Description

A using directive at the top of an execute_code snippet fails to compile, because the snippet is spliced into a method body where the directive is illegal. This hoists a leading run of directives into the wrapper header instead.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update
  • Refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Test update

Changes Made

  • WrapUserCode hoists the leading run of using directives into the wrapper header. Comments and blank lines are skipped; the first real statement stops the scan.
  • Hoisted lines are blanked in place rather than removed, so compiler line numbers still map to what the caller wrote.
  • The line offset is now derived from the generated header instead of a hardcoded WrapperLineOffset = 10, which silently drifted whenever the header changed. It is threaded through CodeDomCompile and RoslynCompiler.Compile.
  • Directives, using static, and aliases (including generic and array targets) are recognised. The C# 8 using var x = ...; declaration deliberately is not, since hoisting it would break the body.
  • 6 EditMode tests in ExecuteCodeTests.cs.

Compatibility / Package Source

  • Unity version(s) tested: 2022.3.62f2, LinuxEditor (headless)
  • Package source used (#beta, #main, tag, branch, or file:): file: — branch checked out and symlinked in as an embedded package
  • Resolved commit hash from Packages/packages-lock.json (if using a Git package URL): n/a, "source": "embedded". Branch tested at 3722415d.

Testing/Screenshots/Recordings

  • Python tests (cd Server && uv run pytest tests/ -v)
  • Unity EditMode tests
  • Unity PlayMode tests
  • Package import/compile check
  • Not applicable (explain why in Additional Notes)

The 6 new EditMode tests are deliberately not ticked: they have not been run through the Test Runner. Every case they assert was exercised against a live editor instead, see Additional Notes. No Python changed.

Documentation Updates

  • I have added/removed/modified tools or resources
  • If yes, I have updated all documentation files using:
    • The LLM prompt at tools/UPDATE_DOCS_PROMPT.md (recommended)
    • Manual review of the generated changes

No tool or resource is added, removed, or re-signatured. One caveat below.

Related Issues

None.

Additional Notes

How this was verified. The 6 assertions were run as live execute_code calls against a headless 2022.3.62f2 editor with this branch loaded as the package, under both compiler backends:

case auto forced codedom
leading using System.IO; hoisted pass pass
using static System.Math; pass pass
generic alias using L = List<int>; pass pass
using after a leading comment pass pass
redundant builtin using System; not duplicated pass pass
error line still points at caller line 3 pass pass

Both backends matter because on this branch alone auto resolves to CodeDom, i.e. C# 6. An earlier draft included a using var x = ...; case, which is C# 8 and failed under CodeDom; it moved to the Roslyn PR below, where the language version is guaranteed.

Doc caveat. The code parameter is documented as "Must be a valid method body." That is now slightly narrow, since a leading run of using directives is accepted and hoisted. It is a one-line change in execute_code.py plus a docs regen: happy to add it here or leave it for a follow-up.

Related PR. fix(execute_code): load Roslyn from Unity instead of falling back to C# 6 also touches ExecuteCode.cs. Whichever lands second needs a rebase. This one is the better base.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Execute Code now supports leading using directives, including using static, aliases, generic type aliases, and directives following comments.
    • Common System.Text functionality is available by default in executed snippets.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved error reporting so line numbers correctly correspond to submitted code, even when using directives are present.
    • Prevented duplicate handling of standard built-in namespaces.
    • Strengthened safety checks to prevent namespace imports, aliases, or static imports from bypassing blocked-operation protections.

WrapUserCode splices the snippet into a method body, where a using directive is
illegal: the parser reads it as a using-statement and demands '('. In our usage
two thirds of the snippets that declared a using failed on that alone.

Hoist the leading run into the wrapper header, blanking the lines in place so
compiler line numbers still map to what the caller wrote, and derive the line
offset from the header instead of a hardcoded 10 that silently drifts whenever
the header changes.

ExecuteCode using directive support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wrapper hoisting and diagnostic mapping
MCPForUnity/Editor/Tools/ExecuteCode.cs
ExecuteCode hoists leading namespace and alias directives, adds System.Text, preserves source-line mapping, and passes the calculated offset to Roslyn and CodeDom.
Using directive behavior tests
TestProjects/UnityMCPTests/Assets/Tests/EditMode/Tools/ExecuteCodeTests.cs
Tests cover commented using directives and safety checks for namespace imports, type aliases, and static imports.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2fbb7

This is a localized fix that enables leading using directives while preserving caller line mapping, with live validation against both compiler backends; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

In `@MCPForUnity/Editor/Tools/ExecuteCode.cs`:
- Around line 523-527: The directive scanner around the using-line regexes must
skip block comments as well as // comments, and recognize trailing comments
after valid using directives. Update the scanning logic near the existing
comment handling and the directive regexes used by ExecuteCode so leading
/*...*/ content is ignored and inline // or block trailing comments are accepted
without leaving the directive in the generated method body; add regression tests
for both cases.
- Around line 543-544: Update the alias/static-import hoisting logic around
BuiltinUsings, hoisted, and WrapUserCode so safety_checks=true validates each
hoisted using before accepting it. Reject aliases or static imports that expose
blocked operations such as F.Delete or Start, including imports from
System.Diagnostics.Process, while preserving existing behavior for safe imports.

…isting widening safety_checks

A trailing '// note' made the directive fail both regexes, and a leading block comment
stopped the scan outright; either way the directive was left in the method body, where
it cannot compile.

Hoisting also opened a hole: 'using System.IO;' puts File.Delete in scope, which no
fully-qualified entry in _blockedPatterns matches. The blocklist is now expanded with
the short forms each directive creates, covering namespace imports, aliases and
using static.
