compatibility with Unity about c5

[ondfisk]

Can you provide some more context. Are you using the latest 3.0-beta?
No one on the team has any skills in Unity. Can you share a sample project which shows the issue?

actually I used an older version and it works fine. Thanks. I believe it stopped being compatible in February when:

• Retarget to .NET Standard 2.0 only

According to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard, Unity should be fine with .NET Standard 2.0.

I can confirm that C5 throws "999+" errors, at that changing to a commit vaguely around February fixes it. To reproduce: download Unity; start a new project; clone C5 into Assets folder; wait for Unity to automatically compile; check in-engine console for errors. I'm not proficient enough in C# to comment on the why.

@Ryan-M3 dumping the .cs files directly in Unity will not work as C5 compiles using C# 8.0.
It is targetting .NET Standard 2.0 which Unity supports.
Can you get the NuGet package instead?
I read somewhere that you could use https://github.com/GlitchEnzo/NuGetForUnity and then use https://www.nuget.org/packages/C5/3.0.0-beta

Worked like a charm. The only gotcha was that I had to make sure I clicked "include pre-release" in order to get the exact version you specified. Using an older version led me to waste a little time troubleshooting my own error. :)

Great.
Will close the issue then.
We will hopefully be able to release a 3.0 version without pre very soon.
