generate_xml_from_google_services_json.exe file not found in Unity 2017.1f1

[Benjamin W.]

Hi,

I successfully used Firebase Database and Auth in my Unity 2017.1b10 project and just updated to Unit 2017.1f1 and when I started Unity I got the error:

Unable to find command line tool C:/2017/GitHub/AliensStraightFromHell/Assets\..\Assets\Firebase\Editor\generate_xml_from_google_services_json.exe required for Firebase Android resource generation.

C:/2017/GitHub/AliensStraightFromHell/Assets\..\Assets\Firebase\Editor\generate_xml_from_google_services_json.exe is required to generate the Firebase Android resource file google-services.xml from Assets/Firebase/google-services.json. Without Firebase Android resources, your app will fail to initialize.

C:/2017/GitHub/AliensStraightFromHell/Assets\..\Assets\Firebase\Editor\generate_xml_from_google_services_json.exe was distributed with each Firebase Unity SDK plugin, was it deleted?

UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()

I have checked it and the file is there but the folder Assets\..\Assets seems to be wrong.

Is it an Unity or Firebase bug ? Or did I miss something ?

Best

The path looks right if you haven't tried moving the file in your Unity project...

C:/2017/GitHub/AliensStraightFromHell/Assets\..\Assets\Firebase\Editor\generate_xml_from_google_services_json.exe

ends up as

C:/2017/GitHub/AliensStraightFromHell\Assets\Firebase\Editor\generate_xml_from_google_services_json.exe

Is it possible the file isn't set to be executable?

Cheers,

OK, all-clear! :)

I restarted Windows and the error is gone. Looks like Unity needs a Windows and project restart after installation. --I hope they release a beta f2 before the official release. I also reported this bug (/ weird behavior ) to Unity Technologies.

Thanks.

Read, Write, Read & Execute, Modify is allowed to Authenticated Users.

So I guess the answer is no. :(
