Description

PlayMode runs through run_tests turn on Enter Play Mode Options with domain reload disabled, then restore the original values when the run ends, but only in memory. The Test Framework calls AssetDatabase.SaveAssets() early in the run (CreateBootstrapSceneTask), after the options were switched, so the temporary values are written to ProjectSettings/EditorSettings.asset and stay there. In my project (2022.3.62f3, v10.3.0) every MCP PlayMode run left m_EnterPlayModeOptionsEnabled: 1 in the git diff. This is the "additional side effect" mentioned in #1322.

This patches the two keys in EditorSettings.asset back to their original values if they still hold the temporary ones. It runs after a normal run and when PlayModeOptionsGuard recovers an interrupted one.

I didn't use AssetDatabase.SaveAssets() for the restore. It runs after RunFinished, which comes before the Test Framework resets the Application.runInBackground = true it sets in PreparePlayModeRunTask. Saving at that point writes runInBackground: 1 into ProjectSettings.asset. SaveAssetIfDirty and ForceReserializeAssets don't write project settings files, and InternalEditorUtility.SaveToSerializedFileAndForget rejects persistent objects.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • Test update

Changes Made

  • MCPForUnity/Editor/Services/TestRunnerService.cs: PlayModeOptionsGuard.RevertSettingsFile rewrites m_EnterPlayModeOptionsEnabled and m_EnterPlayModeOptions when they still hold the temporary values. It is called from RestoreEnterPlayModeOptions and PlayModeOptionsGuard.Restore.
  • TestProjects/UnityMCPTests/Assets/Tests/EditMode/Services/PlayModeOptionsGuardSettingsFileTests.cs: four cases for the rewrite. A fifth sets the temporary values, calls SaveAssets() the way CreateBootstrapSceneTask does, then calls Restore() and checks the file.

Compatibility / Package Source

  • Unity version(s) tested: 2022.3.62f3 on Windows
  • Package source used: branched from beta (308efc0), tested with the file: package in TestProjects/UnityMCPTests
  • Resolved commit hash: n/a

Testing/Screenshots/Recordings

  • Unity EditMode tests
  • Package import/compile check

MCPForUnityTests.Editor.Services on 2022.3.62f3 in batch mode: 271 passed, 3 skipped, 0 failed. The skipped ones are the stdio bridge tests, which skip themselves when the bridge isn't running. With the call in Restore() removed, the last new test fails because the file still has m_EnterPlayModeOptionsEnabled: 1. tools/compile-check.sh passes for 2022.3.62f3 (win).

I also ran the same sequence in a scratch 2022.3 project. The patched file was byte-identical to what SaveAssets() writes for the restored values, and runInBackground stayed 0 on disk.

Not run: Python tests (no server changes), PlayMode tests, other Unity versions.

Relates to #1322

Additional Notes

If project settings are serialized as binary, the patterns don't match and nothing is written, same as before.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Play Mode settings are restored after a test run, including when temporary settings have been saved to the project. Settings that weren’t changed temporarily remain untouched, and existing file formatting is preserved. This prevents test runs from leaving unintended settings behind.

The Test Framework saves assets at the start of a PlayMode run, after the
options were switched, so restoring them only in memory left
m_EnterPlayModeOptionsEnabled: 1 on disk. Patch the two keys back when they
still hold the temporary values. SaveAssets() isn't used because it would also
write the test runner's temporary runInBackground.

📝 Walkthrough

PlayModeOptionsGuard now restores matching temporary Play Mode values in EditorSettings.asset during interrupted-run recovery and normal restoration. Edit-mode tests cover restoration conditions, line endings, and disk and editor state.

Changes: Play Mode settings restoration

The guard restores matching temporary settings in EditorSettings.asset during recovery and normal restoration. Tests cover both values, options-only restoration, unchanged values, preserved line endings, and persisted restoration.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 85dec

If rewriting EditorSettings.asset fails after a test run, the temporary Play Mode options can stay on disk until the next project save corrects them. This affects only an uncommon failure path and is unlikely to block the merge.

- Line 101: Update RevertSettingsFile to avoid truncating EditorSettings.asset
during restoration or recovery: write the revised contents to a temporary file
in the same directory, then use File.Replace to atomically replace the original.
Clean up the temporary file afterward, while preserving the existing
recovery-state behavior.
- Around line 104-107: Update PlayModeOptionsGuard.RevertSettingsFile to report
success: treat missing files and already-restored settings as success, and
return failure for other read or write errors instead of relying on File.Exists.
Update both callers to clear SessionState and delete the marker only when
restoration succeeds, preserving recovery state for a later retry after failure.
