How to reproduce issue

2. Import Bolt 1.2.6
3. In Wizard window click "Install core Bolt package"

Expected Behavior

Installation finishes successfully

Actual behavior

I receive two errors:

Configuration

• Unity Version: 2018.3.6f
• Bolt Version: 1.2.6 free
• Operating System: win10

Can you try to create your project in a different location? Maybe you don't have some permissions on the current directory you are trying to run the code.

The BoltRuntimeSettings.asset will only be recreated when running the Wizard Window if you delete it from the package (see line 268 of BoltWizardWindowUtils.cs), as the Bolt installation pack already comes with the default settings file.

Even to start the Wizard window, you need to have the Assets/bolt/resources/BoltRuntimeSettings.asset in place, so I don't see how this is possible to happen.

In any case, I've tried to reproduce your behavior several times using Unity 2017.x, 2018.1.x, 2018.2.x and 2018.3.x, but with no success.

Could you check if this occurs on other versions too?

Please, let me know.

This error occurs in 2018.2.20 too. Changing directory and giving full permissions didn't help either

With the same configuration as @buzzard2 I'm seeing these errors and the same behavior described, but I thought I'd add that there's a warning that I get at the same time:

Invalid AssetDatabase path: C:\Workspace\Unity\TestBolt\Assets\bolt\resources\BoltRuntimeSettings.asset. Use path relative to the project folder.

We are working to solve this. Thx for the feedback.

I'm getting this same behavior as well, with the same warning and errors. I should mention that I'm getting two warnings, though. The second warning is identical to @DavidMann10k's, except it's for

UnityEditor.AssetDatabase:CreateAsset(Object, String)
BoltWizardWindow:InitialSetup() (at Assets/bolt/scripts/editor/BoltWizardWindowUtils.cs:273)

instead of just the one warning for LoadAsset().

Using 2018.2.201f1.

[ramonmelo]

Fixed on Bolt v1.2.7.

Thanks for the feedback.
