NetcodeForGameObjects compilation error

When I fire up a new project in Unity 2021.2.8f1 and just import the Netcode for GameObjects package by name as mentioned on the Unity websites I constantly get the following two warnings in the console:

Script ‘Packages/com.unity.collections/DocCodeSamples.Tests/CollectionsAllocationExamples.cs’ will not be compiled because it exists outside the Assets folder and does not to belong to any assembly definition file.
UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorCompilationInterface:CompileScripts (UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorScriptCompilationOptions,UnityEditor.BuildTargetGroup,UnityEditor.BuildTarget,int,string)

Script ‘Packages/com.unity.collections/DocCodeSamples.Tests/CollectionsExamples.cs’ will not be compiled because it exists outside the Assets folder and does not to belong to any assembly definition file.
UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorCompilationInterface:CompileScripts (UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorScriptCompilationOptions,UnityEditor.BuildTargetGroup,UnityEditor.BuildTarget,int,string)

What exactly does these warnings mean? And how can I fix them to get rid of the messages?

I am looking forward to your help. Thank you!

I was just wondering about this myself - wasn’t showing in 2020.3, just showed up after upgrading project to 2021.2

Reading from the error message it looks like they forgot to upload an assembly definition or put those unit tests in a Editor folder. You can fix this, given there won’t be dozens more such errors ofc.

com.unity.collections@... package should be in \PROJECT_NAME\Library\PackageCache

Move this specific package dir to \PROJECT_NAME\Packages\HERE so you can modify it’s content. Now, just delete this /com.unity.collections.../DocCodeSamples.Tests directory, tests are optional.
(or create assembly definition if you want to run those unit test).
