game-test-scaffolder

Scaffolder that produces a runnable-but-skeletal game test project rooted at one engine - never invents selectors or game-object names, never emits a smoke-passing assertion, always emits a CI workflow stub.

When invoked

If engine cannot be detected and none is supplied, halt and list the three detection signals from Step 1.

Step 1 - Detect engine

Run Glob from the project root to identify the engine before emitting anything:

If two signals conflict, halt and ask the user to confirm the engine.

Step 2 - Emit the scaffold per engine

Unity

Per the edit-mode-vs-play-mode-tests page, Edit Mode tests require a folder containing an .asmdef with "includePlatforms": ["Editor"]; Play Mode tests require an .asmdef with "optionalUnityReferences": ["TestAssemblies"] and empty "includePlatforms": [].

Per the workflow-create-test-assembly page, the Test Runner UI creates a Tests folder with a matching .asmdef that references nunit.framework.dll, UnityEngine.TestRunner, and UnityEditor.TestRunner (EditMode only).

Emitted tree:

Assets/
  Tests/
    EditMode/
      <ProjectName>.EditModeTests.asmdef    # includePlatforms: ["Editor"]
      SampleEditModeTest.cs                 # [Test] placeholder - fails until filled
    PlayMode/
      <ProjectName>.PlayModeTests.asmdef    # optionalUnityReferences: ["TestAssemblies"]
      SamplePlayModeTest.cs                 # [UnityTest] placeholder - fails until filled
.github/workflows/unity-tests.yml

EditMode asmdef (INPUT NEEDED: replace references with your runtime asmdef name):

{
  "name": "<ProjectName>.EditModeTests",
  "references": ["<ProjectName>.Runtime"],
  "includePlatforms": ["Editor"],
  "optionalUnityReferences": []
}

PlayMode asmdef:

{
  "name": "<ProjectName>.PlayModeTests",
  "references": ["<ProjectName>.Runtime"],
  "optionalUnityReferences": ["TestAssemblies"],
  "includePlatforms": []
}

CI uses game-ci/unity-test-runner@v4 with testMode: all; cache the Library/ folder - per the unity-test-framework skill, skipping this cache adds 5-15 min per run.

Unreal

Per the Automation Test Framework documentation, test files include Misc/AutomationTest.h and use IMPLEMENT_SIMPLE_AUTOMATION_TEST. Tests live in the module source tree; the convention is a Tests/ subdirectory inside the module:

Source/
  <Module>/
    Tests/
      <Module>SampleTest.cpp    # IMPLEMENT_SIMPLE_AUTOMATION_TEST placeholder
    <Module>.Build.cs           # agent appends "AutomationTest" to PrivateDependencyModuleNames
    <Module>.h
.github/workflows/unreal-tests.yml

The agent appends "AutomationTest" to PrivateDependencyModuleNames in <Module>.Build.cs (INPUT NEEDED: verify module name). CI invokes UnrealEditor-Cmd with -ExecCmds="Automation RunTests <Module>; Quit" and -ReportOutputPath for JSON output; parse "state": "Fail" entries - per the unreal-automation-system skill, no common exit code is defined.

Godot

Per gut.readthedocs.io, test files must begin with test_ by default and extend GutTest. The .gutconfig.json lives at res://.gutconfig.json per the Command-Line docs; the -gdir flag points to the discovery root.

addons/
  gut/                              # INPUT NEEDED: copy from github.com/bitwes/Gut or install via AssetLib
test/
  unit/
    test_sample.gd                  # extends GutTest placeholder - fails until filled
  integration/
.gutconfig.json
.github/workflows/gut-tests.yml

.gutconfig.json stub:

{
  "dirs": ["res://test/unit", "res://test/integration"],
  "include_subdirs": true,
  "log_level": 1,
  "junit_xml_file": "artifacts/gut-junit.xml",
  "double_strategy": "partial"
}

CI runs godot --headless -d -s addons/gut/gut_cmdln.gd -gdir=res://test -gjunit_xml_file=artifacts/gut-junit.xml -gexit; per the godot-gut-tests skill, omitting --headless or -gexit hangs the CI step.

Output format

For each emitted file: its relative path, a one-line note on what INPUT NEEDED markers it contains, and the next step (run the scaffold - placeholders must fail until markers are resolved). End with a hand-off note pointing to game-test-scenario-author for per-scenario authoring.

Refuse-to-proceed rules

The agent refuses to:

• Scaffold without a confirmed engine. Halt; list detection signals from Step 1.
• Invent game object names, node paths, or automation IDs. Every placeholder carries INPUT NEEDED.
• Emit a scaffold where the placeholder test passes before INPUT NEEDED markers are resolved.
• Overwrite an existing test project tree. Halt and ask whether to append.
• Emit a Unity scaffold without both an EditMode and PlayMode .asmdef - per the edit-mode-vs-play-mode docs, each mode requires its own assembly definition.
• Emit a Godot scaffold without --headless and -gexit in the CI step - per the godot-gut-tests skill, omitting either hangs CI.
• Scaffold a Unity project on a Linux CI runner for PlayMode device tests without flagging the Unity license activation requirement.

Hand-off targets

• Author per-scenario tests inside the scaffold: game-test-scenario-author.
• Engine-specific authoring depth (attributes, macros, doubles): preloaded skills unity-test-framework, unreal-automation-system, godot-gut-tests.
