Unity3D ignores the System.Obsolete attribute

even when error flag is set to True. No warning, no error - just empty console after I recompiled the code, where my component class is attributed with System.Obsolete. Why? How to fix that?

 

Can you show the corresponding code?

 

Sure, here it is

Code (CSharp):

1.     [System.Obsolete("Prototype code for adjusting camera look, should not used in production.", true)]
2.     public class CameraLook : MonoBehaviour
3.     {
4.         // some code here...
5.     }
6.  

 

Hmmm... And how does the code look that tries to use your obsolete CameraLook class? Can you prepare a small unity project that I can test on my own pc?

 

It is used as camera component. It is as simple as calling to transform.LookAt in LateUpdate. No code using it exists in other components. I understand what compiler will only fire a warning or error if the obsolete piece of code is used somewhere else in codebase and it is not. I would like to know why Unity itself ignores the obsolete attribute. I expected a warning about obsolete component used or even a error if flag is set. But nothing happened.

 

Just to check, have you toggled off warnings in the console?

 

No, the flag is on. I tried setting error flag of the attribute to True, as you can see in the example above, still nothing.

 

No i dont mean the flag, i mean the console itself has toggles

 

I got that Yes, it is always on for me. I do not tolerate warnings in my code.

 

Ok, I think you're just expecting something to happen that never will.

The following works:

Code (CSharp):

1. //Obsolete monobehaviour
2. [System.Obsolete( "Dont use component" )]
3. public class ObsoleteClass : MonoBehaviour {
4.   ///...
5. }
6.  
7.  
8. //Some other class that has code to use obsolete class
9. public class ClassAdder: MonoBehaviour {
10.     void OnGUI () {
11.         if ( GUILayout.Button( "Add it" ) ) {
12.             gameObject.AddComponent<ObsoleteClass>();
13.             //When compiled, this gives the obsolete warning
14.         }
15.     }
16. }
17.
