Whoever you are that logged the reproducibility list above, I need to offer sincere thanks. This is very amazingly.

This is blocking us here as well. Our editor script that builds the asset bundles even explicitly creates the destination folder before calling BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundles. We definitely need a fix for 2019.2 (which is not currently listed in the planned fixes), since 2019.3 is still only a "pre-release".

Also description says, that "The error appears if the asset bundle build path doesn't exist.", it's not true, cause we have error even if the folder exists.

Still not fixed in 2019.2.18!
We forced to downgrade to 2019.2.12, whitch is disgrace.

Also - this *isn't* fixed in 2019.3, so whichever misleading twit marked it fixed, next time check properly.

Whoever you are that logged the reproducibility list above, I need to offer sincere thanks. The list above led me to a downgrade that I would never have even thought to try (2019.2.17 -> 2019.2.12) which worked.

Unity need to take a long hard look at themselves if they want to be considered serious players with this kind of rubbish going on routinely. Between this and the "Blendshape Normals setting being ignored until 2019" error it's turning into a god damned minefield knowing which version to use.

Again thank you.
