[Bug] GvhProjectSettings.xml changes/resets itself

[ManuelRauber]

[REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

• Unity editor version: 2021.3.4f1
• External Dependency Manager version: 1.2.171
• Source you installed EDM4U: .unitypackage
• Features in External Dependency Manager in use: Android Resolver
• Platform you are using the Unity editor on: Mac

[REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

Sometimes, not really reproducible, the file GvhProjectSettings.xml changes/resets itself. This is super annoying, because the file pops up in the git stage:

As well as this dialogs pops up all the time

And as you can see from the diff file above, the settings get reset, e.g. I've disabled both auto-resolution on build and in editor and it will reset back to true, because that's the default.

I currently can not reproduce it exactly, when it happens. Sometimes it does not happen all day, sometimes it happens multiple times day.

Hi @ManuelRauber,

Could you provide the steps you've performed before facing this issue so that we can identify what's causing this behavior?

I have the same issue. I've just installed External Dependency Manager with one of SDKs and these things start to happen. Looks like it happens after recompilation but not after each one. Also sometimes after exiting playmode.

Hi @ManuelRauber,

Unfortunately, I can not answer this, because I simply use the Unity Editor.
Sometimes I just open it and then I see a change in git and the file has been written as shown in the first post.

Sometimes that does not happen, I have no clear way to reproduce this behavior.

Currently, I'm carefully looking whenever this change happens, but I've not found a clear way yet.

Having the exact same issue. Reset happens every few minutes.
Makes it very, very difficult to not accidentally commit the changed file (which breaks the build).

Hi folks,

Does disabling auto-resolution prevent this issue from happening? The Android Resolver automatically keeps track of the differentdependencies you have specified in your Unity project. The resolution process runs when the specified dependencies are not present in your project.
