Here are the interesting parts of the error log

I have a similar problem with webgl builds on a PC with python3.6 installed.

il2cpp.exe didn’t catch exception: Unity.IL2CPP.Building.BuilderFailedException: File “C:\Users\gareth\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site.py”, line 177

I’ve got the same issue.

My context:

  • I’m building the application from Jenkins.
  • Jenkins runs a python script (thanks to shiningpanda plugin), specifying 3.6 (local installed) version
  • My python script calls Unity, with the command line “Unity.exe -batchmode …”
  • Unity builds the app with the module UnityWebGL. UnityWebGL also builds at some point with Python (in my case 2.7). You can find the location here : “{Unity_install_path}\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\WebGLSupport\BuildTools\Emscripten_Win\python.…”
  • This part does its stuff, but instead of staying with 2.7 libs, mixes up with some 3.6 libs

I figured out Jenkins was setting up an Python 3.6 “context”, and UnityWebGL command is a bit lost between the two versions.
You are probably is the same situation where something creates this python “context”.

To fix it, I stopped using the Jenkins’ Python plugin and run my python script directly from a batch commandline.
In my case, removing “Environment variables” had not effect. Probably it can be a lead for yours :slight_smile:
