Warning on project initialization: Property not found: mono/editor/editor_path_optional

[MirrasHue]

Godot version: 3.2.1-stable_mono_win64

OS/device including version: Win10 1909

Issue description: Godot is trying to find a property, but it is failing to do so

Steps to reproduce: Just edit a project

editor/editor_settings.cpp:151 - EditorSettings::_get - Property not found: mono/editor/editor_path_optional

Minimal reproduction project: Sorry, I didn't get this field's gist

editor_path_optional looks like an optional path to an editor for you to edit C# code. This doesn't look like a problem.

Please provide a minimal reproduction project. I edit projects all the time and don't have this issue.

[MirrasHue]

Trying to get rid of this warning, I cleaned all godot files, even those from appdata. I'll remove them again and download 3.2 to see if the warning persist, then I'll come back to update you.

[MirrasHue]

Oh, nothing appeared in 3.2. Regarding what our friend Ricardo said, seems not to be the case, in 3.2.1 I had already chosen vscode as the default editor for c#, and now back in 3.2 this wasn't necessary.

[MirrasHue]

I tested it out on my college's pc, unfortunately the same warning was showing up.

[MirrasHue]

Should I close this?

[aaronfranke]

Feel free to continue the discussion, specifically if you find a reliable way to reproduce it. You should also test on Linux to see if it's an OS-specific issue.

[MirrasHue]

Sorry, I thought that it was clear that there's simply nothing to reproduce it, I just open a project and the warning is there. Have a good day.

[MirrasHue]

But it's not harmful to the workflow, just odd to occur every time.

[akien-mga]

You can remove your %APPDATA%/Godot/editor_settings-3.tres to fix it (or just remove the line setting this invalid option).

[akien-mga]

Actually it's probably related to f0b63b4, CC @van800.

[van800]

Hm. I can't reproduce it, even if mono/editor/editor_path_optional is not initialized in settings. Ah, might be windows-only issue. I can't start Rider on Windows machine remotely, so I might not be able to reproduce and fix.

@neikeq As far as I understand, managed stacktraces are not printed to GD output together with unmanaged exception. Is it printed elsewhere maybe?

[van800]

@MirrasHue Do you use Rider?

[MirrasHue]

@van800 No, I use vscode

@akien-mga Is this a regression? In 3.2 this doesn't happen.
And I removed that setting from %appdata%, nothing changed.

I wonder if everybody in this issue is using the mono version.

[van800]

Reproduced. I hope to have a fix shortly.

[akien-mga]

@MirrasHue It was a regression from f0b63b4, but it's harmless. It's just that it could now happen that the MSBuild detection code queries this Rider-specific parameter, which may not be defined if you didn't configure Godot to work with Rider. #37210 fixes it.

[MirrasHue]

@van800 Oh, now I see, when we select Rider a new option appear, but for vscode it doesn't.

Unlike 3.2, 3.2.1 can't figure out the path automatically, so that's why this 'mono/editor/editor_path_optional' is not in my 'editor_settings-3.tres'.

[MirrasHue]

After switching back the External Editor to vscode, the Editor Path Optional property kept there, so I put the absolute path to Code.exe and seems to work just fine, no more warnings.
