Meshes cannot be read during import process when running in batch mode

--

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download the “BatchModeRO” project
2. Open Command Prompt window
3. Go to the Unity version folder (eg. cd c:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.4f1\Editor)
4. Run the command “-executeMethod ProcessThings.RunAsync -nographics -batchmode -logFile build.log -PROJECT_PATH” (instead of PROJECT_PATH write BatchModeRO project path. Eg. C:\Desktop\IN-22969_BatchModeRO-3\IN-22969_BatchModeRO-3. -- (minus) before the path is needed)
5. Open the “build.log” file in the Editor folder

Expected result: The “Rock_lg02” mesh was imported successfully
Actual result: Error "Not allowed to access uv on mesh 'Rock_lg02' (isReadable is false; Read/Write must be enabled in import settings)" occurs

Reproducible with: 2021.3.14f1, 2022.1.24f1, 2022.2.0f1, 2023.1.0a20
Could not test with: 2020.3.41f1 (Package error)

Reproduced on: Windows 10

Note: The error does not occur when Read/Write is enabled in import settings

  1. Resolution Note:

    The async work is picked up again inside the player loop, which also runs outside playmode. As a result the mesh UVs are accessed inside the player loop which rightfully throws an error that read/write should be enabled on the mesh.

    The issue can also be reproduced inside the editor although at a much lower rate. In batch mode the application does not spend time redrawing the inspector etc., so the chance of the work getting resumed inside the player loop tick is much higher.
