Title: json parsing error. object reference not set to an instance of an object [FIXED]
Post by: emildragan on May 18, 2020, 09:45:25 AM: Hi,

I am getting this error lately very often when I want to search anything on ecosystem. I am using playmaker v1.9, unity 2019.1.14 and windows 10. It's happening very often, specially when I need something urgent, like speech recognition actions now. I tried on github to get those actions, but it's throwing some other errors, so ecosystem should work. I tried enabling beta, still nothing.

Is there a fix for this error?

Thanks.

What are the 'other' errors

its possible you need to get latest 'PlayMaker Utils' as well.

Jean is aware of the issue and trying to solve the issue.

Post by: emildragan on May 31, 2020, 10:53:34 AM: Hello,

I am writing again on this topic because for me it throws the same errors with playmaker v1.9, nothing works to search on ecosystem. I have the same error with a fresh project Unity 2019.3.15.f1 , Json parsing error.
In the console it says Assets\net.fabrejean\Editor\PlayMaker\Ecosystem\EcosystemBrowser.cs(2645,16): warning CS0414: The field 'EcosystemBrowser._searchParsed' is assigned but its value is never used.
I have imported Playmaker Utilities folder in my project, tried with beta, nothing works.
When I search for audio, for example, I have this warning http://www.fabrejean.net/projects/playmaker_ecosystem/search/audio?content_type_mask=&repository_mask=U3U4U5U2017U2018U2019&EcosystemVersion=0.6.8&UnityVersion=2019.3.15f1&PlayMakerVersion=1.9.0.p20
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object).

Please, any help on this topic. Thanks.

I am on this, haven't figured out yet why the ecosystem works on some projects and not on others...

Bye,

Post by: emildragan on June 09, 2020, 08:32:23 AM: Hi,

I have an update on this. Ecosystem works if I donwngrade its version, let s say 0.6.6, it doesn work only with latest version, 0.6.8.
So, with an older version it works to download custom actions, but doesn t work with packages, for example I wanted to download speechregonition package. It s stuck at downloading information. In the console I have
missing uid for https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlayMakerEcosystem/PlayMakerCustomActions_U2018/master/PlayMaker/Ecosystem/Custom%20Packages/Audio/SpeechRecognition.unitypackage
UnityEngine.Debug:Log(Object)
or
ProceedWithImport for https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlayMakerEcosystem/PlayMakerCustomActions_U2018/master/PlayMaker/Ecosystem/Custom%20Packages/Audio/SpeechRecognition.package.txt?uid=3 {
"__ECO__":"__PACKAGE__",

Any idea if I can do something to fix this?

Thanks.

I am this, Unity is capricious, unity hub is very buggy, I can't create a new project using 2019.3.15f1 that I just installed... trying to fix this first.

I'll get back to you with my findings.

Bye,

Jean

Post by: emildragan on June 13, 2020, 05:44:09 PM: Hi, I know you said to wait for your response. I really need the speech recognition package from the ecosystem which now doesn t download. Is there a way to have it from other place and to work? I found some packages on github, but not this one.

Thanks.

If you click on preview it will bring you to the github page (see sample image)

For a package it will open the text file that is used to get file info etc.
Click on the last part like on the picture (to go up a folder)

Then it should look something like this :

Select the file with the .unityPackage extension.

Then click download.

Then open the file while your project is active to install in your project.

I started getting this error message since yesterday. Searching for a solution led me to this page. As I understand there isn't much I can do beside posting there and hoping Jean will notice it...
Cheers,

Title: Re: json parsing error. object reference not set to an instance of an object
Post by: jeremyPaggers on September 04, 2021, 08:19:09 AM: Hi Guys,
This is crazy. I've just installed the latest version of Unity, started a brand new project and installed the latest version of PlayMaker, and I get the same error message. I cannot use the Ecosystem. I'm trying to use the PUN package. Couldn't get it from the Ecosystem, so I downloaded it manually from the PLayMaker website, only to have 30 or 40 critical errors pop up.

This is extremely disappointing.

Please help.

Thanks

Post by: Peeter1978 on September 04, 2021, 12:24:19 PM: Yep, there's something wrong with Ecosystem and I recon we all just have to wait until it's being repaired. Patience, my fello devs, patience!

yes, guys, something has gone wrong with my shared hosting for the server side of the ecosystem, this is currently being resolved, hopefully, this will be fixed soon.

Bye,

Post by: t4d on September 08, 2021, 01:28:07 AM: any update getting the same error is there anything way to get the extra actions ?

Post by: djaydino on September 08, 2021, 02:09:37 PM: Hi.
Its actually the shared hosting provider that is the issues and suddenly broke it.
if they don't fix soon jean will change provider and update the Ecosystem to connect.

Post by: Peeter1978 on September 10, 2021, 05:19:36 AM: Ecosystem is working now! Just tested version 0.6.11 it out in Unity 2020.3.3f1 and everything worked - the search bar worked and I got to download what I needed. Many thanks to Jean! :)

The Ecosystem is working again.
Apparently the webhost did an update without letting jean know.
