No longer able to make VisionOS builds for Unity on macos-latest

[StephenHodgson]

Description

Previously I had been able to make automated builds on macos-latest with arm64 arch, but recent changes seem to have broken this.

I get an error about FMOD trying to initialize but then failing the build after some timeout.
I am able to make automated builds on my self hosted runner with the same tooling as the vanilla GitHub hosted runner.

Is it regression?

yes

Expected behavior

I can perform automated building with Unity Game Engine and Github Actions Runners for Vision OS platform

Actual behavior

FMOD failed to initialize the output device.: "A call to a standard soundcard driver failed, which could possibly mean a bug in the driver or resources were missing or exhausted. " (57)
Forced to initialize FMOD to to the device driver's system output rate 44100, this may impact performance and/or give inconsistent experiences compared to selected sample rate 48000

FMOD initialized on nosound output

Repro steps

See PR RageAgainstThePixel/unity-build#8

1. Create a new workflow using my Github Action as outlined in my repo readme.
2. Create a Unity account if needed and set secrets:

• UNITY_USERNAME
• UNITY_PASSWORD

4. Run the following workflow:

name: unity-build-validation

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - 'main'
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - '*'

HI @StephenHodgson, We are looking in to this issue.

[prasanjitsahoo]

HI @StephenHodgson , We are facing below error when trying to reproduce your pipeline. Do you have any recommendation, how to workaround it.

HI @StephenHodgson , We are facing below error when trying to reproduce your pipeline. Do you have any recommendation, how to workaround it.

Try using the latest 2022.3 LTS version. 2019.4.40 doesn't support arm64 which is required for the VisionOS platform.

In my test in my latest run failure I was using 2021.3.15f1 but didn't expressly install vision os platform.

My previous release run was using macos-latest with arm64 support and passed.

[StephenHodgson]

@prasanjitsahoo I updated my dev branch to only test for macos and updated the editor to 2022.3 LTS

Ok, we will continue to investigate and let you know.

Hi @StephenHodgson , I am getting Unity license Failure when trying to reproduce the issue. Any recommendation how to reproduce it without license. Attaching failure screenshot

Sounds like the secrets are not set correctly?

You don't need a license, but you do need an account with unity.

Set the UNITY_USERNAME and UNITY_PASSWORD

If already set double check your values.

Username should be the email address of your account.

I removed the 2FA requirement to make it easier.

Yes, I have created an UNITY account. Username and password also set to secrets correctly and after removed 2FA, facing same license failure issue

Still seems like the secret credential itself might still be incorrect.
Can you validate one more time you're using the same email and password to login at id.unity.com?

UNITY_USERNAME: your@email.com

HI @StephenHodgson , Thanks for your quick help on the challenges i faced. I can be able to run the pipelines now without the license and repro the issue. Meanwhile pipelines are getting succeeded now. I could see for your pipelines as well getting succeeded https://github.com/RageAgainstThePixel/unity-build/actions/runs/10057461498/job/27798459949. Attaching my screenshots for the same

Yes but 3 hrs on mac-latest seems like quite a long time compared to the mac-13 runner of 18 min

There may still be a misconfiguration issue on the runner image 🤔

I'm still getting these errors on mac-latest but not mac-13

Hi @StephenHodgson Please check now, it is getting passed twice for me today after latest deployment done.

Hi @StephenHodgson Please check now, it is getting passed twice for me today after latest deployment done.

I can still see from your screen shot that it's taking well over an hour for each step. Which seems like it is still broken.

The other builds take less than 20 min and macos-latest used to take roughly the same amount of time before it was broken.

See details in #10219 (comment)

Yes, We just observed that for arm based machine taking little longer as compared to intel based machine

[prasanjitsahoo]

Hi @StephenHodgson ,
We are aware of the issue and are working on it.

[StephenHodgson]

I updated my tests and GitHub actions to make repro easier:

• com.utilities.buildpipeline 1.4.1 RageAgainstThePixel/com.utilities.buildpipeine#29

[StephenHodgson]

Any update on this Audio Driver issue?

[StephenHodgson]

In my last test run I'm getting a slightly different error:

Failed to load ASTC compressor library from astcenc-sse42
...
Failed to load ASTC compressor library from astcenc-neon

Hey @StephenHodgson!

May I ask you to try it once with macOS-15 image? 🙇

[StephenHodgson]

@erik-bershel will do right now :)

[StephenHodgson]

@erik-bershel seems to be working in macOS-15 Just running into intermittent issues with licensing, prob due to machine id being the same or something.
