Align Scene::write_to_world_with to match DynamicScene::write_to_world_with #13714

Objective

Scene and DynamicScene work with InstanceInfo at different levels of abstraction

  • Scene::write_to_world_with returns an InstanceInfo whereas DynamicScene::write_to_world_with returns (). Instances are created one level higher at the SceneSpawner API level.
  • DynamicScene::write_to_world_with takes the entity_map as an argument whereas the Scene version is less flexible and creates a new one for you. No reason this needs to be the case.

Solution

I propose changing Scene::write_to_world_with to match the API we have for DynamicScene. Returning the InstanceInfo as we do today just seems like a leaky abstraction - it's only used in spawn_sync_internal. Being able to pass in an entity_map gives you more flexibility with how you write entities to a world.

This also moves InstanceInfo out of Scene which is cleaner conceptually. If someone wants to work with instances then they should work with SceneSpawner - I see write_to_world_with as a lower-level API to be used with exclusive world access.

Testing

Code is just shifting things around.

Changelog

Changed Scene::write_to_world_with to take entity_map as an argument and no longer return an InstanceInfo

Migration Guide

Scene::write_to_world_with no longer returns an InstanceInfo.

Before

scene.write_to_world_with(world, &registry)

After

let mut entity_map = EntityHashMap::default();
scene.write_to_world_with(world, &mut entity_map, &registry)

It looks like your PR is a breaking change, but you didn't provide a migration guide.

Could you add some context on what users should update when this change get released in a new version of Bevy?
It will be used to help writing the migration guide for the version. Putting it after a ## Migration Guide will help it get automatically picked up by our tooling.

At some point it might make sense to use a trait to capture the API of these two types like we do in bevy_color: their type signatures should generally line up.

@alice-i-cecile Any chance this makes it for 0.14? Or are things locked in place with the release candidate out now?

If you can convince others that this is relatively important, we will be able to cherrypick this up until 0.14.0 itself is released.

…orld_with` (#13714)

# Objective

`Scene` and `DynamicScene` work with `InstanceInfo` at different levels
of abstraction
- `Scene::write_to_world_with` returns an `InstanceInfo` whereas
`DynamicScene::write_to_world_with` returns `()`. Instances are created
one level higher at the `SceneSpawner` API level.
- `DynamicScene::write_to_world_with` takes the `entity_map` as an
argument whereas the `Scene` version is less flexible and creates a new
one for you. No reason this needs to be the case.

## Solution

I propose changing `Scene::write_to_world_with` to match the API we have
for `DynamicScene`. Returning the `InstanceInfo` as we do today just
seems like a leaky abstraction - it's only used in
`spawn_sync_internal`. Being able to pass in an entity_map gives you
more flexibility with how you write entities to a world.

This also moves `InstanceInfo` out of `Scene` which is cleaner
conceptually. If someone wants to work with instances then they should

This broke deferred_rendering among many other test cases. See #13796.
