Cannot create AugmentedImageDatabase if the Unity project has a space in the name

[joshliebe]

This happened to me in the middle of a demo unfortunately (The demo gods are never kind). I called the Unity project "GDG Demo" and after selecting the images -> Create -> GoogleARCore -> AugmentedImageDatabase, it couldn't create the database. The Quality for each image gets stuck at "Calculating...":

Here is the error from the log: chmod: /Users/joshualeibstein/Documents/Unity/GDG: No such file or directory chmod: Demo/Assets/GoogleARCore/CLI/augmented_image_cli_osx: No such file or directory

Hi, thanks for the report. I added it to our internal tracker.

As a workaround (thanks, @pablisho), for those have that would like to work with folder structures that contains spaces or other problematic characters, modify AugmentedImageDatabaseInspector.cs to wrap double quotes around the {0} image path argument, like so:

ShellHelper.RunCommand(cliBinaryPath,
  string.Format("eval-img --input_image_path \"{0}\"", imagePath), out quality, out error);

Hi, ARCore SDK for Unity 1.5.0 has been released and this issue should be fixed. Please feel free to comment if you still experience it.

[fredsa]

Another change is required: AugmentedImageDatabase.cs should be modified to quote cliBinaryPath argument.

After importing ARCore SDK for Unity 1.5.0, modify this line in AugmentedImageDatabase.cs: ShellHelper.RunCommand("chmod", "+x " + cliBinaryPath, out output, out error); to: ShellHelper.RunCommand("chmod", "+x \"" + cliBinaryPath + "\"", out output, out error);

This fix will be included in an upcoming release.

I experienced the same issue while following joshliebe's presentation code using SDK v 1.6.0. I did note that there is a space in one of my folder names the project sits in. Using Unity 2018.3 on Mac OS. Removing spaces from the file path did resolve the issue.

Fixed in ARCore for Unity SDK 1.6.0

This issue still happens in SDK 1.6.0 This long time on "Calculating..." could be related to the images size?

I do confirm the issue occurs with my configuration:

• OS X 10.9.5
• Unity 2017.4.24
• SDK 1.9.0

I am not able to open the "Example Database" while pictures have a minimum score of 85. I am not able to run the arcoreimg tool on OS X 10.9.5 but it works on OS X 10.13.6. I am not able to import in Unity an image database created from another machine.

Still happens in SDK 1.10.0 and Unity 2019.1.2f1

Can you try right-clicking on one or more of the sample images in the SDK (see screenshot), then selecting Create > Google ARCore > AugmentedImageDatabase?

I was able to create an Augmented Image Database using the ARCore SDK for Unity 1.10.0 (tried both Unity 2017.4.27f1 and 2019.1.4f1) on macOS 10.14.5 in a project folder named space is awesome.

For troubleshooting, can you try the following:

1. Close Unity (to avoid locking any files)
2. Remove Assets/GoogleARCore
3. Relaunch Unity and open project; ignore compile errors due to missing SDK files
4. Reimport arcore-unity-sdk-v1.10.0.unitypackage into your project
5. Try creating an Augmented Image Database

[CyanDeveloper]

No changes... still remain in "Calculating..." status. Any other idea?

[runaverse]

same error for me as well. also on a mac

[ade-adisa]

Same error here too, using Unity 2019.2.6 on a Mac

The only fix was to rename the folder in order to get my project to work again. Having the same issue using 2018.3.14f1 running on MacOS 10.14.6. Does not work with included sample images either. I tried the suggested troubleshooting and that didn't work. I also made a new project, imported the SDK, opened the Augmented Image sample scene and the default database is still stuck on calculating. Happens in ArCore SDK for Unity 1.13 and 1.12.

I have the same issue and I am using Unity 2019.3.2f1. I imported custom package arcore-unity-sdk-1.15.0.unitypackage and my image database is stuck calculating...
