Question [Unity.Build] Enable Deep Profiling in Build Configuration

When using the new build configuration system (Unity.Build), how do you enable deep profiling?

ClassicBuildCustomizer.ProvideBuildOptions does not take BuildOptions.EnableDeepProfilingSupport into account:

Code (CSharp):

1.         public override BuildOptions ProvideBuildOptions()
2.         {
3.             var options = BuildOptions.None;
4.  
5.             // Build options from build type
6.             if (Context.TryGetComponent<ClassicBuildProfile>(out var profile))
7.             {
8.                 switch (profile.Configuration)
9.                 {
10.                     case BuildType.Debug:
11.                         options |= BuildOptions.AllowDebugging | BuildOptions.Development;
12.                         break;
13.                     case BuildType.Develop:
14.                         options |= BuildOptions.Development;
15.                         break;
16.                 }
17.             }
18.  
19.             // Build options from components
20.             if (Context.HasComponent<AutoRunPlayer>())
21.                 options |= BuildOptions.AutoRunPlayer;
22. // DOTS-5792
23. #pragma warning disable 618
24.             if (Context.HasComponent<EnableHeadlessMode>())
25.                 options |= BuildOptions.EnableHeadlessMode;
26. #pragma warning restore 618
27.             if (Context.HasComponent<IncludeTestAssemblies>())
28.                 options |= BuildOptions.IncludeTestAssemblies;
29.             if (Context.HasComponent<InstallInBuildFolder>())
30.                 options |= BuildOptions.InstallInBuildFolder;
31.             if (Context.TryGetComponent<PlayerConnectionSettings>(out PlayerConnectionSettings value))
32.             {
33.                 if (value.Mode == PlayerConnectionInitiateMode.Connect)
34.                     options |= BuildOptions.ConnectToHost;
35.                 if (value.WaitForConnection)
36.                     options |= BuildOptions.WaitForPlayerConnection;
37.             }
38.  
39.             if (Context.HasComponent<EnableScriptDebugging>())
40.                 options |= BuildOptions.AllowDebugging;
41.             return options;
42.         }

 

A word of caution: the Platforms package isn't included as a dependency in the latest Entities preview, and Platforms in fact does not have a preview release that coincides with the rest of the Entities packages. You are currently able to build Entities projects normally through the Build Settings window or through the related scripting APIs, and the word on the street is that the Platforms package is being ditched in favor of having a common way to build Unity projects and not having to maintain two different pipelines.

 

Thanks for the heads-up, @Spy-Master. Which Entities version do you mean? We are currently on 1.0.0-exp.12 which does have the dependency. Is that not the latest version?

 

The current base Entities package is 1.0.0-pre.15. It only works on 2022.2.0f1 and above, and said editor is only installable via a direct unityhub:// deep link. Whenever 2022.2 comes out of beta, that package or some newer version will be the default to install / use.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it!
