Issues with 2018.2.0b7 Beta

[VR-Architect]

Downloaded and ran in 2018.2.0b7 beta and noticed:

• Package Manager is not in Window menu
• Job menu is not there
• Errors:

- Read only asset Packages/com.unity.entities/Unity.Transforms/TransformInputBarrier.cs has no meta file.
- C:/Users/Brian/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.11/Unity.Entities.Editor/ExtraTypesProvider.cs(6,32): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Build' does not exist in the namespace `UnityEditor.Experimental'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

Manifest.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.unity.entities": "0.0.11"
  },
  "registry": "https://staging-packages.unity.com"
}

Using .NET 4.0

Did a reinstall of packages and the Job and Package Manager menu items appeared. But error messages remained.

Did an upgrade of Entities to v0.0.12-preview and got these errors:

- C:/Users/Brian/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.12-preview.5/Unity.Entities/SerializeUtility.cs(28,73): error CS1644: Feature `out variable declaration' cannot be used because it is not part of the C# 6.0 language specification

- C:/Users/Brian/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.12-preview.5/Unity.Entities/SerializeUtility.cs(153,52): error CS1644: Feature `out variable declaration' cannot be used because it is not part of the C# 6.0 language specification

- C:/Users/Brian/AppData/Local/Unity/cache/packages/staging-packages.unity.com/com.unity.entities@0.0.12-preview.5/Unity.Entities/SerializeUtility.cs(153,78): error CS1644: Feature `out variable declaration' cannot be used because it is not part of the C# 6.0 language specification

So added the new incremental compiler to the manifest.json file

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.unity.entities": "0.0.12-preview.5",
	"com.unity.incrementalcompiler": "0.0.42-preview.3"
  },
  "registry": "https://staging-packages.unity.com"
}

And this resulted a lot of errors saying bool1 type can't be found.

[VR-Architect]

Noticed this forum post regarding bool1 and created a file called bool1.cs with this code:

using System;

public struct bool1
{
    private byte Value;

    public static implicit operator bool1(bool b)
    {
        return new bool1() { Value = Convert.ToByte(b) };
    }

    public static implicit operator bool(bool1 b)
    {
        return b.Value == 1;
    }
}

Now have only one error left and no idea how to move forward:
Internal error: Recursion detected while updating scripts (assembly name: Assembly-CSharp-Editor.dll)

Closed the editor and re-opened the project and all errors are now gone. Project ran

Hope this helps others out!

Well, spoke to soon. When Build and Run got a malware message from my anti-virus tool called BitDefender which blocked it:

C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\cache\packages\staging-packages.unity.com\com.unity.bur...\.Runtime\bcl.exe
C:\Windows\System32\conhost.exe

Of course, the blocking caused errors in the build:

Failed running C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Unity\cache\packages\staging-packages.unity.com\com.unity.burst@0.2.4-preview.7\.Runtime\bcl.exe @C:\Users\Brian\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp4597fb13.tmp

Guess I will stick with standard Unity for now and move to ECS when it matures.

The recursion stems from UnityUpgrader not really upgrading some new stuff. I think it was PrefabUtility.GetPrefabParent. Just build in your api and fix UnityUpgradable warnings.

After that fix everything works. You should report your false positive virus case.

Bcl.exe is the burst compiler, deactivating burst compilation in Jobs menu might work around it for now.
