UnauthorizedAccessException

Question

Hello,

I just imported Material into my Unity project. When I startup unity i get multiple exceptions from Material saying "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\MaterialUIData" is denied"

It doesn't break anything (that I can tell). How do i fix this?

Thanks!

It looks like MaterialUIDataTool's GetMaterialUIPath() method isn't working as it should. Are you able to insert:

Debug.Log(materialUiDirectories[i]);

in the for loop, just before the 'if(Directory.Exists..." part, and show me what it prints?

Do you have the MaterialUI folder within another folder in the project?

it looks looks like materialUIDirectories is returning an empty array.

I do have MaterialUI within another folder. I like to group packages in the assets folder under a UnityPackages folder

Try turning this line (just above that 'if(Directory.Exists..." line):

string[] materialUiDirectories = Directory.GetDirectories(Application.dataPath, "MaterialUI");

into this:

string[] materialUiDirectories = Directory.GetDirectories(Application.dataPath, "MaterialUI", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

and let me know if that helps :)

The issue was that the author moved the MaterialUI folder inside another folder. And here's the fix:

Try turning this line (just above that 'if(Directory.Exists..." line):

string[] materialUiDirectories = Directory.GetDirectories(Application.dataPath, "MaterialUI");

into this:

string[] materialUiDirectories = Directory.GetDirectories(Application.dataPath, "MaterialUI", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

and let me know if that helps :)

We had the same issue. Do you wanna incorporate the fix into the main code stream?
