UnityPackageValidator

A utility to help resolve dependencies between directories within a Unity Project that are meant to be exported as unity packages

Licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3 (LGPL-3.0)

Usage:

• This editor script creates an editor window from which unity packages in the repository can be evaluated for interdependencies. this window can be found under "Tools"

Package Manifest

• This editor script will search within the repository for a file named UnityPackageManifest.txt. This file tells the script which folders are intended to be exported as unity packages.

• The contents of this file should look something like this:

Packages:
FolderOne
FolderTwo

Dependencies:
FolderTwo FolderOne

• This tells the validator to look for root folders called FolderOne and FolderTwo and these are intended to be exported as unity packages.

• This also tells the validator that FolderTwo is intended to be dependent on FolderOne.

• The package manifest can be edited and saved from the editor window

Validation

• Clicking "Validate Packages" will cause the dependencies to be collected in each of the folders specified and each file directory is checked.

• Each package found will be listed in the editor window with a dropdown menu.

• If a dependent file is found outside of the package folder and not within a folder that is listed as a dependency, it's full path from Assets/ will be listed under External Dependencies within the dropdown menu

• All packages that that package is dependent on will be listed under Package Dependencies

Exporting

• Once found Each package can be individually exported by clicking on Export Package

• All packages can be exported by clicking Export All Packages at the bottom of the menu window.

Notes

• This does not check c# or JS references to other classes or plugins, for now this must be verified another way
