I am trying to make GameObject.Find() work in batchmode but for some reason it returns a null object.
my code:
public class test: Monobehaviour {
public static GameObject go;
static void doing()
{
go = GameObject.Find ("testing");
}
}
//testing is the name of the gameobject in the editor
I call it from the console on mac using: /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -quit -batchmode -projectPath "" -executeMethod test.doing
When running in batchmode, Unity does not load the scene you normally see when opening the project in the editor. Thus, there are no GameObjects to find.
If you add using UnityEditor.SceneManagement;, you can use the SceneManager to open your scene, then continue as expected.
Assuming your scene file is under Assets/Scenes and named Main, and includes an object named TestObject:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.SceneManagement;
public class BatchTest : MonoBehaviour {
static void runTest() {
EditorSceneManager.OpenScene("Assets/Scenes/Main.unity");
GameObject go = GameObject.Find("TestObject");
...
}
}
To run this in batchmode, similar to your example, I run:
/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity -quit -batchmode -projectPath "/path/to/project" -executeMethod BatchTest.runTest -logfile
(-logfile with no specified logfile will output to console on Linux/Mac)
