HasSymlinkSupport errors on Windows 11

🌵 Needle Engine

Using Unity 2022.2.12 with Exporter 2.67.14-pre on Windows, I am getting this spammed in the console when I select the Export Info component, the component doesn’t load due to these errors, rolled back to the last version of Exporter that I was using before and this error went away.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Needle.Engine.Utils.DriveHelper.HasSymlinkSupport (System.String path) (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.needle.engine-exporter@2.67.14-pre/Core/Editor/Utils/DriveHelper.cs:13)
Needle.Engine.Editors.ExportInfoEditor.OnInspectorGUI () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.needle.engine-exporter@2.67.14-pre/Core/Editor/Editors/ExportInfoEditor.cs:237)

That would mean a DriveInfo wouldnt have a format string? Or GetDrives returns a null drive? drive.DriveFormat.StartsWith

3

Will add some more checks but didnt know what was possible - can you share some info about your system?

4

you can gather some info here: Questions and Answers (FAQ) 💡 | Needle Engine Documentation

I’ll do a proper github issue for this if needed so I can post bigger logs and info?

Rider says DriveFormat can’t be null so it must be the drive being null (unless it’s false information)

Would just be curious what you get here, you can just post it here

Searched for ‘installing’ on the page using ctrl+f and nothing comes up

Try refresh with a cleared cache (CTRL+Shift+R for me)

12

its at the bottom of the page

chrome likes to cache :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks, hefty cache

not sure if the docs can set a version id or something to enforce refresh - but a different topic maye :smile:
