Build Reports

Every run writes a JSON report to the config workspace:

{workspace}/{buildConfigName}_Build{buildNumber}.json

The file is a serialized BuildAssistantReport. Field names below match the JSON keys.

Name	Type	Notes
config	string	Unity asset name of the config (config.name). This is not buildConfigName.
buildNumber	string	Config build number, or -buildNumberOverride from the command line.
defines	string[]	Scripting defines from the platform on the config.
result	BuildAssistantResult	Overall Unity compile result only: Success or Failed. Written as a string.
artifacts	Dictionary<string, string>	Paths registered during the run, such as a zip from BA_ZipFiles.
Duration	TimeSpan	EndedAt - StartedAt.
StartedAt	DateTime	When the run started.
EndedAt	DateTime	When the run finished.
buildTarget	BuildTarget	Platform target. Written as a string.
buildTargetGroup	BuildTargetGroup	Platform target group. Written as a string.
mainBuildError	string	Present in the report. Not written by the current plugin, so it stays empty.
warnings	List<string>	Warnings from the Unity BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer report. Action warnings are not included.
errors	List<string>	Errors from the Unity BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer report. Action failures are not included.
preBuildResults	List<BuildActionResult>	One entry per enabled pre-build action.
postBuildResults	List<BuildActionResult>	One entry per enabled post-build action. Success and fail lists are the ones that actually ran.

BuildAssistantResult values are Success, Warning, Failed, and Skipped. The overall result field only uses Success or Failed.

Action results

Each item in preBuildResults and postBuildResults is a BuildActionResult:

Name	Type	Notes
description	string	Action title from GetMetadata().
result	BuildAssistantResult	Success, Warning, Failed, or Skipped. Written as a string.
message	string	Optional text from SuccessWithMessage / FailedWithMessage. Empty for the plain results.

An action that is not allowed to run (When to run / required batch flag) is stored as Skipped.
