Unity recently added official Facebook WebGL and gameroom support, which is something that is greatly appreciated. I updated my project and built a WebGL build (which previously built just fine normally) to find it spit out an error and not make any files because the build failed. I’ve read around and apparently back in 2015 people were getting a similar error, so I’ve been trying every fix I can find in the book.
I’ve moved my project folder, messed with my environment variables, ran as administrator, downloaded the beta versions and tried them, installed python files, deleted python files, nothing seems to work. My game used to build to WebGL just fine because my team has been looking to focus on web development, and this has really just thrown a wrench in our plans. If anybody can decipher or send me a link to a thread where this was solved I would be very grateful, I’ve been googling for days.
Here’s the two errors I get in the unity window when it finishes building:
Exception: Failed building WebGL Player.

Is the new unity installer missing some file, or changed one it needs for webGL? I’m almost considering reverting back to an old version and just building for facebook the old way so it will work. Also, here’s a link to where my game is now for the curious: Duck n' Dodge Windows, Mac, iOS, Android game - Indie DB
