Question by ShadowUser19 · Aug 12, 2018 at 08:41 PM · assetspackagesupgrade

How can I fix Multiple plugins with the same name 'tmpro_plugin' error?

I Upgraded to the new 2018.2.2f1 (Mac) edition, but now I get the following error each time I open my project:


 Multiple plugins with the same name 'tmpro_`plugin' (found at 'Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro/Plugins/64 Bit Plugins/TMPro_Plugin.bundle' and 'Assets/TextMesh Pro/Plugins/64 Bit Plugins/TMPro_Plugin.bundle'). That means one or more plugins are set to be compatible with Editor. Only one plugin at the time can be used by Editor.`


Removing the first directory ('Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro/Plugins/64 Bit Plugins/TMPro_Plugin.bundle') seems to temporarily fix the issue until I reopen the project in which case Unity decides to recreate that directory again. The directory itself seems to be outside the project: /Users/[username]/Library/Unity/cache/packages/packages.unity.com/ & when I remove the other directory & add a new TextMeshPro object unity asks to add a TextMeshPro folder in my Assets directory so I don't understand how Unity can mix these two directories together.


I tried to look for similar questions but the only thing I could find was about multiple plugins within the same directory & the question wasn't even answered yet.


How can I fix this properly without having to throw files away each time I open my project?

I have tried to add new TextMeshPro objects in hope that it will solve the problem with the existing textmesh pro objects, but they are left blank & I am still forced to delete the textmeshpro directory Unity is creating each time.

I found a solution that works for me. The solution seemed very simple. All I had to do is remove the package using the package manager:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.package-manager-ui@1.8/manual/index.html

It seems somehow the existing TextMeshPro is not properly imported & the only way was to remove the other package from the package manager. That way the existing package remains untouched and unity will stop complaining about duplicate plugins.

Exact same error for me too. Deleting the files works while in the project but once I restart Unity I get the same errors again.
