These are some scripts here and there I tried in some CI. These are mainly to support a conversation in the following issue:
game-ci/unity-builder#82
These are some files shared by JesseTG which could also come handy if you intend to build unity things on a windows runner some day ✌️. Note: building from a windows runner can also build for different platforms such as macOS, Linux, etc.
github-actions-windows-jessetg/index.jsshould work onmacOSandLinuxrunners. But it's subject to Unity's technical constraints. 👍 This script was mainly written for Jessetg's needs:
- It's more geared towards self-hosted runners than the GitHub-hosted environment
- Some arguments are for Trimmer support; if you're not using Trimmer, simply don't use those flags
Once TG's project (and its accompanying infrastructure) is more battle-tested he intends to release (a better version of) this script in a more polished package. ❤
Yes, kind of, but some problems we may encounter with windows is the following issue:
https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/command-line-logfile-with-no-parameters-outputs-to-screen-on-os-x-but-not-on-windows
tldr; unity on windows doesn't support stdout properly so we endup with the need to do weird things like these:
- https://github.com/Unity-CI/unity3d-windows-build-scripts-drafts/blob/master/build-windows-git-bash.sh#L15-L18
- https://github.com/Unity-CI/unity3d-windows-build-scripts-drafts/blob/master/build-windows-git-bash.sh#L38-L39
It should work, but there's definitely place for improvement. You may not be able to get live output log out of your runner (github actions or gitlab-ci) when using a windows machine. If you ever find a solution to this, please let us know! 👀
I could have created a gist for these, but I think I still don't receive notifications out of gists and they're only repos with less features so here are some scripts.
