was a coder, mostly COBOL, for 30 years before becoming a teacher). One of my students is getting errors at compile time that have exceeded my abilities to debug. We’re using the 2020 version of unity on windows 10.

These are the errors:

I googled the errors, but she is not using the “override” keyword in any of her methods (she’s never even heard of it.) Her code was working up until Friday.

I’m attaching her code. I hope someone can help.

Thank you.

Extra unwanted packages in new projects (collab, testing, rider and other junk):

Temp/UnityEngine.TestRunner.dll Error

Recent versions of unity have an annoying habit of crapping useless packages into your project. When those packages inevitably have errors, this sort of thing happens. I have railed about it before. Go into the package manager and remove crap you don’t need, like the entire test runner and collab and whatnot. If you feel brave you can hand-edit the Packages/manifest.json file a lot faster than using the laggy package manager interface that only lets you remove one package at a time: [7287748-…

About the fastest way I have found to make a project and avoid all this noise is to create the project, then as soon as you see the files appear, FORCE-STOP (hard-kill) Unity (with the Activity Manager or Task Manager), then go hand-edit the Packages/manifest.json file as outlined in the above post, then reopen Unity.

Sometimes the package system gets borked from all this unnecessary churn and requires the package cache to be cleared:
