Question Enable debug symbols for Shader Graph

Hi,

I am wondering is there a way to enable the debug symbols for shaders generated with shadergraph? You know like adding the "#pragma enable_d3d11_debug_symbols" to the shader file. The way I had to do it now was to copy the generated shader and add the pragma manually. Then change the material to use the debug shader. Which is a lot of steps just to debug it.

If there is no setting to do this. Can I intercept the generated shader and from code automatically add the pragma?

Thanks

I managed to figure out a hackish way to do this. I can add the "#pragma enable_d3d11_debug_symbols" in the common.hlsl include, so it gets added to the generated shader.

Code (CSharp):

1. #ifdef _DEBUG_SYMBOLS
2.     #pragma enable_d3d11_debug_symbols
3. #endif

Then add a keyword called _DEBUG_SYMBOLS to the shader graph I want debug symbols on.


Need to add the code in two common.hlsl because the local one will be replaced with the default when Unity detects changes in the file.

Wow！Thanks for your solution！
