Force Reserialize Graphs

[c0ffeeartcParticipant]

Hello, here is an Editor script to force reserialize NodeCanvas graph assets that might be useful to someone. It helps to update type renames but it doesn’t deal with bound Graphs.

I wish there was a Refactoring section in Documentation that shows best practices and limitations when dealing with serialization.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEditor; using UnityEngine;   public static class Menu_ForceReserialize_NcGraphAssets {     [MenuItem ( "Tools/Custom/ForceReserialize_NcGraphAssets" )]     private static void ForceReserialize_NcGraphAssets(  )     {         var paths = FindAssetPathsByType<NodeCanvas.Framework.Graph>( );         foreach ( var path in paths )         {             Debug.Log( path );         }           AssetDatabase.ForceReserializeAssets( paths );     }       public static List<String> FindAssetPathsByType<T> (  ) where T : UnityEngine.Object     {         var paths = new List<String>( );         var searchT = typeof(T).ToString(  ).Replace( "UnityEngine.", "" );         var guids = AssetDatabase.FindAssets( String.Format( "t:{0}", searchT ) );           for ( var i = 0; i < guids.Length; i++ )         {             var path = AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath( guids[i] );             if ( !String.IsNullOrEmpty( path ) )             {                 paths.Add( path );             }         }           return paths;     } }

Hello and sorry for the late reply!

Thank you for sharing this 🙂 As a kind of relevant side note, there is a plan to expand on the “Graph Finder” utility window and implement into it some form of refactoring (mostly renaming serialization strings), but I still need to be more sure about how to best approach this.

If you have any ideas to suggest, please feel free to do so 🙂

Thanks!

Looking forward for your improvements! Would like to see how it goes!
