Spine 4.2 URP Shader prevents Unity 2022.3 Windows Build

Brut

{URP Build Error}

I didnt do anything other than install unity 2022.3.62 (newest subversion), download spine, add a spine model from a project that has the same issue and tried to make a windows build.

In the SampleScene, I have 2 models with the URP/Spine/Sprite shader and the URP/Spine/SkeletonLit shader, which seem to be broken after compilation. In editor they seems fine.

Minimal Example Project:
Brut-225/URP-Spine-Bug

(uses runtime 4.2, csharp 4.2 & urp 4.2)

Any help would be appreciated.

It seems like you are encountering an issue with the Spine URP shaders when building a project in Unity 2022.3. The problem might be related to the compatibility of the URP shaders with the specific Unity version you are using. The URP shaders for Spine 4.2 are compatible with Unity versions up to 2023.1, as per the spine-unity download page. However, there might be specific issues with newer subversions of Unity 2022.3 that are not yet addressed.

To resolve this, ensure that you are using the latest version of the Spine URP shaders and the spine-unity runtime. You can download the latest packages from the spine-unity download page. If the issue persists, consider testing with a slightly older version of Unity that is known to be compatible, such as Unity 2022.1 or 2022.2, to see if the problem is specific to Unity 2022.3.62.

Unity version 2022.2 has the same bug. Can be seen in the GIt Project in Branch v2022-2

@Brut Sorry to hear you're having troubles and thanks for providing the reproduction project up front.
Unity introduced additional unused but troublesome defines in latest URP 14.0 package for Unity 2022.3, causing wrong code path taken and wrong SAMPLE_GI macro argument count.

We have just pushed a bugfix for this issue to both 4.2 and 4.3-beta branches.
New Spine URP Shaders 4.2 and 4.3-beta packages are available for download:

Please let us know whether this resolves the issue on your end as well. Thanks for reporting!

The minimal project does build now, thanks for the fast fix!
There seems to be an issue with an undeclared "positionWS" in the Sprite Shader, which keeps our main project from building.

Will do another example project tomorrow if needed.
