[Resolved] Trouble with Unity 5.4.1f command line on Jenkins

Unity Engine
1

Hi, I’m writing this, hoping someone else has encountered something similar and can help me.

The gist of it is this: The command line build works if it is run locally but fails when run through Jenkins.
I’m building iOS and Android versions.

The setup is a Win7 x64 Jenkins Slave with Unity 5.4.1f installed on it for Android, and an i7 Mac mini with the same version of Unity for iOS.
On Windows, the same account was used to run the command manually and through Jenkins.

Both win7 and macos slaves fail with the exact same result: “3 errors”.
I’ve tried pretty much everything I can think of and I’m really out of ideas.
Is there any way to see what those 3 errors are ?

What is in this line?
AutomaticBuildScript.PerformAndroidBuild:173

Also, this doesn’t look like the full build log to me… is this all you get from Jenkins?
If you have access to the build agent, i would connect there and copy the entire editor.log file and examine it (and post it here to help find the issue).

Sorry I didn’t post sooner but I was already at home.

I have access to the build agent. I ran the build command offline on the same machine.
I also have the full log, however I have to go over it and make sure it’s OK to post.
What is posted is the relevant part, the log for the successful build is otherwise identical up until the error.

I’m also quite sure the cause is some sort of remote read or execution permission the JVM lacks because the build command runs fine on the exact same machine. But I don’t know exactly what Unity tries to access during the build that would cause this behavior.

AutomaticBuildScript.PerformAndroidBuild is used in the build command.

This is the code for AutomaticBuildScript.PerformAndroidBuild:

static void PerformAndroidBuild()
{
  AndroidSDKFolder.Path = "D:/Tools/AndroidSDK";

  Debug.Log("Application.dataPath=" + Application.dataPath);
  Debug.Log("SvnRevision=" + GetCustomArgument("SvnRevision"));
  Debug.Log("Config=" + GetCustomArgument("Config"));

  string config = GetCustomArgument("Config");
  string svnrevision = GetCustomArgument("SvnRevision");
  string version = PlayerSettings.bundleVersion;
  if (svnrevision.Length > 0)
  {
    version += "." + svnrevision;
  }
  PlayerSettings.bundleVersion = version;

  string apkfilename = "PuzzleBuilder_" + config + "_iv" + version + "_rev" + svnrevision + ".apk";
  string apkname = Application.dataPath + "/../" + apkfilename;

  string[] SCENES = FindEnabledEditorScenes();
  GenericBuild(SCENES, apkname, BuildTarget.Android, BuildOptions.None);
}

and the code for AutomaticBuildScript.GenericBuild:

static void GenericBuild(string[] scenes, string target_dir, BuildTarget build_target, BuildOptions build_options)
{
  string result = BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer(scenes,target_dir,build_target,build_options);
  EditorUserBuildSettings.SwitchActiveBuildTarget(build_target);
  if (result.Length > 0)
  {
    throw new Exception(result); // <- This is where I get the "3 errors" message
  }
}

Did you try printing the error message (e.g: the variable ‘result’) ?
Could it be that Jenkins is only wired to print STDOUT or something similar and not the STDERR stream ?

Also, you can use procmon if you’re on Windows to determine what the build is doing and what it tries to access.

Hi liortal,
Thanks a bunch for the help.
Pretty much forgot procmon was even a thing anymore (though it ended with WinXP).

Win7 seems to build android, at least for now.
In procmon Unity (actually mono.exe) was complaining about being unable to access the “Assembly*.dll” assemblies.
So I set the owner of the workspace to the Jenkins user alone (it was owned by the group of the Jenkins user) and it started building again.

Mac also seems to build ios, again, at least for now.
On mac I had to bump up the Jenkins user to the “admin” group.

So in the end it’s very likely the 3 errors were likely the due to the 3 files: Assembly-CSharp.dll, Assembly-CSharp-Editor.dll and Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll. But that’s just a hunch based on what I saw.

Unfortunately the ‘result’ variable still only said “3 errors” when printed with Debug.Log(result).

Also to the Unity team, if anyone’s reading, hope I’m not being too coy asking, but please add detailed error reporting when using the command line version. “3 errors” is not exactly a very helpful message.
