Official Cloud Code JS Authoring tool from the Editor - Officially Released!

Welcome to the Cloud Code JS Authoring tool from the Editor discussion thread. You can use this thread to ask for help, share feedback and have discussions about the com.unity.services.cloudcode@2.1.1 package and the new feature enabled by the com.unity.services.deployment@1.0.0. This is the next step from our previous pre-release announcement.

Introduction

Introducing a new feature to Cloud Code to author it more easily! We are happy to bring all of the workflows you use on the Unity Dashboard to the Unity Editor!

With Cloud Code Authoring you do not have to leave the Unity Editor more than you need to, it allows you to:

• Author and modify the Cloud Code JS scripts in the Editor.
• Use the source control of your choice as a source of truth.
• Deploy your assets from the Editor manually or by simply entering Play Mode!
• Increment faster!

To get started please follow Script authoring within the Unity Editor.

Note: This feature is also available for Remote Config.

Requirements

• This feature is only available Unity Editor 2021.3+
• To use this feature you need to get the com.unity.services.deployment@1.0.0 package and the com.unity.services.cloudcode@2.1.1.

Feedback

At Unity, we put the Users First so your feedback is extremely valuable to us. Please share your feedback in this thread so that we can continue improving our tools for you!

How to report bugs

Ideally we'd like any bugs reported through the built in bug reporter tool, as that will automatically provide us with some relevant context.

Once you have submitted a bug report through the bug reporter, please feel free to start a discussion about it in this thread.

Thank you for your interest, we're looking forward to your feedback!

 

Hi Spinaljack,

What extension do they have?

Can you try right clicking on those assets, and reloading them? Reloading assets is necessary for them to be recognized as part of the deployment window.

Restart the editor and let me know if the assets remain in the window, if not we'll create a ticket and investigate more deeply.

Cheers!

 

Hey Spinaljack,

The scripts should stay in the list. When you say it is blank, do you mean fully empty or is there a warning/other message this is displayed? Also have you by any chance reset the scripts meta files between reimport and it going blank?

 

Would you mind posting a screenshot?

 

Hey Spinaljack,

Just wanted to let you know that we have identified the bug that you are experiencing. We will be working quickly to fix the issue as this is not intended behavior. We will let you know as soon as a fix is available.

 

For this, you can declare directly within your script, following these guidelines: https://docs.unity.com/cloud-code/e...ripts-editor#Declare_parameters_in_the_script

Make sure to initialize the JS Project first:

In the Unity Editor, select Edit > Preferences… > Cloud Code > "Initialize JS Project"

Referencing here the quick example in-script:

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. module.exports = async ({ params, context, logger }) => {
3.     return {
4.         "value": params["aParam"]
5.     };
6. };
7.  
8. module.exports.params = { "aParam" : { "type": "String", "required": true } }
9.  

 

Hey Spinaljack,

I am happy to say that we have been able to find and fix the bug that you encountered. Thanks again for reporting this. If you update your packages:

Deployment: 1.0.1
Cloud Code: 2.3.2

You should notice that the files are now always visible in the deployment window. Please give it a try and let us know if this works for you.
