This looks to me like relative paths aren’t being handled correctly in EditorUtils.cs and if Unity internally changed how the CWD is set, this seems like risky code? (lines 90-115).
I’m currently on Unity 6000.2.4f1 using FMod for Unity 2.03.08. I’m on Linux (Ubuntu).
My source type is set to “Single Platform Build” and the Build Path is “FMod/AOR/Build/Desktop”
We keep our fmod banks in source control, but outside of the Assets directory, so that path is relative to the base Unity project folder. This worked up and until Unity 6000.2.3f1 when we started to see the path being appended in weird ways. See below where the path is appended to an unrelated path. I don’t know where that’s coming from. As far as I can tell, nothing else changed that would cause this kind of behavior.
I’m not convinced this is an fmod issue, exactly, but haven’t been able to find anything in Unity’s changelists that suggested something with path resolution changed. I’ve seen other plugins act similarly oddly. I’m on Linux, so maybe there’s some issue with that platform, but its not just on my dev machine, but other dev’s machines (also linux) with the same issue).

I figured out the problem. Unity installed the collab package by default. This is the package that drives unity’s source control interface. This package will appear on Linux even though it isn’t supported. It seems to instrument a large number of file system interactions, maybe to check if files should be checked out in source control (plastic). Around the same time that 6.2.3 came out, this package also got updated. In that update, it completely broke on linux and was causing these problems. I had ignored the package in the past, but disabling it resolved the problems.
