TEXT 101 - NEED HELP - Building and Posting WEBGL - Nothing is being generated

[Peter_WG]

To whom it may concern… mostly me,

I completed the Text101 lecture and my game is built and works when I run it in Unity. However, when I go to build the game to upload, the new folder is created but there is nothing in it. I’ve tried throwing it into a few different places and I get the same result of nothing being in the file. Is this something to do with the scenes? I tried going back through the lectures and wasn’t able to troubleshoot this myself.

I’m running a Macbook Pro from 2017 and am running Catalina 10.15.5 and

Hi Peter,

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Save your build on your harddrive but not inside your project folder, on your Desktop or in a cloud.
2. Use English characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) only for your file and folder names.
3. Make sure that neither your firewall nor your antivirus program block Unity.

Did any of these help?

Hey Nina,

That worked! Funny enough I first put it in the project folder and realized the error of my ways, I then saved my build in a folder that was on the desktop and that still didn’t work. Figures it took extracting it a different file.

Appreciate the help, I was definitely feeling stuck.

It’s not obvious but the Desktop is a special folder managed by Windows. It might be that there are a few restrictions.
