Can I create prefab validation script?

[locus84]

For my company project, I created [Required] attribute.
And add a test for searching all serialized properties with that attribute are assigned in prefabs.
Maybe I can utilize saintsfield for similar purpose.(Maybe this is similar to OdinValidator)

Is there a way to create test for validating all validation attributes are met for a component or a serialized property?

Not yet. ATM I either can't give a instruction of how it can happen ...

But the plan is: #98 (comment), I quote:

Make an auto-runner for Required and auto-getters for scenes, a project, and for Addressable, with a config to allow specify assets to be checked also (I need this for my own project...)

So it'll be implemented in near feature (but no promise when tho...). Please stay tuned

Great to hear, but I think if the system has to meet various requirements for every project, it may be too much complicated. Just a utility function doing do job might be fine for me.

Thank you in advance.

The logic is here:

SaintsField/Editor/Drawers/RequiredAttributeDrawer.cs

Line 18 in 4702e0c

(string curError, int _, object curValue) = Util.GetValue(property, field, target);

So the logic is:

1. Read your target
2. Convert to a serialized target: using(var serTarget = new SerializedObect(yourTarget);
3. using reflection to get the FieldInfo which has the Required, also use FindProperty etc to get the SerializedProperty
4. Call (string curError, int _, object curValue) = SaintsField.Editor.Utils.Util.GetValue(property, field, target);
5. Call bool isOk = ReflectUtils.Truly(curValue)

Yeah, but there are many validation related attributes in SaintsField, like FieldType, ValidateInput, Min/MaxValue, RequireType and so on..., how's implement ITestable interface?(for example) for those attributes?

[TylerTemp]

Yeap, and auto getters. That's why I said "can't give an instruction of how it can happen"... it's a lot of tedious work and need to be made step by step. Auto Getters has a thing called "HelperArraySize" (yes, it was designed for array, I'm too lazy to change the name for that internal call) which can somewhat helping the validation. But most drawers does not have one like that. It requires some work

Hi,

the tool for Required is now added in 3.14.0 3.14.1 under Window - Saints - Auto Runner

Unity_mwFkGmDavX.mp4

More attributes support will be added later. Please stay tuned :)

Hi,

Though not all attribute's validation are added, now in 3.18.0 there is AutoRunnerWindowBase for easily validation which allows checking for:

1. Required
2. ValidateInput
3. auto getters
4. OnValidate() function in a script <--- I really need this...

AutoRunnerWindow is still the most featured component, but here's a simple code of how can AutoRunnerWindowBase be used to validate a folder (or some folders) of prefab:

public class AutoRunnerTemplate: AutoRunnerWindowBase
{
    // Omitted code...
    
    [GetByXPath("resources::/*.prefab")]  // any prefab in the resources folders
    [GetByXPath("assets::/Config/Heros/*.asset")]  // hero scriptable objects  
    public UnityEngine.Object[] extraResources;

    // return your assets here
    protected override IEnumerable<Object> GetExtraAssets() => extraResources;

    // Omitted code...

    [Ordered, Button("Run!")]
    private IEnumerator Run()
    {
        foreach (ProcessInfo info in RunAutoRunners())
        {
            // just some info
            Debug.Log(info);

            // avoid completely frozen the editor
            if(info.ProcessCount % 100 == 0)
            {
                yield return null;
            }
        }
    }

    // at last, show the auto running results.
    // ReSharper disable once UnusedMember.Global
    [Ordered, AutoRunnerWindowResults] public List<AutoRunnerResult> ShowResults => Results;

    // important! Clean the cached results and release the loaded resources when closing the window
    public override void OnEditorDestroy()
    {
        CleanUp();
    }
}
