Failed to insert item messages in build log

fuy · September 2, 2019, 5:57am

the bug is fixed in unity2019.1.7f1, 2019.2.1
i think you forget merge the patch to unity 2017

karl_jones · September 2, 2019, 9:14am

The is is in 2017.4.19f1

fuy · September 3, 2019, 1:35am

I just tested it In Unity 2017.4.19, the bug is not fixed!
with below code, you will reproduct it:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.IO;

public class ReproduceBug
{

    [MenuItem("BUG/ProductBug")]
    static void Test()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 1200; i++)
        {
            string str = "using UnityEngine; public class XXX" + i.ToString() + ": MonoBehaviour{}";

            File.WriteAllText(Application.dataPath + "/XXX" + i.ToString() + ".cs", str);
        }

        AssetDatabase.Refresh();
    }
}

Could you please file a bug report

hi, i have filed a bug report:
(Case 1181898) Assertion failed: Failed to insert item. Name: XXX973, Command: SCRIPT3218

c0nd3v · May 17, 2021, 8:59pm

This is actually fixed in 2017.4.34f1, you can find it here: Unity 2017.4.34

“Scripting: Fixed Produce a warning and prevent warnings spamming when trying to insert menu item when the insertion limit is reached. (1181898, 1187861)”

c0nd3v · May 23, 2021, 2:08pm

Actually, oddly enough, I’m getting this same issue in 2020.3 when using Addressables package.

MiFrilke · June 15, 2021, 7:11pm

We’re still seeing this issue aswell in Unity 2020.3.11. The code posted above to reproduce the bug also still works for this.

I’ve sent in a new bugreport: (Case 1343433) “Failed to insert item” warnings logged with many components in project

Edit:
The issue has been added to the public issuetracker: Unity Issue Tracker - Multiple "Failed to insert item" warnings are logged when amount of inserted items exceeds 1000

Pivac · November 5, 2021, 1:49pm

Hello,
So me and my friend are trying to make a game together (share and edit the same project at the same time).
Everything that we did went smoothly but when my friend publishes a project in our organisation and I download and open it, it only transfers scripts, no elements or items. An error message appears which says: “Failed to insert item. Invalid menu handle.”
Please, if someone knows how to fix this problem let me know and contact me on my e-mail pivachd@gmail.com
Thank you and good bye!

Seeing more of this on a freshly installed Unity Hub + Unity 2021.3.8f1 LTS after it first popping up. Temporary Unity download folder deleted and all Unity-related folders removed from /AppData prior to the reinstall.

I’m getting all the fun stuff, from ‘failed to add separator’ to ‘Failed to insert item. Invalid menu handle.’

I also have that cool bug where where almost every running application window pops up; from GHub and iCue to Discord and Settings, as well as applications that don’t really have UIs and so only some title bars appear. I have to relog the OS user account to clear it all out or I would be tediously closing stuff from the Task Manager for like 15 minutes.

Generally when this happens, the Editor becomes completely useless and stops reacting to any input events; No drop down menus, tabbed windows don’t switch when clicked on, etc., so I just alt-F4 is as even the Close/X button doesn’t respond. I tried this is the current 2022.2.0b6 Beta as well, and was running into the same issues… which was very odd.

Keep in mind, all of this happened with a new blank 3D project.

I will post if I find some sort of solution unless it just starts working again for whatever reason.

That’s strange. Have you filled any bug reports? Do you have a log file from when this happened?

weizgit · September 1, 2022, 10:32pm

I have yet to do as I want to make sure I’m not doing anything stupid on my end for some reason But I’m getting closer to doing so.

I seem to be seeing something reported in [another thread ]( https://discussions.unity.com/t/505901 page-2#post-8408379)as well, my post with an excerpt of the Editor.log shown. I kept seeing this after Revo uninstalling then reinstalling Unity as well; Registry and AppData wiped prior to install.

I have not specifically set any additional logging outside of default, but if a default log has it, I should be able to get one from one of these two issues pretty easily. Sorry, never submitted one on here before manually, just once on a crash, which isn’t happening with these 2 issues I’m having.

Let me know about the logs, or link me on what to do if anything, and I’ll get you anything needed

Going to give Alpha a shot in the meantime. If I still have issues I have to assume it’s something local going on; Then on to figure that out.

FoxGames772 · September 1, 2022, 11:51pm

trying to make a VR game and finding the same error. i am using the unity version 2022.1.15ft.
closing and reopening works but it comes back up again. does anybody know how to fix?

weizgit · September 2, 2022, 8:13pm

I’m just curious; Are you trying this with an existing project only?
Have you tried with something like a new blank 3D project?

I’m working on VR/XR myself, but before any of that is involved, before any package imported, these issues pop up from simply going around menus and preferences, change tabs, etc. I’m getting this issue from completely new projects before anything is even ‘done’ to the project.
I’m wondering if that’s the same case for you, or if it seems project specific.

weizgit · September 2, 2022, 10:25pm

I installed 2023.1.0a6.754, created a new 3D project in my user folder, opened the package manager, selected Engineering, Clicked the ‘Remove’ button, and received the error:

Error displaying dialog: The current process has used all of its system allowance of handles for Window Manager objects.

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

After this point, the menus showed a highlight on mouse over, but there was no dropdown menu when clicked (File, Edit, etc.).

I then clicked the Package Manager Tab and dragged it down and to the left, which then gave me this in the console:

Any ideas, anyone?

same error in version 2021.3.6f1 LTS

RyanTheTechMan · September 7, 2022, 12:38am

The error occurs on any version I use even if it’s a new project. I can click around a little big and it either won’t let me click anything and shows errors, or the UI just breaks and I close unity, where it should show Save or Don’t save buttons, only to show nothing and unity completely freezes.

Looks like exactly what I’m seeing, and happening on any version as well, at least back to 2019s.

After some of the errors mentioning using up all available objects, I turned on the User Objects column from Details in Task Manager…

Here the new, blank 3D project is prior to clicking or interacting with the editor at all:

After some clicking around in the package manager, but not installing or removing anything, when the ‘failed to insert’ stuff starts, this is what it looks like:

Yea… that’s no good. And again, this is a new, unmodified 3D project on 2021.3.9f1, but I get the same basic things on ALL versions that are currently on the hub from 2019+.
