SpineSettings changing win/mac

foriero

Hi Harald,

SpineSettings keep changing between macOS and WIN Unity editor. I commit my changes ( macOS ) into github. My colleagues open it in ( win ) Unity editor and their side the textureSettingsReference gets none object. They push and again. On my side the PMATexturePreset is assigned. And we keep this loop every time we commit changes.

May I ask for fix please? thank you.

In general you should teach your colleages to not commit changes without review, and to only commit changes that they deliberately made.

It could be due to the SpineSettings.asset file not being found at your colleages projects, so it re-initializes the settings file. I just fixed some code that required the SpineSettings.asset file in a fixed location, now it can be placed anywhere in your Assets directory, perhaps this fixes your problem.

You can download the updated 3.8 unitypackage here as usual:

If it does not fix the problem: Where is the location of the referenced asset at your colleages PCs, is it located at the same path?

I'm seeing this, too. Windows users clear out the textureSettingsReference and also usually set atlasTxtImportWarning to 1. Mac users do the opposite.

Can this file safely be removed from version control altogether?

We do not deliberately change anything. It is changing itself.

Possible bug is if you use Path.Combine and then File.Exists.

I'm sorry to hear that the problem still persists.

Basically yes, you can safely remove this file from version control and let every local user choose her own preferences. As it contains default values that are used upon import and options whether warnings are shown or hidden, it doesn't break anything if it's not in version control.

Nevertheless, we would like to fix this issue properly. We have created an issue ticket here:
https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/issues/1895
Unfortunately we could not yet reproduce this problem locally, we could not get the setting to reset to an empty string in the saved asset file.

Nevertheless, a commit has just been pushed to both 3.8 and 4.0-beta branches, which hopefully fixes the problem. Please let us know if the problem still persists after installing the latest unitypackages from here:
Spine Unity Download

Please also double-check if the PMATexturePreset.preset file exists on the machines of your windows users (where it is saved as the empty string). It would also be interesting to know whether there are multiple SpineSettings.asset files present on your user's machines when the preference property it is saved as the empty string.

Possible bug is if you use Path.Combine and then File.Exists.

I'm afraid I can't quite follow what exactly is problematic with this combination, could you please describe it in a bit more detail?
