Question Get build number

Is there a way to get the build number on compile time? I'm thinking in showing on internal builds to differentiate them

 

Yes, the cloud build automatically generates a 'cloud manifest' file and adds it to your build. Here's some documentation on that: https://docs.unity3d.com/560/Documentation/Manual/UnityCloudBuildManifest.html

Here's some example code I wrote to display it on a GUI canvas, you will probably have to tweak it to work with your requirements:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using MiniJSON;
5.  
6. using TMPro;
7.  
8. public class versionNumber : MonoBehaviour
9. {
10.     [SerializeField]
11.     private TextMeshProUGUI _text = null;
12.  
13.     private void OnEnable()
14.     {
15.         if (_text != null)
16.         {
17.             var manifest = (TextAsset)Resources.Load("UnityCloudBuildManifest.json");
18.             if (manifest != null)
19.             {
20.                 var manifestDict = Json.Deserialize(manifest.text) as Dictionary<string, object>;
21.  
22.                 string target = string.Empty;
23.                 string build = string.Empty;
24.                 string commit = string.Empty;
25.  
26.                 if (manifestDict["cloudBuildTargetName"] != null)
27.                 {
28.                     target = manifestDict["cloudBuildTargetName"].ToString();
29.                 }
30.  
31.                 if (manifestDict["buildNumber"] != null)
32.                 {
33.                     build = manifestDict["buildNumber"].ToString();
34.                 }
35.  
36.                 if (manifestDict["scmCommitId"] != null)
37.                 {
38.                     commit = manifestDict["scmCommitId"].ToString();
39.                 }
40.  
41.                 _text.SetText(string.Format("{0} 0.{1}.{2}", target, build, commit));
42.             }
43.             else
44.             {
45.                 if (Application.isEditor)
46.                 {
47.                     _text.enabled = false;
48.                 }
49.                 else
50.                 {
51.                     _text.SetText(string.Format("Editor build"));
52.                 }
53.             }
54.         }
55.  
56.     }
57. }
58.  

Here is another link I found on github that is probably more up to date (and doesn't require MiniJSON)

https://github.com/RosaryMala/armok...15c3bb500/Assets/Plugins/BuildManifest.cs#L24

 

This exact solution did not worked for me, because for some odd reason the json solutions that I tried (Unity's one and DOTNet) did not parsed correctly even tho the text seemed fine.

But, this link that you sent gave me the insight, its a little bit outdated (https://docs.unity.com/devops/en/manual/build-automation/environment-variables this one is newer), and I got it at compile time. Thank you!
