"Build failed with errors" error when trying to build while a Build is already running
To reproduce:
1. Download attached project "New Unity Project.zip" and open in Unity
2. Build & Run the project.
3. Run application and while the application is running, Build & Run the project again.
Note: You get the following useless error message:
"UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+BuildMethodException: Build failed with errors.
at UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow+DefaultBuildMethods.BuildPlayer (BuildPlayerOptions options) [0x001b9] in C:\buildslave\unity\build\Editor\Mono\BuildPlayerWindowBuildMethods.cs:162
at UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow.CallBuildMethods (Boolean askForBuildLocation, BuildOptions defaultBuildOptions) [0x00050] in C:\buildslave\unity\build\Editor\Mono\BuildPlayerWindowBuildMethods.cs:83
UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow:BuildPlayerAndRun()"
Notes:
- This issue appears on Windows and OSX
- Obviously, the issue is that it's trying to overwrite files that are in use, but it needs to actually say that
- On Unity 5.6 it does not say anything
- On Unity 2017.3 in Console, it prints "Build completed with a result of 'Canceled'"
Reproduced on Unity 5.6.4p1, 2017.1.2p2, 2017.2.0p1, 2017.3.0b7 and 2018.1.0a2

It may make sense to "postpone" this issue... but, on the other hand, "Build completed with a result of 'Canceled'" is the message when the files are locked for any reason, and this is not a very helpful message for discovering that.
