Question by YoloJero · Sep 21, 2018 at 02:14 PM · consoleurlpreprocessor

Unity cuts off URLs on a #error preprocessor

I'm writing on some Unity modules.

Some of them depend on each other so I want to print out an error including the URL where to get the missing module(s).

I tried this:

 #if !THIS_MODULE
 #define THIS_MODULE
 #endif
 
 #if !REQUIRED_MODULE
 #error This Module requires the RequiredModule module
 #error Please get it from "https://example.com"
 #endif

If the required module is missing the first line just prints out in the Unity3D console as expected

 error CS1029: #error: 'This Module requires the RequiredModule module'

but the second line only prints

 error CS1029: #error: 'Please get it from "https:'


  • I tried it with and without " and '

this din't change anything but adding the " or ' to the ouput

  • I tried it like

       #error Please get it from "https:\/\/example.com" 
    
    

but than it printed

     #error: 'Please get it from "https:\/\/example.com"'
     

How can I print an URL corrctly using the #error preprocessor in Unity?


It works in VisualStudio (and e.g. here) but in the Unity console the URL is always cut off so I think it is a Unity thing.


So I think it might be possible that Unity does this on purpose in order to prevent bad people from placing any malicious or spam URLs into precompiled .dlls so you would not be able to disable them from beeing posted in the editor.
