Hello,

I’m encountering the following error when opening a new project in Unity, and I get the same error every time I open a new project:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader.ParseArguments.GetOrganizationNameFromData (System.String data) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collab-proxy@2.0.3/Editor/PlasticSCM/CloudProjectDownloader/ParseArguments.cs:42) Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader.ParseArguments.CloudOrganization (System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[TKey,TValue] args) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collab-proxy@2.0.3/Editor/PlasticSCM/CloudProjectDownloader/ParseArguments.cs:24) Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader.CloudProjectDownloader.DownloadRepository (System.String unityAccessToken, System.String commandLineArgs) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collab-proxy@2.0.3/Editor/PlasticSCM/CloudProjectDownloader/CloudProjectDownloader.cs:63) Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader.CloudProjectDownloader.DownloadRepository (System.String unityAccessToken) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collab-proxy@2.0.3/Editor/PlasticSCM/CloudProjectDownloader/CloudProjectDownloader.cs:51) Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader.CloudProjectDownloader.Execute (System.String unityAccessToken) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collab-proxy@2.0.3/Editor/PlasticSCM/CloudProjectDownloader/CloudProjectDownloader.cs:43) Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader.CloudProjectDownloader.RunOnceWhenAccessTokenIsInitialized () (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.collab-proxy@2.0.3/Editor/PlasticSCM/CloudProjectDownloader/CloudProjectDownloader.cs:32) UnityEditor.EditorApplication.Internal_CallUpdateFunctions () (at <9959c9185b684a4d9d56448296fb9048>:0)

This error seems to indicate an issue related to PlasticSCM. However, I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong and how to resolve it.

Here are the steps I’ve taken so far:

I’ve checked my Unity version, and I’m using the latest version.

I’ve updated the PlasticSCM package available in the Unity Package Manager.

I’ve cleaned the project and recompiled it.

However, I’m still getting the same error. I need your help. How can I resolve this error? Do you have any suggestions or solutions?

Additionally, here is the code snippet from the ParseArguments class in the Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader namespace that might be relevant to the error:

using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Unity.PlasticSCM.Editor.ProjectDownloader
{
internal static class ParseArguments
{
internal static string CloudProject(Dictionary<string, string> args)
{
string data;

        if (!args.TryGetValue(CLOUD_PROJECT, out data))
            return null;

        return data;
    }

    internal static string CloudOrganization(Dictionary<string, string> args)
    {
        string data;

        if (!args.TryGetValue(CLOUD_ORGANIZATION, out data))
            return null;

        return GetOrganizationNameFromData(data);
    }

    internal static string ProjectPath(Dictionary<string, string> args)
    {
        string data;

        if (!args.TryGetValue(CREATE_PROJECT, out data))
            return null;

        return data;
    }

    static string GetOrganizationNameFromData(string data)
    {
        // data is in format: 151d73c7-38cb-4eec-b11e-34764e707226-danipen-unity
        int guidLenght = 36;

        if (data.Length < guidLenght + 1)
            return null;

        return data.Substring(guidLenght + 1);
    }

    const string CLOUD_PROJECT = "-cloudProject";
    const string CLOUD_ORGANIZATION = "-cloudOrganization";
    const string CREATE_PROJECT = "-createProject";
}

}

I appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide in resolving this error.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to provide an update regarding the error I previously posted about.

I received no solutions or suggestions from the community, but I wanted to share that the issue has been resolved. Surprisingly, simply restarting my computer resolved the problem. After turning off my computer and starting it again, I no longer experience the error when opening new projects in Unity.

I understand that this solution may not work for everyone, but it worked for me in this particular case. If anyone else encounters a similar error, I recommend trying a computer restart as a potential troubleshooting step.

Thank you to those who took the time to read and consider my issue. If you have any further insights or suggestions, please feel free to share them.
