The pipeline is not working because Unity does not seem to accept the license (same old, same old).

Documentation how to set up the license with the GitHub Actions can be found here: https://game.ci/docs/github/activation

Unfortunately, the instructions do not work. All secrets are in place, but the error remains.

Visit https://game.ci/docs/github/activation for more
details on how to set up one of the possible activation strategies.
Error: No valid license activation strategy could be determined. Make sure to provide UNITY_EMAIL, UNITY_PASSWORD, and either a UNITY_SERIAL or UNITY_LICENSE. Otherwise please use UNITY_LICENSING_SERVER.
Error: The process '/usr/bin/docker' failed with exit code 1

But UNITY_EMAIL, UNITY_PASSWORD, and UNITY_LICENSE have been set already.

It seems there are also others with this issue.
Unity seems to have changed the way how to activate a personal license.

Before, GameCI had an action to aquire a license request ( https://github.com/marketplace/actions/unity-request-activation-file ). But this is now deprecated

Please follow the updated activation steps for v4 and newer of Unity Actions.

But as I said, the instructions do not work.

• There is an open GitHub issue that suggests to forcibly do the old manual activation ( alf->ulf license activation no longer possible for personal licenses game-ci/documentation#408 )

  • Note that there is no official support from Unity. This workaround requires tinkering with Unity's website DOM to show hidden UI elements.

• There is a discussion on their Discord that also goes in the direction of doing the old activation

  • https://discord.com/channels/710946343828455455/1138586951604248666

I don't know how to proceed here.
Maybe asking the game-ci folks on Discord may help.

How I previously always got it to work: run the thing locally in a docker container, activate it, get the activation license file content, write that content into a github secret. and have the docker container write that secret into the required license file

Nevermind, I forgot to expose the new secrets UNITY_EMAIL and UNITY_PASSWORD to the GitHub Actions workflows.

Unity is building the project now, but it seems there are some issues. Will take a look soon.

For Ansis to be able to continue working, we decided to ignore the buidl pipeline requirement for now and merge anyways. Hope this is okay for you.
