Ecosystem doesn t work

[emildragan]

Hi,

For a few months, ecosystem looks dead for Unity versions 2023.2.16f1 and even lower version.

After import, I get
GUI Error: Invalid GUILayout state in EcosystemBrowser view. Verify that all layout Begin/End calls match
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

and when try to take an action, I get
ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: bytes
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes (System.String path, System.Byte[] bytes) (at <f843d796055e4deaa447e7ba073cff5f>:0)

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Sorry about this, looking into it now...

Hi,

ok, thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.

make sure you have the latest ecosystem as well, just in case

Hi,

All good on unity 2022 and 2023.

You can ignore the error about the GUI Error, the other error is more problematic.

Can you confirm you are using the latest playmaker and ecosystem?

Bye,

Jean

Hello,

Yes, so I checked again, Playmaker is version 1.9.8. The ecosystem I tried today to download again from the menu - Playmaker - Download Addons and I have the error  like it is not available. Please see the attached image.

I installed the latest ecosystem that I had in my computer, which is 0.6.11, and same errors appear, like this one
ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Hi,

Something is odd with your internet connection, I just checked again the link from the wiki page and it works fine.

As for the error in the project. Can you create a brand new project, install just playmaker and just the ecosystem, and if you get the error, can you zip that project and send it to me?

Bye,

Jean

[emildragan]

I just sent you a transfer with an empty project, playmaker and ecosystem installed and with the same errors.

It s weird what you say about internet connection, but it s true, and maybe it s connected with that error, the fact that I cannot download. On my computer even if I am connect with a cable or wifi, that link of ecosystem doesn t work.
If I try with my phone, connected to the same network, it works, so I don t know.

Thanks.

[Broken Stylus]

It's working on my side.

Side question, but are there any plans to have a bright theme for the Ecosystem interface? I'm not working in a cave so the dark theme is not practical at all.

I'm also experiencing issues with Ecosystem when downloading packages. When I download individual actions I don't have any problems.

I tried already to uninstall Ecosystem and download it again from the https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/?W1181

It happened a few weeks ago when I tried to install the arraymaker package, and today is happening again with the TextMeshPro packages.

This is the error I get when I close the ecosystem window and I reopen it again.

And when I click the Get button I get the following error:

So, the package is showing up green like it's been downloaded, but the import window's not popping up at all. I'm pretty sure it's not actually downloading anything though, because when I look in the Playmaker Custom Actions folder, there's nothing related to the action or package.

Unity version: 2022.3.25f1
Playmaker: 1.9.8.f1
Ecosystem: 0.6.11

Edit: I also tried in a fresh new project, and only Playmaker was installed—still, the same error when tried to download a package.

I'm also having this issue, with the "value cannot be null" error. I've been having it intermittently for weeks, but it's bad tonight.

[jeanfabre]

Hi,

 The two errors about  GUI Error and Argument Exception for Group position control can be ignored.

I tried on the project that was sent to me and I could not repro the "Value cannot be null".

What search do you input exactly, maybe it matters.

Bye,

Jean

[JoeGameDev]

I searched for Pooler. Previously I searched for Get Axis Raw and had the same issue.

[Alatriste]

I searched for "TextMesh Pro" or "Arraymaker"
I don't have problems with individual actions but with packages.

[emildragan]

So for me, when I search anything it works, when I download, doesn t matter what, it doesn t work and I have the null error.

I think it s an internet problem, since again, when I try to download the ecosystem package from playmaker website, I have this error.

Hmmm… can't reach this pageIt looks like the webpage at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeanfabre/PlayMaker--Ecosystem--Browser/master/Packages/Ecosystem.unitypackage might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

It shows like that only on laptop or computer, on the phone, connected to the same network, I can download.

Ecosystem is hosted on github I think, so should be a connectivity problem, but I can go directly to the github page and take from there manually any action, so I don t know what else to say.

Hi,
I get the same error codes. So what is your solution?
