Could Build support?
Hi,
sorry for asking here as it is not really an issue (didn't know where else to do it): does Projeny-based project support Unity Cloud Build service?
I can't say I've used Unity Cloud build but I strongly suspect that it isn't compatible. This is because before doing your unity build, you would need to initialize the project using projeny, and so you'd have to run a custom script outside Unity, which probably isn't supported by the cloud build.
I've been trying to think of ways Cloud Build support could work. I'm thinking there could be something possible using the Pre-Export method.
The fully-qualified name of a public static method you want us to call before we start the Unity build process. For example: ClassName.NeatMethod or NameSpace.ClassName.NeatMethod. No trailing parenthesis, and it can't have the same name as your Post-Export method!
Perhaps Projeny could generate a Unity project that includes only Projeny, and is checked into version control. Cloud Build could build this project and run some pre-export method that Projeny offers, which goes and sets up all the symlinks as necessary.
I have no idea if this is actually feasible within Unity Cloud Build. Some things that could go wrong are not being able to call any Projeny executables (Python?_, not being able to create symlinks, not knowing what platforms to build, and likely more.
Just brainstorming some thoughts here, as I do miss Cloud Build. The benefits of using Projeny outweigh the loss of Cloud Build, but a world with both would be great. I may take a stab at it to see if it is possible or not.
Yeah, I'm not sure how this would work either. I wonder if you are even allowed to access the file system and create sym links etc. from C#.
Perhaps Projeny includes an option of doing a hard copy rather than symlinking. It wouldn't need to be used in general cases, but Cloud Build could use it to assemble the project at build time.
