Description

Adds fixed Game View resolution control for layout verification. A request for 2400 × 1080 now selects a reusable MCP preset and waits for the allocated render target to match Unity's computed size. The response reports requested, selected, computed and allocated dimensions separately, so a preset selection cannot be mistaken for a successful render-size change.

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Documentation update
  • Test update

Changes Made

  • Add get_game_view_size and set_game_view_size actions to manage_editor, plus the equivalent unity-mcp editor game-view-size CLI command.
  • Validate both dimensions as integers from 10 to 8192. Require an existing graphical Game View; use the focused view or the sole open view without creating a window or taking focus.
  • Reuse one clearly named MCP preset per platform group in shared Editor preferences. Ownership checks include the exact label, dimensions and fixed-resolution mode, preserving unrelated or user-edited presets.
  • Read allocated RenderTexture dimensions separately from the selected preset and computed target. Wait for two settled Editor updates, with explicit timeout, concurrent-edit and unsupported-API errors.
  • Add Python, CLI and real Editor regression tests and document the size/readback contract.

Compatibility / Package Source

  • Unity version tested: 6000.3.24f1, graphical macOS arm64 Editor using Metal.
  • Package source: local file package containing this change, based on beta at ef713af.
  • Git package lock commit: not applicable; the fixture used a local file package.
  • Runtime and Editor assemblies also compiled against the installed 6000.3.24f1 reference assemblies with Windows, macOS and Linux symbols. This is a compile check, not runtime coverage of those three platforms or other Unity versions.

Testing/Screenshots/Recordings

  • Python tests: 1,613 passed, 18 skipped. Focused tool/CLI tests: 71 passed.
  • Unity EditMode tests: 18 focused Game View tests passed, no failures or skips, in the graphical Editor.
  • Unity PlayMode tests: not run; this change controls the Editor view and does not advance gameplay.
  • Package import/compile check.

Manual graphical checks confirmed 2400 × 1080 and 1080 × 2400 allocated textures, with matching readback and unchanged focus, window geometry and display scale. A hidden Game View returned the five-second timeout with the newly selected size and its still-old allocated texture. Multiple open views with neither focused returned an ambiguity error without selecting a preset. The test fixture restored its original presets and shared preference values afterward.

The focused tests cover preset reuse, unrelated/user-edited preset preservation, corrupt ownership records, per-group ownership, validation, closed-view/busy behavior and concurrent preset edits. They are not the full Unity project test suite.

Documentation Updates

  • I have added/removed/modified tools or resources.
  • Regenerated the tool reference and verified the generated-doc drift check.
  • Updated CLI documentation and examples; manually reviewed the generated changes.

Related Issues

Relates to #1436. Implements the fixed-dimension first step discussed there. Named/aspect-ratio presets and temporary screenshot-size switching are outside this PR.

Additional Notes

Unity stores these presets globally across projects. The command changes only its recorded preset; if the user edits it, the next resize preserves that entry and creates a new owned one.

A timeout can leave the requested preset selected. The response says so and includes the observed dimensions. GPU limits may also reduce the actual size. Allocated dimensions establish the render-target size, not the freshness of its pixel content. Unity's internal Game View APIs are isolated in one Editor helper and return an explicit unsupported-version error if the required API is unavailable.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Read the current Unity Game View dimensions or request a fixed resolution using the editor controls or editor game-view-size CLI command.
    • Confirm the applied size with render-target readback; results indicate when Unity or GPU limits prevent matching the requested dimensions.
  • Documentation
    • Added CLI examples and guidance on dimension limits, Game View visibility and focus, and how to verify the rendered size.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Game View size read and set actions in Unity, exposes them through the server tool and CLI, and adds validation, tests, and usage documentation. Setting a size selects an MCP-owned preset and checks render-target dimensions.

Game View Size Control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unity API and preset control
MCPForUnity/Editor/Helpers/GameViewSizeControl.cs, MCPForUnity/Editor/Helpers/GameViewSizeControl.cs.meta, MCPForUnity/Editor/Tools/ManageEditor.cs, TestProjects/UnityMCPTests/Assets/Tests/EditMode/Tools/GameViewSizeControlTests.cs, TestProjects/UnityMCPTests/Assets/Tests/EditMode/Tools/GameViewSizeControlTests.cs.meta
Unity routes read and set actions to a helper that resolves Editor APIs and manages MCP-owned fixed-resolution presets. Tests cover validation, preset reuse, and preservation of other presets.
Readback and change status
MCPForUnity/Editor/Helpers/GameViewSizeControl.cs, TestProjects/UnityMCPTests/Assets/Tests/EditMode/Tools/GameViewSizeControlTests.cs
The helper waits for settled render-target dimensions and reports interruptions or timeouts. Tests cover readback, concurrent requests, preset edits, and view closure.
Server, CLI, and usage documentation
Server/src/services/tools/manage_editor.py, Server/src/cli/commands/editor.py, Server/tests/test_manage_editor.py, Server/tests/test_cli.py, website/docs/guides/cli-examples.md, website/docs/guides/cli.md, website/docs/reference/tools/core/manage_editor.md
The server tool and CLI validate and forward size actions. Tests check forwarding and invalid inputs. The documentation describes prerequisites, preset behavior, and response fields.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1596e

On hardware that limits the render target, setting a Game View size can time out rather than report the usable rendered size. This is a bounded issue to address or explicitly accept before merging.

- Around line 303-330: Update the settled calculation in
GameViewSizeControl.Read so any created render texture is considered settled,
even when its dimensions differ from targetSize. Preserve the existing
matches_requested comparison so a capped texture can complete readback and
report false when it does not match the requested size.
