This is a cherry-pick of
ced77b1e9b
with several 3.2 specific alterations.
There are a lot of build issues coming from
old style projects. At this point fixing every
single one of those would require adding patch
after patch to the project file, which is a
considerable amount work and makes the csproj
even more bloated than it already is.
As such I decided this effort would be better
spent back-porting the Sdk style support that's
already available in 4.0-dev to the 3.2 branch.
This will prevent many issues, but it will also
introduce other benefits, among them:
- While target framework stays as .NET Framework
v4.7.2, it can be changed to .NET Standard 2.0
or greater if desired.
- It makes it much easier to add future patches.
They are added to Godot.NET.Sdk and the only
change required in Godot code is to update the
Sdk version to use.
- Default Godot define constants are also
backported, which fixes IDE issues with the
preprocessor.
There are a few differences in the changes
applied during patching of the csproj compared
to 4.0 with the purpose of preventing breaking
builds:
- 'TargetFramework' stays net472 both for new
projects and when importing old ones. It can
be manually changed to netstandard 2.0+ if
desired though.
The following features are enabled by default for
new projects. Enabling them in imported projects
may result in errors that must be fixed manually:
- 'EnableDefaultCompileItems' is disabled as it
can result in undesired C# source files being
included. Existing include items are kept.
As long as 'EnableDefaultCompileItems' remains
disabled, Godot will continue taking care of
adding and removing C# files to the csproj.
- 'GenerateAssemblyInfo' is disabled as it
guarantees a build error because of conflicts
between the existing 'AssemblyInfo.cs' and the
auto-generated one.
- 'Deterministic' is disabled because it doesn't
like wildcards in the assembly version (1.0.*)
that was in the old 'AssemblyInfo.cs'.
Of importance:
This is a breaking change. A great effort was
put in avoiding build errors after upgrading a
project, but there may still be exceptions.
This also breaks forward compatibility. Projects
opened with Godot 3.2.3 won't work out of the box
with older Godot versions. This was already the
case with changes introduced in 3.2.2.
Albeit C# support in 3.2.x was still labeled as
alpha, we've been trying to treat it as stable
for some time. Still the amount of problems this
change solves justifies it, but no more changes
that break project compatibility are to be
introduced from now on (at least for 3.x).
This upgrade is needed in order to support
reading and editing project files that use Sdks
as well as other new features. A common example
in 3.2 is having to specify a PackageReference
version with a child element rather than the
attribute. This is no longer the case now.
Partial cherry-pick of f3bcd5f8dd
Most of the other changes from that commit were already partially
cherry-picked in 3928fe200f.
Not sure if we should check revision too, but this is good enough for what we want.
This will be needed to load the correct Microsoft.Build when we switch to the nuget version.
Manual cherry-pick of af4acb5b11 (relevant parts)
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.
Simple fix for #38627. iOS (#20268) and HTML5 (#20270) removed from list of exceptions
for platforms supported in warning message.
(cherry picked from commit 3d03be7a56)
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.
- Make GodotTools output directly to the SCons output directory.
- Removed xbuild_fallback from the build system.
(cherry picked from commit b61ffef0ab)
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.
(cherry picked from commit 81f13f6171)
- 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.
(cherry picked from commit 71fc87e101)
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.
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.
Commit 4d727f1ee6 made it possible for vararg
methods to return void. This broke the C# bindings generator which was
assuming in one place that vararg methods always return Variant.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
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.
