Can I test the compilation of C# code in "Player" mode, without doing a full project build

I currently have a working CI setup with Unity, but i am looking for a fast way to check if there are any C# compile errors before actually doing a full build of the project. I want to use this check to quickly report on the status of a broken commit on a master/production branch.

Currently, the only way i have found to do this is by launching a full build of the project. In case there is a compiler error, this fails fast, but in the other case i have to wait the full time of the build before the unity commandline runner returns the success result.

I would like to have a way to just compile the C# code with the correct #ifdefs for building a player, so i can quickly see if there are compiler errors in the code.

Is there a way i can do this?

 

did you ever find a solution?

I'd like to be able to test for build compilation errors as well -- without kicking off an entire build.

 

One way I've done it in the past is if your project is using addressables is to build the addressables. Its typically has been shorter than doing a build but if you have a lot assets and aren't building regularly this could take awhile.
