Property BuildPath

BuildPath

The build path used by the Addressables system for its initialization data.

Declaration

public static string BuildPath { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String

Remarks

Addressables.BuildPath returns the path used by the Addressables system for its built initialization data. This path is to the Addressables folder in the Project Library folder for the active platform.This folder contains the settings, local catalog and addressables managed local asset bundles.

Examples

Gets the runtime settings from the buildPath and returns the Addressables package version that the content was built using.

      public string GetBuiltContentAddressablesVersion()
{
string settingsPath = Addressables.BuildPath + "/settings.json";
if (System.IO.File.Exists(settingsPath))
{
string json = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(settingsPath);
ResourceManagerRuntimeData activeRuntimeSettings =
    JsonUtility.FromJson<ResourceManagerRuntimeData>(json);
return activeRuntimeSettings.AddressablesVersion;
}
return null;
}

In this example we add a build pre-process hook. When building a player this throws an exception if the content has not been built. This could be useful when 'Build Addressables on Player Build' is not set in Addressables Settings.
