Forcing a Unity recompile.

[Coldaine]

Has anyone found a good way to automate this? I know all I need to do is click back into the editor, but sometimes I start a task and I walk away and I want the recompile to be done by the time I get back. So has anyone successfully found a good workflow to have the MCP recompile Unity after it's made changes to the C#?

@Coldaine Hiya, we have this in our queue. Should be done soon. See: #240

[Coldaine]

Love this thank you. Would be a killer feature, can't wait to see how you are going to implement.

As of latest release 3.2.2 Any time manage-script makes an edit, or creates a new file, it should now automatically compile and reload with unity in the background / not in focus. This should take care of most compiling needs. Let us know if that sounds good.

I will happily test. Though I will likely fork and turn it into an explicit tool call, my current workflow I use morph apply to touch the scripts generally. Thank you very much.

Thanks, if you do, feel free to turn it into a PR. All the logic for triggering a recompile / reload is in ManageScript.cs and the python tool callers that call it. The hard part was figuring it out — should be easy to extract that or replicate it for the reload -only tool. (Compiling isn’t enough, unity actually needs to reload its domain So the assembly from the compiled files are activated — that’s what that classic progress bar is in unity).
