Question by eric-imimtek · Jun 11, 2013 at 10:39 PM · batchmode

-batchmode Not Blocking on Command-Line Windows

We are trying to invoke Unity -batchmode on our build server. We're noticing, when ran from the command line, the command returns immediately (though Unity is still running in the background).

Is there a way to run Unity -batchmode such that it blocks while Unity is executing? We're currently using Unity 4.1.5f1

Our command:

 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe" -quit -batchmode -nographics -executeMethod BuildAndRunScript.Build

Thanks in advanced.

Only one instance of unity can be running at a time. I wrote a simple windows application that would build all my asset bundles in multiple projects using System.Diagnostics.Process WaitForExit. If you have multiple people potentially building at the same time, I would suggest specifying the log file(-logFile ) through the command args and write an app that watches the log file until it completes, then executes your command.

We have bat script, which we,re running. Inside batch we have:

 "C:\Project\Game.exe" -batchmode -nographics

We run this script by double-click and we have window open still and running.

A possible way for handling it is using start command waiting for the termination of Unity process:

 start /b /wait "dummy" "C:\Program Files\2018.2.14f1\Editor\Unity.exe" -projectPath C:\Projects\UnityBatchmodeWin -batchmode -quit

Side note: I should use a "dummy" calling because a known bug of the start command; if you have spaces in both, the command or the parameters and try to handle them with quotes, it fails!
