"Item {file path} does not exist in workspace" errors after Every. Single. Change. In. Editor.

[Sentient Play]

Frequently when working in Unity with the plastic plugin (especially working in prefabs) I will get errors about items that don't exist. The items are sometimes other prefabs that have been renamed/moved/deleted that had referenced/included the gameobjects that I'm editing. Sometimes it's the prefab that I'm inside of.

Hi,

Do you get those errors when trying to checkin? I'm guessing if it could be that we are not finding the changes after the rename and that's why it fails. 

If you run the check-in in steps, does it work? (first the changed, then the moved, and so on).

 

Best,

Héber.

Hi

I have similar problem. I did try to check-in things in steps like suggested. It has no effect. Even when I don't select the files in question Plastic Complains.

Three images show the sequence:

1. I do not mark the files in question for check-in
2. I click check-in, and get the attached error
3. The missing files are now ticked off in the check-in window.

 

 

After looking at this more, the added ticks for non existing files only happens when I try to check in a change to the same files it can't find from their new folder.

Is there a way to make plastic forget about the old names of these folders?

I made an account just to drive home how absolutely insane it is that a version control software can't automatically handle deleted folders. What are these "check in steps"? And why are there specific steps at all?

Hi @Orville,  do you receive the same error message as the forum title?  Please open a ticket with the support team.

I have opened a ticket, and there is a screenshot of the error message above. It is not worded 100% identically, but it seems to be the same

Talked to support. When we used the seperate Plastic SCM client and pointed it to the unity project folder it worked perfectly. We were able to check in all the files, also the ones that were giving me problems when I tried to check them in from the Plastic SCM interface inside of unity. From now I'll do all my checkins from the seperate client.
