Not working with Unity :(

[etiennepinchon]

Hi,

I spent the whole day trying to make this project work with Unity but unfortunately I still cannot import the dll without errors. I tried many different things and it seems like the necessary dependencies are not included in the build. Here is the kind of errors I am getting when importing the dll of Networker:

Unable to resolve reference 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions'. Is the assembly missing or incompatible with the current platform?
Reference validation can be disabled in the Plugin Inspector.
Unable to resolve reference 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions'. Is the assembly missing or incompatible with the current platform?
Reference validation can be disabled in the Plugin Inspector.
Unable to resolve reference 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging'. Is the assembly missing or incompatible with the current platform?
Reference validation can be disabled in the Plugin Inspector.
Unable to resolve reference 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions'. Is the assembly missing or incompatible with the current platform?
Reference validation can be disabled in the Plugin Inspector.
Unable to resolve reference 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection'. Is the assembly missing or incompatible with the current platform?
Reference validation can be disabled in the Plugin Inspector.
Unable to resolve reference 'Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions'. Is the assembly missing or incompatible with the current platform?
Reference validation can be disabled in the Plugin Inspector.

Any idea what I am doing wrong or how to fix it?

Thank you, Etienne

I'll have a go at adding a project to Unity today and let you know if I get it working. It's been a while since I used Unity with Networker but need to make sure it's still OK!

I got it working for .NET 4.* but not for standard 2.0, there's some horrible reference conflicts going on

Change your Unity project to target .NET 4.*

• Create a new C# project which references Networker and targets .NET 4.7.2 • Set to Release • Build • Go to output and copy the .DLL files, put them into a folder in your Unity project called Plugins • Create new script for your network code in unity project which derives from MonoBehavior

That worked! Thank you very much @MarkioE

Additionally I found a way to bundle all the dlls together to makes things a bit cleaner in Unity using ILRepacker by adding the following code in the vs project:

        <ItemGroup>
            <InputAssemblies Include="$(TargetPath)" />
            <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection'" />
      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions'" />
      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging'" />
      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions'" />
      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Configuration'" />
      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration'" />
      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions'" />
      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions'" />

      <InputAssemblies Include="@(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies)" Condition="'%(filename)' == 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe'" />

        </ItemGroup>

        <ILRepack AllowDuplicateResources="false" DebugInfo="true" Internalize="true" InputAssemblies="@(InputAssemblies)" OutputFile="$(TargetPath)" Parallel="true" TargetKind="SameAsPrimaryAssembly" />
    </Target> ```
