I keep getting the error "needle engine expects version 4.3.x but gets 4.3.1 " when i Play local. It started to happen after updating my needle engine package.

It seems like the issue you’re encountering with Needle Engine is related to a version mismatch between the package versions defined and what the system expects.

The error “needle engine expects version 4.3.x but gets 4.3.1” indicates that there might be an issue with the specific versioning format that is being used or defined within your project dependencies. It’s attempting to match a more general semantic versioning pattern (e.g., 4.3.x), but it is encountering a specific version instead.

Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

  1. Check Package Configuration: Ensure your package.json file accurately reflects any required dependencies for Needle Engine. The version might need to be specified in a broader sense (e.g., using variations of semantic versioning) (see the documentation).

  2. Update npm Packages: Run an update for your npm packages to ensure all dependencies are aligned with the expected versions:

    npm update @needle-tools/engine

  3. Verify Engine and Node Versions: Make sure that the versions you’re using for Node.js and npm are compatible with Needle Engine, as incompatibilities can sometimes cause version errors (see the documentation).

  4. Explore Version Management in Unity: If you are using Unity, check if Unity Plugin settings are also specifying expected versions and causing an issue with the Needle Engine update (see the documentation).

By ensuring that all relevant dependencies (including the versions defined in your package.json) are correctly set and ensuring alignment between what the project expects and what’s installed, you should be able to resolve the mismatch error.

If issues persist, and you are sure configurations are generally correct, considering checking the specific npm logs for additional context or malformed JSON files in your setup (see the documentation).

If you have further questions or require additional assistance with something specific in your setup, feel free to ask!

Hi, thanks for the report.

It’s nothing to worry about - the dependency watcher is a vite plugin and just trying to detect when a package version changes and can just not handle the 4.3.x semver syntax.

It shouldnt affect your project otherwise, I’ll make a note to fix this in the watcher.

it keeps giving error and I can’t launch the project locally. And after several tries if it does, it gives error that i haven’t added npm def which i have added in the dependency already

Ok, try turning it OFF for now via the vite config in your web project.

Edit “vite.config.js” and change the needlePlugins file like so:

needlePlugins(command, needleConfig, { noDependencyWatcher: true }),
