Unity meta checker

A tool to check problems about meta files of Unity on Git repositories, and also the tool can do limited autofix for meta files of auto-generated files.

This tool can check the following problems:

Basic Usage

$ # Change the current directory to your Unity project or UPM package.
$ cd /path/to/unity/project

$ # Execute unity-meta-check (specifying -silent make that unity-meta-check only show results or fatal errors).
$ unity-meta-check -silent
missing: Assets/Not/Added.meta
missing: Packages/com.my.pkg/README.meta
missing: LocalPackages/com.local.pkg/README.meta
...
dangling: Assets/Not/Removed.meta
dangling: Packages/com.my.pkg/MyPkg.csproj.meta
dangling: LocalPackages/com.local.pkg/LocalPkg.csproj.meta
...

$ # unity-meta-check exit with non-zero status if one or more missing/dangling .meta files exist.
$ echo $?
1

Typically, unity-meta-check don't need to specify the target type (Unity project or UPM package) because unity-meta-check can automatically detect it. You can explicitly specify -unity-project or -upm-package to disable the automatic detection, if the detection result was not intended.

If you want to ignore some problems, you can use .meta-check-ignore (this format is very similar to .gitignore but ! is not supported):

$ unity-meta-check -silent
missing: Assets/Not/Added1.meta
missing: Assets/NotAdded2.meta

$ # You can ignore these problems using .meta-check-ignore:
$ cat .meta-check-ignore
Assets/Not             # All files in the directory or the sub directories get ignored.
Assets/NotAdded2.meta  # Also can specify the path to files.

$ # unity-meta-check will ignore these problems.
$ unity-meta-check -silent

See more advanced usage for more information.

Installation

Using Docker Image

This way is recommended to use unity-meta-check on CI.

$ docker pull ghcr.io/dena/unity-meta-check/unity-meta-check:latest

$ cd path/to/your/proj 
$ docker run -v "$(pwd):/target" --rm ghcr.io/dena/unity-meta-check/unity-meta-check:latest -silent /target
missing Assets/AssetsMissing.meta
missing LocalPackages/com.example.local.pkg/LocalPkgMissing.meta
missing Packages/com.example.pkg/PkgMissing.meta
dangling Assets/AssetsDangling.meta
dangling LocalPackages/com.example.local.pkg/LocalPkgDangling.meta
dangling Packages/com.example.pkg/PkgDangling.meta

$ docker run --rm ghcr.io/dena/unity-meta-check/unity-meta-check:latest -help
usage: unity-meta-check [<options>] [<path>]
...

Using GitHub Actions

To check only, the following YAML can cover almost case:

name: Meta Check
on: pull_request

jobs:
  meta-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: DeNA/unity-meta-check@v3

See ./action.yml for more detials.

The following YAML is the example for JUnit report + Autofix + PR Comment report:

name: Meta Check
on: pull_request

jobs:
  unity-meta-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: DeNA/unity-meta-check@v3
        with:
          enable_autofix: true
          autofix_globs: .
          enable_junit: true
          junit_xml_path: junit.xml
          enable_pr_comment: true
          pr_comment_lang: ja
          pr_comment_send_success: true
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

      - name: See how autofix did
        run: git status
        if: always()

      - uses: mikepenz/action-junit-report@v2
        with:
          report_paths: junit.xml
        if: always()

name: Meta Check
on: push

jobs:
  meta-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - uses: jwalton/gh-find-current-pr@v1
        id: findPr

      - uses: DeNA/unity-meta-check@v3
          enable_pr_comment: true
          pr_comment_pull_number: ${{ steps.findPr.outputs.number }}
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

Download binaries

Binaries are available on releases.

Advanced Usage

Provided features are built on several individual binaries:

unity-meta-check

unity-meta-check checks missing/dangling meta files on the commit.

This check based on a git tree object instead of the working directory. It means you MUST commit adding missing meta files or removing dangling meta files to re-check by unity-meta-check.

Other complemental features such as autofix or reporting are provided other binaries.

$ unity-meta-check -help
usage: unity-meta-check [<options>] [<path>]

Check missing or dangling .meta files.

  <path>
        root directory of your Unity project or UPM package to check (default "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)")

OPTIONS
  -debug
        set log level to DEBUG (default INFO)
  -ignore-file string
        path to .meta-check-ignore
  -ignore-dangling
        ignore dangling .meta
  -ignore-submodules
        ignore git submodules and nesting repositories (this is RECOMMENDED but not enabled by default because it can cause to miss problems in submodules or nesting repositories)
  -no-ignore-case
        treat case of file paths
  -silent
        set log level to WARN (default INFO)
  -unity-project
        check as Unity project
  -unity-project-sub-dir
        check as sub directory of Unity project
  -upm-package
        check as UPM package (same meaning of -unity-project-sub-dir)
  -version
        print version

EXAMPLE USAGES
  $ cd path/to/UnityProject
  $ unity-meta-check -silent

  $ cd path/to/any/dir
  $ unity-meta-check -silent -upm-package path/to/MyUPMPackage
  $ unity-meta-check -silent -unity-project-sub-dir path/to/UnityProject/Assets/Sub/Dir

EXAMPLE USAGES WITH OTHER TOOLS
  $ unity-meta-check <options> | unity-meta-check-junit path/to/junit.xml
  $ unity-meta-check <options> | unity-meta-check-github-pr-comment <options>
  $ unity-meta-check <options> | unity-meta-check-junit path/to/junit.xml | unity-meta-check-github-pr-comment <options>

If both -silent and -debug are specified, -silent win.

unity-meta-autofix

unity-meta-autofix fix (very limited) problems about meta files. It needs a result of unity-meta-check via stdin. It can fix the following problems:

fileFormatVersion: 2
guid: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
folderAsset: yes
DefaultImporter:
  externalObjects: {}
  userData: 
  assetBundleName: 
  assetBundleVariant: 

Automatic GUID generation does not depend on time, so it is safe if autofix runs parallel.

guid: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
TextScriptImporter:
  externalObjects: {}
  userData: 
  assetBundleName: 
  assetBundleVariant: 

Automatic GUID generation does not depend on time, so it is safe if autofix runs parallel.

$ unity-meta-autofix -help
usage: unity-meta-autofix [<options>] <pattern> [<pattern>...]

Fix missing or dangling .meta. Currently autofix is only limited support.

ARGUMENTS
  <pattern>
        glob pattern to path where autofix allowed on

OPTIONS
  -debug
        set log level to DEBUG (default INFO)
  -dry-run
        dry run
  -root-dir string
        directory path to where unity-meta-check checked at (default ".")
  -silent
        set log level to WARN (default INFO)
  -version
        print version

EXAMPLE USAGES
  $ unity-meta-check <options> | unity-meta-autofix -dry-run path/to/autofix
  $ unity-meta-check <options> | unity-meta-autofix <options> | <other-unity-meta-check-tool>

Currently, autofix for dangling meta files is not supported, because it might be dangerous on some situations.

TEMPLATE FILE FORMAT EXAMPLE
  If a template file is like:

  {
    "success": "No missing/dangling .meta found. Perfect!",
    "failure": "Some missing or dangling .meta found. Fix commits are needed.",
    "header_status": "Status",
    "header_file_path": "File",
    "status_missing": "Not committed",
    "status_dangling": "Not removed"
  }

  then the output become:

  No missing/dangling .meta found. Perfect!

  or:

  Some missing or dangling .meta found. Fix commits are needed.

  | Status | File |
  |:--|:--|
  | Not committed | `path/to/missing.meta` |
  | Not removed | `path/to/dangling.meta` |
