What's the best way to get the current change set number from the Asset Server?
Hello Everybody!
I want to introduce a pre build step where I ask the Asset Server for its current change set, write that number into an Ascii file and include it into my built. Turns out I encounter several problems:
There is no such thing as a pre build step -> I solved that by introducing my own build command.
I can't seem to get any information from the AssetServer. Do I really need to open my own PostgreSQL connection?
And if so, which would be the best way to do this? I seem to have some trouble with System.Data and Npgsql in Unity.
Thanks a lot!
It's been a year since this was asked, but was there any solution you found?
I am in the same exact same situation where I would like to document the assetserver's 'changeset' number at the time of update before the builds are created are created.
As of 02/25/2014 - Unity Support Response:
Thanks for reaching out. That info can't be accessed from code, as there is no programmability API for the Asset Server. We recommend the Perforce or PlasticSC$$anonymous$$ integrations (also included in the Team License add-on) for users that need more control and flexibility in their asset management. $$anonymous$$ore info is available at http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/$$anonymous$$anual/Versioncontrolintegration.html.
Looks like we will have to wait for an official API to get the latest changeset number form the DB.
