Build warnings like: 'Failed to add the asset file size for' in 5.2.0p1

These warnings are shown in the Console window.

Failed to add the asset file size for b24777957ec9d44649061dab714daf90
Failed to add the asset file size for sharedassets0.resource
Failed to add the asset file size for sharedassets10.resource

What does this mean and what causes these warnings?
Unity 5.2.0f3 doesn't show them.

 

This is happening to me too. And my Android builds are no longer working...

 

I have reported the bug: 730075
My builds seem to work fine, at least on the device that I am using to verify the builds.

 

My builds are working so far, but the message appears to me as well:
- Failed to add the asset file size for resources.resource

 

Same here. App builds fine though and there's no problem during play.

 

For me it happens when building for Android. And when I run the app on the android device there is no audio (loaded from resources).
I'm testing it in Unity 5.2.1f1

 

same here

 

Same error for two assets on 5.2.1

 

Same here. In my case, the shown guid points to FacebookSettings.cs
@mark71: whare can I find your bug report? I could not find 730075 in the issue tracker.

 

I don't know why it is not shown in the issue tracker, the bug report number is correct.

 

How do you match the GUIDs?

 

Getting all sorts of these errors.... in 5.2.1p1

Opened a bug report, case: 730952

Yes, I misspelled add (not ass, Sorry, UT)...lol...leave it to me to turn a simple, 3-letter word into foul language

I think this might be related to resource loading....it seems like everyone in this thread is using assets from a resource folder.

 

(there must be some kind of moderation over the issue tracker - i cant see 730075 nor 730952)
@neonblue: i just did a grep. having asset serialization set to text probably helps

 

There is something definitely wrong here.....This happens on Android builds for any of my projects.
These are the build warnings:

The first warning shows up on every project. Sometimes I get Failed to add the asset file size for sharedassets0.resource.

My builds are also behaving as though some scripts are missing. Can anyone else confirm strange behavior on builds? My serialized dictionaries seem to be affected in builds only.

@ekt I believe that bugs have to be reviewed before they are posted to the tracker.

 

I haven't noticed any strange behaviour, to me it seems to be working as before.
Happens on Android builds, not on winclient
building from the command line, there's a stack trace, might be usefull for unity devs

Code (CSharp):

1. Failed to add the asset file size for 25d16bd96ce334bc4b521072c4441caa
2. UnityEditor.BuildPipeline:BuildPlayerInternalNoCheck(String[], String, BuildTarget, BuildOptions, Boolean, UInt32&)

4. UnityEditor.BuildPipeline:BuildPlayer(String[], String, BuildTarget, BuildOptions) (at C:\buildslave\unity\build\artifacts\generated\common\editor\BuildPipelineBindings.gen.cs:145)

8.  

 

In my case it's already set to text. Didn't help. Also I've tried several different sound settings (in my case I don't hear sounds living in resources on android). Didn't help either.

 

Ok, this explains why I'm seeing issues on my display after deployment... Some resources that are key for layout are not getting included. This is a huge deal....

 

I'm seeing the same type of errors, the build seems to work fine though.

 

Yes, I have resources missing from builds as well
@ekt How were you able to build from the command line? I would like to take a look at the stack traces

 

I'm having the same problem and there are things missing in my android build which were working right up to the upgrade. As far as I can see it has only affected 9 slice backgrounds in UI panels, but I'm getting far more warnings than I can visually identify.

 

Sure, I'll try first thing in the morning.

 

@spryx: command line build is basically executing unity.exe with some parameter. something like

Code (CSharp):

1. unity.exe -quit -batchmode -buildTarget android -executeMethod ContinuousIntegration.BuildAndroidApk -projectPath %projectFolder%  -logFile %LocalLogFile% -outputFile %outBinaryAndroid%

ContinuousIntegration.BuildAndroidApk is a script you write, where you eventually call BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer(). I can share you mine, but there are lots of resources out there explaining it much better.

Attached, the build logs. Stack trace is around line 440.

 

I'm getting 700+ of these errors on a Windows build and while the build appears to succeed, some things which work in the editor do nothing in the player. Feels like scripts are missing/not being wired up.

 

@ekt thank you for the tip and the script

I suppose the problems I am having have something to do with my serialized dictionary :/... sigh.

 

Thanks for clearing this out. I'll just ignore these messages.
Remains the fact that my audio resources are not loading/playing when building for Android. They work in the editor and because this is originally a Unity 4.6 project, it's strange it's not working when upgrading to 5.2.1f1

 

I was on 5.2.0 before and didn't have the warning with the same project. But after upgrading to 5.2.1f it did.

 

@Ignacio Liverotti
No, the platform should be Android... Thanks for testing

 

I first went to 5.2.1f1. Then to 5.2.1p1 and then back to 5.2.1f1
(target platform Android)

 

I will thanks (I'm a bit busy so I hope tomorrow)

 

@Ignacio Liverotti : I've created a project to demonstrate the problem en submitted the problem. You can find it in Unity's FogBugz under ticket number: 732568
Hopefully it wil help

UPDATE: I found out what my problem was! Because of performance reasons I had a method that loaded the resource file and unloaded the asset. I had read somewhere that it's the best way to do it:
private AudioClip GetAudioClip(string path)
{
var result = Resources.Load < AudioClip>(path);
Resources.UnloadAsset(result);
return result;
}

Although this works in the editor and on the web, Android and iOS with Unity 4, it doesn't work anymore in Unity 5.2.1f1 targetting Android. So removing the UnloadAsset line fixes the problem.

 

Same issue after upgrading for Unity 5.2.1 got this error when building fro Android, also some of images of scenes where crashed. Static Scenes like Menu and Shop Dramatically draped in FPS... everything looks extremely laggy... some animation on UI elements not working at all. But in game scene everything looks all right. (2d platformer game).

 

Same here. I get "Failed to add the asset file size for ..." on every android build. I am on 5.2.1

 

I really like the artstyle on that menu.

 

Thanks mate! But it looks much better with animation and without mosaic)

 

Great News, Thank you! I Hope it will work and they will fix this ridicules error in an upcoming patch.

 

Just wanted to add I'm getting these errors as well and I'm developing for Windows desktop standalone. I'm getting 96 of them in one of my projects after building. It doesn't keep me from building and playing the game, but I am noticing some weird frames where some of my assets will disappear for a frame or two. But it could be a 3rd party plugins fault and not Unity's.

Anyways, one of the errors looks like this:

"Failed to add the asset file size for GI/mainData/0c/0c16a81e85ff6f54421aa53fad40d977.ecm
UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()"

I upgraded from version 5.1.1p1 to 5.2.1p2.

 

Any news?

 

Some of my art assets that are as simple as an empty game objects are losing their color on a build. I've tried recreating and reimporting numerous times. It lasts a short while then repeats. Going to version 5.1 is not an option as I tried but then Unity can't find the Dropdown class needed (mind you the prefab works fine ...somehow?) in my scripts and forceActive true is missing.

Do you know about when (approximately) this would be released?

 

empty game objects with an image component in them*

 

We had to role back to 5.1.1, Just too many issues with 5.2 including this one

 

Besides the warnings I get this error quite often (50%) when making a build:
"Cannot load Atlas During Build/Enter Game. Missing File ?"
Can it be ignored like the warnings?
Unity 5.2.1p2

 

I have the same error. It's failing to load my audio clips when I build (although things work fine in the editor).
