UnityBuildV3: Infinite build process

[axtox]

After 3.1.0 release Unity Build task doesn't end at all. We've faced this weird problem some time ago - but there was a workaround. To be able to build with Unity Task we were building our projects manually on the server for the first time, and then it will work as it should until server restart (sound like some kind of a temp files are generated on the very first run that couldn't be handled by Unity Pipeline Task). This trick doesn't after Unity Pipeline Task 3.1 release.

However, if we use hard-coded Command Line task to build the project - it will works just fine.

For Android we use: $(UnityEditorPath) -batchmode -buildTarget Android -projectPath $(Build.SourcesDirectory) -logfile Editor.log -executeMethod AutomatedBuild.Build For PC we use: $(UnityEditorPath) -batchmode -buildTarget Win -projectPath $(Build.SourcesDirectory) -logfile Editor.log -executeMethod AutomatedBuild.Build

What I noticed as well is that when Unity Pipeline Task starts it definitely runs the Editor on the background and project starts building. But at some point after build has finished and output files are generated Unity Task still running Do you have any ideas? Maybe I can find Unity Pipeline .log files somewhere? Nothing useful were printed in the TFS console.

The build task should with the latest update be streaming live build logs to the Azure DevOps console. Anything weird going on there? I understand you are building on a custom agent?

I'll look into this. Thanks.

We are building on Custom Build Agent install downloaded from TFS official site with some Environment Variables specified for Android SDK

Nothing useful were printed in the TFS console.

Well, there's something actually! It depends from project to project, but here's some logs from our definitions. This one ran for 5hrs and was automatically cancelled based on 'Maximum build time' definition setting:

And that one ran with 3.1.0 as well with Editors Variable set, it has some Oculus VR relative issues for unknown reasons, but it is working fine when we build it with Console Taks (as I described above):

We're seeing the same issue on version 2.5.1. Times out after the max set allowed, 600 minutes, or about 10 hours

It's also worth noting, this was working the day before on 2.4.6. The day it updated to 2.5.1 it started to stall.

I am still investigating here, I hope to get back to you soon.

[axtox]

If you need more information about projects, settings that we use or anything - just ask

[axtox]

Hi there, any news on this issue?

[axtox]

I just tried the suggested method in #137 issue - no luck. I've added the '-quit' flag into the Unity Build Pipeline Task attachments section. We will use custom command line task for now, still looking forward for the fix.
