Package errors when pulling project through Github on another PC

Unity Engine

Hi all,

I’m somewhat new, so sorry if this is a silly question. I’ve have a couple packages installed on my project (Input System and YarnSpinner). They work fine on one PC and I can do all the usual stuff (referring to package namespaces, adding component scripts/creating assets related to the packages etc).

However, upon pushing the project onto GitHub and pulling the project onto a another PC using Git bash, I get errors saying that all the namespaces related to the packages can’t be found in the project. All assets and component scripts related to the packages also can’t be loaded.

Looking into the package manager, the packages are in the project, so I don’t think it’s a case of not having the packages installed. Re-installing the packages on the package manager doesn’t seem to fix it either. They work perfectly fine on a fresh new project though, and I’m using the same Unity version on both PCs.

The only thing I can think of is something happening during the git pull, so I figured I’d have a look at the GitHub Unity plugin. However, I can’t seem to use the plugin on the pulled project after installing using the package manager, but again works fine on a fresh new project loaded on the 2nd PC.

I don’t suppose anyone would happen to know anything?

EDIT: I’m using Unity 2020.1.0f1

I don’t suppose you could screencap or post a log specifically saying what the errors are, could you?

Sure thing!

Here’s also the my package manager, to hopefully confirm that I have the packages installed.

Here is also the editor log

Hello, I figured it out. I didn’t realise that .gitignore only ignores folders/files that are not yet in the repository, and I assume one of the folders/files that wasn’t properly ignored was messing with the packages.

So when you add new files to ignore in the .gitignore, you need to clear the git cache.

git add .
git commit -m "Added more stuff to .gitignore"```

Oh, interesting. Thank you! That one was a bit of a headscratcher. Glad you were able to find a fix.
