Android VM Compile failing

[clee2005]

Hey folks,

This just started happening with one of my projects. All my other projects are building fine, but this one is suddenly acting up. I tried on two different machines and it's the same, so it seems to be the project. YYC builds fine, but not VM. It fails for both Android and iOS exports. Windows seems to build fine. I've cleared the cache over and over with no success. Also rebooted. If it's a corrupt asset then I'd expect it to fail in YYC or in the Windows VM.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,

I gathered, from that output log, that some files are being locked and therefore can't be modified. This is often, well, very often, a sign that any security software you are running. Avast, AVG etc, is interfering with the build. Add GMS2 folder and your project folder to the allowed/exception/whitelist of your security software and try compiling again.

Thanks @Amon, it's a good thought and I checked that (just have Windows Defender running by default). Didn't see anything obvious. I'll look some more though. It'd be odd since the other projects are building without issue.

Edit : No idea, but after rebooting and building with YYC a few times the problem magically went away and now I can build with VM without issue. Glad to have it gone, but have no idea what happened there as I've had locked resources and reboots tend to fix it, and even stranger that 2 separate PC's had the same problem!
