Main benefits:
- Projects can be built offline. Previously you needed internet
access the first time building to download the packages.
- Changes to packages like Godot.NET.Sdk can be easily tested
before publishing. This was already possible but required
too many manual steps.
- First time builds are a bit faster, as the Sdk package doesn't
need to be downloaded. In practice, the package is very small
so it makes little difference.
Bumped Godot.NET.Sdk to 4.0.0-dev3 in order to enable the
recent changes regarding '.mono/' -> '.godot/mono/'.
- Removed item list that displayed multiple build
configurations launched. Now we only display
the last build that was launched.
- Display build output next to the issues list.
Its visibility can be toggled off/on.
This build output is obtained from the MSBuild
process rather than the MSBuild logger. As such
it displays some MSBuild fatal errors that
previously couldn't be displayed.
- Added a context menu to the issues list with
the option to copy the issue text.
- Replaced the 'Build Project' button in the panel
with a popup menu with the options:
- Build Solution
- Rebuild Solution
- Clean Solution
- The bottom panel button was renamed from 'Mono'
to 'MSBuild' and now display an error/warning icon
if the last build had issues.
Because `Strings OS_OSX::get_name() const` now returns "macOS" (15a9f94346)
The C# GodotTools were still using "OSX" as identifier a few things were borken (e.g. dotnet/msbuild detection).
When NormalizePath was called with an absolute
path (with drive letter) on Windows, it would
prepend a file path separator to the path, e.g.:
'\C:\Program Files\'.
Apparently this was still accepted as a valid
path by DotNetGlob and it stopped working when
we switched to MSBuildGlob.
MSBuild Item returns empty strings if an attribute isn't set (which
caused an IndexOutOfRangeException in NormalizePath).
We were treating Excludes incorrectly, Remove directives provide the
intended behaviour in the auto-including csproj format.
The editor wasn't clearing the debugger agent
settings properly after a processing a play
request from an IDE. This caused consequent play
attempts to fail if not launched from the IDE,
as the game would still attempt and fail to
connect to the debugger.
The concrete cause: Forgetting to clear the
`GODOT_MONO_DEBUGGER_AGENT` environment variable.
Godot.NET.Sdk
-------------
Godot uses its own custom MSBuild Sdk for game
projects. This new Sdk adds its own functionality
on top of 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk'.
The new Sdk is resolved from the NuGet package.
All the default boilerplate was moved from game
projects to the Sdk. The default csproj for
game project can now be as simple as:
```
<Project Sdk="Godot.NET.Sdk/4.0.0-dev2">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netstandard2.1</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
```
Source files are included by automatically so
Godot no longer needs to keep the csproj in sync
when creating new source files.
Define constants
----------------
Godot defines a list of constants for conditional
compilation. When exporting games, this list also
included engine 'features' and platform 'bits'.
There were a few problems with that:
- The 'features' constants were only defined when
exporting games. Not when building the game for
running in the editor player.
- If the project was built externally by an IDE,
the constants wouldn't be defined at all.
The new Sdk assigns default values to these
constants when not built from the Godot editor,
i.e.: when built from an IDE or from the command
line. The default define constants are determined
from the system MSBuild is running on.
However, it's not possible for MSBuild to
determine the set of supported engine features.
It's also not possible to determine if a project
is being built to run on a 32-bit or 64-bit
Godot executable.
As such the 'features' and 'bits' constants had
to be removed.
The benefit of checking those at compile time
was questionable, and they can still be checked
at runtime.
The new list of define constants includes:
- GODOT
- GODOT_<PLATFORM>
Defaults to the platform MSBuild is running on.
- GODOT_<PC/MOBILE/WEB>
- TOOLS
When building with the 'Debug' configuration
(editor and editor player).
- GODOT_REAL_T_IS_DOUBLE
Not defined by default unless $(GodotRealTIsDouble)
is overriden to be 'true'.
.NET Standard
-------------
The target framework of game projects was changed
to 'netstandard2.1'.
Sometimes Visual Studio documents have the root path all in upper case.
Since Godot doesn't support loading resource files with a case insensitive path,
this makes script resource loading to fail when the Godot editor gets code
completion requests from Visual Studio.
This fix allows the resource path part of the path to be case insensitive. It
still doesn't support cases where the rest of the path is also case insensitive.
For that we would need a proper API for comparing paths. However, this fix
should be enough for our current cases.
ToolButton has no redeeming differences with Button;
it's just a Button with the Flat property enabled by default.
Removing it avoids some confusion when creating GUIs.
Existing ToolButtons will be converted to Buttons, but the Flat
property won't be enabled automatically.
This closes https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/1081.
By adding a reference to the 'Microsoft.NETFramework.ReferenceAssemblies' nuget
package, we can build projects targeting .NET Framework with the dotnet CLI.
By referencing this package we also don't need to install Mono on Linux/macOS
or .NET Framework on Windows, as the assemblies are taken from the package.
This was a regression from 93d7ec8836 (#38110).
Mono's old implementation of Microsoft.Build hardcodes HasUnsavedChanges to
always return true.
This workaround can be reverted once we switch to official Microsoft.Build.
- Include PDB files in exported games.
- Release export templates also allow debugging now.
Right now the only way to enable debugging in exported games is with the environment variables, which may be cumbersome or not even possible on some platforms.
Right now, games only work on devices when exported with FullAOT+Interpreter.
There are some issues left that need to addressed for FullAOT alone. Right now,
it's giving issues with the Godot.NativeCalls static constructor.
- Travis: Change x11 to linuxbsd
- SCons: Change x11 plataform to linuxbsd
- Plugins: Remove ; to avoid fallthrough warning
- DisplayServerX11: Implement set_icon
- DisplayServerX11: Fix X11 bug when a window was erased from windows
map, all the changes from that erased windows are sending to the main
window
- DisplayServerX11: Reorder create_window commands
- DisplayServerX11: Change every Size2 to Size2i and Rect2 to Rect2i
where it belongs
+ More X11 fixes which have been integrated directly back into reduz's
original commits while rebasing the branch.
Implementation for new Variant types Callable, Signal, StringName.
Added support for PackedInt64Array and PackedFloat64Array.
Add generation of signal members as events, as well as support for
user created signals as events.
NOTE: As of now, raising such events will not emit the signal. As such,
one must use `EmitSignal` instead of raising the event directly.
Removed old ThreadLocal fallback class. It's safe to use thread_local now since
it's supported on all minimum versions of compilers we support.
As our script class parser is error prone, we should not impede the build from continuing because of a parsing error.
This should be reverted in the future once we switch to Roslyn.
Previously we had a placeholder solution called 'Managed' to benefit from
tooling while editing the a part of the C# API.
Later the bindings generator would create the final 'GodotSharp' solution
including these C# files as well as the auto-generated C# API.
Now we replaced the 'Managed' solution with the final 'GodotSharp' solution
which is no longer auto-generated, and the bindings generator only takes
care of the auto-generated C# API.
This has the following benefits:
- It's less confusing as there will no longer be two versions of the same file
(the original and a generated copy of it). Now there's only one.
- We no longer need placeholder for auto-generated API classes, like Node or
Resource. We used them for benefiting from tooling. Now we can just use the
auto-generated API itself.
- Simplifies the build system and bindings generator. Removed lot of code
that is not needed anymore.
Also added a post-build target to the GodotTools project to copy the output to
the data dir. This makes it easy to iterate when doing changes to GodotTools,
as SCons doesn't have to be executed anymore just to copy these new files.
MSBuild on Windows uses the system .NET Framework BCL instead of Mono's. Because
of this, it may not be able to find the Mono.Posix assembly, so it's better
not to depend on it. We needed Mono.Posix to call Syscall.access, so we can
replace this with an internal call that does the same in C++.
`Variant::operator String()` returns "Null" if the type is `Variant:NIL`.
We must consider that and return a null `MonoString*` instead when marshalling.
This was also causing a "Null" error to be displayed when exporting a game
because null string members would be set to "Null" during hot-reload.
d09193b08a introduced a regression in
StringExtensions.FindLast. StringExtensions.GetFile was also affected as it
relies on FindLast. This in turn broke the project exporter as it uses GetFile.
The cause of the regression is that now FindLast is calling LastIndexOf
with 'startIndex: 0'. This should be 'startIndex: str.Length - 1' instead.
Also fixed another regression in the project exporter:
de7c2ad21b moved 'GodotTools/GodotSharpExport.cs'
to 'GodotTools/Export/ExportPlugin.cs' and in doing so accidently reverted
the changes from commit e439581198.
- Added correct config file for android dllmaps.
- Fix __Internal DllImports with a dlopen fallback.
- Add missing P/Invoke functions and internal calls expected by the monodroid BCL and our custom version of the 'Android.Runtime.AndroidEnvironment' class (this last one can be found in the godot-mono-builds repo).
- Make sure to set 'btls' instead of 'legacy' as the default TLS provider on Android.
This was a wrong check as an exit code of 0 means success,
not failure. It used to be fine as blocking mode always returned
-2, but this was changed in #32033 to return the exit code.
Fixes#32424.
Assembly paths were written to PCK files with backslash as path separator and PackedData only supports forward slash.
This would make exported games unable to find the assemblies.
This will be used for communicating between the Godot editor and external IDEs/editors, for things like opening files, triggering hot-reload and running the game with a debugger attached.
Mono's MSBuild and System/VisualStudio's MSBuild expect a different format for surrounding property values with quotes on the command line.
xbuild does not seem to support semicolons in property values from the command line: https://xamarin.github.io/bugzilla-archives/16/16465/bug.html
It's a good time to just remove xbuild support entirely.
Remove the old API assembly invalidation system. It's pretty simple since now the editor has a hard dependency on the API assemblies and SCons takes care of prebuilding them.
If we fail to load a project's API assembly because it was either missing or outdated, we just copy the prebuilt assemblies to the project and try again. We also do this when creating the solution and before building, just in case the user removed them from the disk after they were loaded.
This way the API assemblies will be always loaded successfully. If they are not, it's a bug.
Also fixed:
- EditorDef was behaving like GlobalDef in GodotTools.
- NullReferenceException because we can't serialize System.WeakReference yet. Use Godot.WeakRef in the mean time.
We need to dispose the GodotSharpExport export plugin before the editor destroys EditorSettings. Otherwise, if the GC disposes it at a later time, EditorExportPlatformAndroid will be freed after EditorSettings already was, and its device polling thread will try to access the EditorSettings singleton, resulting in null dereferencing.
Make the build system automatically build the C# Api assemblies to be shipped with the editor.
Make the editor, editor player and debug export templates use Api assemblies built with debug symbols.
Always run MSBuild to build the editor tools and Api assemblies when building Godot.
Several bugs fixed related to assembly hot reloading and restoring state.
Fix StringExtensions internal calls not being registered correctly, resulting in MissingMethodException.
