Input System and 2019.2 beta

Importing Input System into a fresh 2019.2.0b1 project will throw a bunch of errors - namespace errors such as cannot find EventSystem or UI.

That’s an issue with 2019.b1+. They’re moving UnityEngine.UI out into a package and it messed up a bunch of things. They’ll introduce a change that fixes the naming linkage for the package in b3 or b4.

This change doesn’t affect the last few 2019.2 alphas, and it’s not specific to the Input System, it happens to other things like SteamVR.

Ah thanks. None of my other packages gave errors upon upgrading so I assumed it was in Input System’s court. But good to know they will fix the reference issue in later betas!

If you really, really want to work with the new Input System in the 2019.2 beta before the next update, you can use the latest develop source code, as explained here: Is there a way to do a custom build/package from source?
