Can't run in debugger... crossdomain policy error

[ericheimburg]

When I try to run my app through the debugger (in Unity 3), I get connection failure messages about missing crossdomain.xml.

But there IS a crossdomain.xml file. When I run the app in a browser, it works fine. And it works fine normally in the IDE.

I have the field under Unity->Project Settings->Editor "WWW Security Emulation settings" set to http://localhost/. I can confirm that http://localhost/crossdomain.xml exists.

Can you instruct me how to get the system to connect under the debugger?

Here's the exception:

Code: Select all

On Connection callback got: False (error : <General exception on connection: Unable to connect, as no valid crossdomain policy was found   at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect_internal (IntPtr sock, System.Net.SocketAddress sa, System.Int32& error, Boolean requireSocketPolicyFile) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Quick answer is - I dont know.

The cross domain policy stuff is all Unity, and I do not know how it works when run in debug mode. Sorry.

Are you able to run SFS2X clients in the debugger yourself? Is anybody?

I don't know if this is something I can fix by randomly fiddling with my code or not.

[ThomasLund]

Never use(d) the debugger - so I am not the best to try to answer that question.

Try to change platfrom :

in: File/Build Settings/
Click on "PC and Mac standalone"
"Switch platform" button

It correct this problem for me...

I don't know why ^.^

I added this bit of code before any connection attempt:
(this is in unityscript not .Net, but should be available in .Net as well)

Code: Select all

   if(Application.isWebPlayer || Application.isEditor){
      Security.PrefetchSocketPolicy(sfs2xIP, sfs2xPort);
   }


This works for me running in the editor whether I have the platform as web player or standalone. It also lets my standalone builds run without editing code as well.
