[SOLVED] Can't Add Script Component Error

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

I am experiencing an error where when I try to add a script to a text object, I get a pop-up stating that "Can't add script component 'NAME' because the script class cannot be found. Make sure that there are no compiler errors and that the file name and class name match" . The class name and script name DO match (they are both CubeTime with correct capitalization) and there are no compiler errors as the only thing in the code is defining a public variable at the moment. In addition, when it was working the script would disappear from the text object upon saving the scene. Please help?

EDIT: forgot to mention, I am getting errors in the console with no message in them when I try to run the game when the script decides to load
EDIT2: Unity also says that there is No MonoBehaviour script in the file, or their names do not match the file name but the names DO match

Use code tags to show us your code, otherwise can’t really diagnose the problem

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.IO.Ports;

public class CubeTime : MonoBehaviour {

    public string cubeTime = "12.34";
   
    void Start()
    {

    }

    void Update()
    {
       
    }
}

this is all that the code is right now, and the script is named ‘CubeTime’ in Unity as well…

I’ve remade the project like 8 times, and even just after creating a script and making no modifications, I can’t drag it to any game objects

SOLVED

uninstalled Unity Hub, now it works fine!

It’s something to do with Assembly Definition Files getting messed up so it just won’t compile anything properly.

Anyone know how to force a recompile like it does when Hub isn’t installed?
