Automated Unity build

CarSunKey

Anyone had success using command line build for Unity? I think I'm close but still having issues getting /App output.

using UnityEditor;

class Builder
{
    static void Build()
    {
        string[] scenes = { "Assets/myScene.unity" };
        string buildPathLocation ="/App";
         BuildTarget buildTarget= BuildTarget.WSAPlayer ; 
         BuildOptions buildOptions = BuildOptions.None;
        BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer(scenes, buildPathLocation, buildTarget, buildOptions);
    }
}

Command line:
Unity.exe -nographics -batchmode -projectPath "C:\Projects\UnityTest\UnityTest" -logFile "C:\Unitylog.txt" -executeMethod Builder.Build

@CarSunKey You may want to add "public" to both Builder class and static Build method.

First make sure your script works in the Unity editor and then invoke it from the command line. You'll need to put the build script inside a special folder called "Editor" which can be located anywhere in the project.

`
// Path: Assets/Editor/Builder.cs
using UnityEditor;

public class Builder : ScriptableObject
{
[MenuItem ("Build/HoloLens")]
public static void BuildForHoloLens()
{
...
}
}
`

Tried some powershell trickery but no luck. Going to fall back to Autohotkey for Unity followed by powershell for VS. Should save a few miles on my keyboard/mouse

I remember trying something similar in Unity using power shell:

Unity.exe -projectPath $samplesDir\$dir -quit -batchmode -executeMethod PerformBuildScript.PerformBuild

Should not but I wonder if changing the scene name to Main.unity helps?

Looked into
Install Universal Windows Apps with the **WinAppDeployCmd ** tool https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt203806.aspx
but it was unable to find the HMD on the network.

Will try the REST API next
