Godot Doctor v2.1.0

New in this release:

Most notably, Godot Doctor now supports C#! Validation still happens on the gdscript side of things, but a native C# API is now exposed to make Godot Doctor work with C# straight out of the box.

Note that C# support should be treated as beta. I've tested what I can, and had some community members test this out on their end. So while everything seems to work just fine. You might still encounter some bugs. If you do, please create an issue

Features:

Major features:

• Added C# Support by @codevogel in #25

Minor features:

• Added inheritance search strategies for PackedScene validation, useful for when the PackedScene might inherit from other scenes by @codevogel in #33

Documentation:

• Add C# examples and Syntax by @codevogel in #25
• Add inheritance search strategy section in README by @codevogel in #34
• Add example gif thumbnail by @codevogel in #24

Fixes:

• Copy over the name when making a placeholder instance from a node, resulting in better validation messages by @codevogel in #32

Godot Doctor v2.0.0

New in this release:

This is a major change to the plugin structure to support a new major feature: running Godot Doctor on the CLI! This allows you to integrate Godot Doctor with your CI/CD pipeline.

Because the codebase overhaul has changed so much, this has upgraded Godot Doctor to a new a major version.

End users should experience no changes in functionality during this release, though three method names have been deprecated (functionality hasn't changed, just the method name). There are no breaking changes in this release, as the new method names provide overloads using the old method names for now. In the future, this will be a breaking change, so upgrade them now!

Features:

Major features:

• Added support for running Godot Doctor on the CLI, allowing you to integrate Godot Doctor with your Ci/CD pipeline! by @codevogel in #10

Minor features:

Deprecation

• string_not_empty is now named is_string_not_empty. Functionality remains the same. Old method calls will now push a warning to upgrade to the new name.
• stripped_string_not_empty is now named is_stripped_string_not_empty. Functionality remains the same. Old method calls will now push a warning to upgrade to the new name.
• scene_is_of_type is now named is_scene_of_type. Functionality remains the same. Old method calls will now push a warning to upgrade to the new name.

Godot Doctor v1.0.1

New in this release:

  • is_in_range_int: Validates that an integer value falls within a specified inclusive range.
  • is_in_range_float: Validates that a floating-point value falls within a specified inclusive range.
  • has_child_count: Checks if an object (e.g., a node, collection, or container) has an exact number of children or items.
  • has_minimum_child_count: Ensures that an object has at least a specified minimum number of children or items.
  • has_maximum_child_count: Ensures that an object has no more than a specified maximum number of children or items.
