# Objective
- Storages are used to store the ECS data.
- They're undocumented.
## Solution
- Add some very basic docs.
## Notes
- Some of this was hard to immediately understand when reading the code, so suggestions on improvements / things to add are particularly welcome.
Fixes#2566Fixes#3005
There are only READMEs in the 4 crates here (with the exception of bevy itself).
Those 4 crates are ecs, reflect, tasks, and transform.
These should each now include their respective README files.

# Objective
I thought I'd have a go a trying to fix#2597.
Hopefully fixes#2597.
## Solution
I reused the memory pointed to by the value parameter, that is already required by `insert` to not be dropped, to contain the extracted value while dropping it.
This makes the [New Bevy Renderer](#2535) the default (and only) renderer. The new renderer isn't _quite_ ready for the final release yet, but I want as many people as possible to start testing it so we can identify bugs and address feedback prior to release.
The examples are all ported over and operational with a few exceptions:
* I removed a good portion of the examples in the `shader` folder. We still have some work to do in order to make these examples possible / ergonomic / worthwhile: #3120 and "high level shader material plugins" are the big ones. This is a temporary measure.
* Temporarily removed the multiple_windows example: doing this properly in the new renderer will require the upcoming "render targets" changes. Same goes for the render_to_texture example.
* Removed z_sort_debug: entity visibility sort info is no longer available in app logic. we could do this on the "render app" side, but i dont consider it a priority.
Fills in some gaps we had in our Bevy ECS tracing spans:
* Exclusive systems
* System Commands (for `apply_buffers = true` cases)
* System archetype updates
* Parallel system execution prep
# Objective
- New clippy lints with rust 1.57 are failing
## Solution
- Fixed clippy lints following suggestions
- I ignored clippy in old renderer because there was many and it will be removed soon
A sample implementation of how to have `iter()` work on mutable queries without breaking aliasing rules.
# Objective
- Fixes#753
## Solution
- Added a ReadOnlyFetch to WorldQuery that is the `&T` version of `&mut T` that is used to specify the return type for read only operations like `iter()`.
- ~~As the comment suggests specifying the bound doesn't work due to restrictions on defining recursive implementations (like `Or`). However bounds on the functions are fine~~ Never mind I misread how `Or` was constructed, bounds now exist.
- Note that the only mutable one has a new `Fetch` for readonly as the `State` has to be the same for any of this to work

# Objective
bevy_ecs has several compile_fail tests that assert lifetime safety. In the past, these tests have been green for the wrong reasons (see e.g. #2984). This PR makes sure, that they will fail if the compiler error changes.
## Solution
Use [trybuild](https://crates.io/crates/trybuild) to assert the compiler errors.
The UI tests are in a separate crate that is not part of the Bevy workspace. This is to ensure that they do not break Bevy's crater builds. The tests get executed by the CI workflow on the stable toolchain.
# Objective
- `bevy_ecs` exposes as an optional feature `bevy_reflect`. Disabling it doesn't compile.
- `bevy_asset` exposes as an optional feature `filesystem_watcher`. Disabling it doesn't compile. It is also not possible to disable this feature from Bevy
## Solution
- Fix compilation errors when disabling the default features. Make it possible to disable the feature `filesystem_watcher` from Bevy
# Objective
- Improve error descriptions and help understand how to fix them
- I noticed one today that could be expanded, it seemed like a good starting point
## Solution
- Start something like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/compiler/rustc_error_codes/src/error_codes
- Remove sentence about Rust mutability rules which is not very helpful in the error message
I decided to start the error code with B for Bevy so that they're not confused with error code from rust (which starts with E)
Longer term, there are a few more evolutions that can continue this:
- the code samples should be compiled check, and even executed for some of them to check they have the correct error code in a panic
- the error could be build on a page in the website like https://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html
- most panic should have their own error code
Objective
During work on #3009 I've found that not all jobs use actions-rs, and therefore, an previous version of Rust is used for them. So while compilation and other stuff can pass, checking markup and Android build may fail with compilation errors.
Solution
This PR adds `action-rs` for any job running cargo, and updates the edition to 2021.
# Objective
- Bevy has several `compile_fail` test
- #2254 added `#[derive(Component)]`
- Those tests now fail for a different reason.
- This was not caught as these test still "successfully" failed to compile.
## Solution
- Add `#[derive(Component)]` to the doctest
- Also changed their cfg attribute from `doc` to `doctest`, so that these tests don't appear when running `cargo doc` with `--document-private-items`
#2605 changed the lifetime annotations on `get_component` introducing unsoundness as you could keep the returned borrow even after using the query.
Example unsoundness:
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_startup_system(startup)
.add_system(unsound)
.run();
}
#[derive(Debug, Component, PartialEq, Eq)]
struct Foo(Vec<u32>);
fn startup(mut c: Commands) {
let e = c.spawn().insert(Foo(vec![10])).id();
c.insert_resource(e);
}
fn unsound(mut q: Query<&mut Foo>, res: Res<Entity>) {
let foo = q.get_component::<Foo>(*res).unwrap();
let mut foo2 = q.iter_mut().next().unwrap();
let first_elem = &foo.0[0];
for _ in 0..16 {
foo2.0.push(12);
}
dbg!(*first_elem);
}
```
output:
`[src/main.rs:26] *first_elem = 0`
Add the entity ID and generation to the expect() message of two
world accessors, to make it easier to debug use-after-free issues.
Coupled with e.g. bevy-inspector-egui which also displays the entity ID,
this makes it much easier to identify what entity is being misused.
# Objective
Make it easier to identity an entity being accessed after being deleted.
## Solution
Augment the error message of some `expect()` call with the entity ID and
generation. Combined with some external tool like `bevy-inspector-egui`, which
also displays the entity ID, this increases the chances to be able to identify
the entity, and therefore find the error that led to a use-after-despawn.
# Objective
- Fixes#2904 (see for context)
## Solution
- Simply hoist span creation out of the threaded task
- Confirmed to solve the issue locally
Now all events have the full span parent tree up through `bevy_ecs::schedule::stage` all the way to `bevy_app::app::bevy_app` (and its parents in bevy-consumer code, if any).
# Objective
- Avoid usages of `format!` that ~immediately get passed to another `format!`. This avoids a temporary allocation and is just generally cleaner.
## Solution
- `bevy_derive::shader_defs` does a `format!("{}", val.to_string())`, which is better written as just `format!("{}", val)`
- `bevy_diagnostic::log_diagnostics_plugin` does a `format!("{:>}", format!(...))`, which is better written as `format!("{:>}", format_args!(...))`
- `bevy_ecs::schedule` does `tracing::info!(..., name = &*format!("{:?}", val))`, which is better written with the tracing shorthand `tracing::info!(..., name = ?val)`
- `bevy_reflect::reflect` does `f.write_str(&format!(...))`, which is better written as `write!(f, ...)` (this could also be written using `f.debug_tuple`, but I opted to maintain alt debug behavior)
- `bevy_reflect::serde::{ser, de}` do `serde::Error::custom(format!(...))`, which is better written as `Error::custom(format_args!(...))`, as `Error::custom` takes `impl Display` and just immediately calls `format!` again
This implements the most minimal variant of #1843 - a derive for marker trait. This is a prerequisite to more complicated features like statically defined storage type or opt-out component reflection.
In order to make component struct's purpose explicit and avoid misuse, it must be annotated with `#[derive(Component)]` (manual impl is discouraged for compatibility). Right now this is just a marker trait, but in the future it might be expanded. Making this change early allows us to make further changes later without breaking backward compatibility for derive macro users.
This already prevents a lot of issues, like using bundles in `insert` calls. Primitive types are no longer valid components as well. This can be easily worked around by adding newtype wrappers and deriving `Component` for them.
One funny example of prevented bad code (from our own tests) is when an newtype struct or enum variant is used. Previously, it was possible to write `insert(Newtype)` instead of `insert(Newtype(value))`. That code compiled, because function pointers (in this case newtype struct constructor) implement `Send + Sync + 'static`, so we allowed them to be used as components. This is no longer the case and such invalid code will trigger a compile error.

# Objective
Fixes these issues:
- `WorldId`s currently aren't necessarily unique
- I want to guarantee that they're unique to safeguard my librarified version of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/2805
- There probably hasn't been a collision yet, but they could technically collide
- `SystemId` isn't used for anything
- It's no longer used now that `Locals` are stored within the `System`.
- `bevy_ecs` depends on rand
## Solution
- Instead of randomly generating `WorldId`s, just use an incrementing atomic counter, panicing on overflow.
- Remove `SystemId`
- We do need to allow Locals for exclusive systems at some point, but exclusive systems couldn't access their own `SystemId` anyway.
- Now that these don't depend on rand, move it to a dev-dependency
## Todo
Determine if `WorldId` should be `u32` based instead
Changed out unwraps to use if let syntax instead. Returning false when None.
Also modified an existing test to encompass these methods
This PR fixes#2828
This changes how render logic is composed to make it much more modular. Previously, all extraction logic was centralized for a given "type" of rendered thing. For example, we extracted meshes into a vector of ExtractedMesh, which contained the mesh and material asset handles, the transform, etc. We looked up bindings for "drawn things" using their index in the `Vec<ExtractedMesh>`. This worked fine for built in rendering, but made it hard to reuse logic for "custom" rendering. It also prevented us from reusing things like "extracted transforms" across contexts.
To make rendering more modular, I made a number of changes:
* Entities now drive rendering:
* We extract "render components" from "app components" and store them _on_ entities. No more centralized uber lists! We now have true "ECS-driven rendering"
* To make this perform well, I implemented #2673 in upstream Bevy for fast batch insertions into specific entities. This was merged into the `pipelined-rendering` branch here: #2815
* Reworked the `Draw` abstraction:
* Generic `PhaseItems`: each draw phase can define its own type of "rendered thing", which can define its own "sort key"
* Ported the 2d, 3d, and shadow phases to the new PhaseItem impl (currently Transparent2d, Transparent3d, and Shadow PhaseItems)
* `Draw` trait and and `DrawFunctions` are now generic on PhaseItem
* Modular / Ergonomic `DrawFunctions` via `RenderCommands`
* RenderCommand is a trait that runs an ECS query and produces one or more RenderPass calls. Types implementing this trait can be composed to create a final DrawFunction. For example the DrawPbr DrawFunction is created from the following DrawCommand tuple. Const generics are used to set specific bind group locations:
```rust
pub type DrawPbr = (
SetPbrPipeline,
SetMeshViewBindGroup<0>,
SetStandardMaterialBindGroup<1>,
SetTransformBindGroup<2>,
DrawMesh,
);
```
* The new `custom_shader_pipelined` example illustrates how the commands above can be reused to create a custom draw function:
```rust
type DrawCustom = (
SetCustomMaterialPipeline,
SetMeshViewBindGroup<0>,
SetTransformBindGroup<2>,
DrawMesh,
);
```
* ExtractComponentPlugin and UniformComponentPlugin:
* Simple, standardized ways to easily extract individual components and write them to GPU buffers
* Ported PBR and Sprite rendering to the new primitives above.
* Removed staging buffer from UniformVec in favor of direct Queue usage
* Makes UniformVec much easier to use and more ergonomic. Completely removes the need for custom render graph nodes in these contexts (see the PbrNode and view Node removals and the much simpler call patterns in the relevant Prepare systems).
* Added a many_cubes_pipelined example to benchmark baseline 3d rendering performance and ensure there were no major regressions during this port. Avoiding regressions was challenging given that the old approach of extracting into centralized vectors is basically the "optimal" approach. However thanks to a various ECS optimizations and render logic rephrasing, we pretty much break even on this benchmark!
* Lifetimeless SystemParams: this will be a bit divisive, but as we continue to embrace "trait driven systems" (ex: ExtractComponentPlugin, UniformComponentPlugin, DrawCommand), the ergonomics of `(Query<'static, 'static, (&'static A, &'static B, &'static)>, Res<'static, C>)` were getting very hard to bear. As a compromise, I added "static type aliases" for the relevant SystemParams. The previous example can now be expressed like this: `(SQuery<(Read<A>, Read<B>)>, SRes<C>)`. If anyone has better ideas / conflicting opinions, please let me know!
* RunSystem trait: a way to define Systems via a trait with a SystemParam associated type. This is used to implement the various plugins mentioned above. I also added SystemParamItem and QueryItem type aliases to make "trait stye" ecs interactions nicer on the eyes (and fingers).
* RenderAsset retrying: ensures that render assets are only created when they are "ready" and allows us to create bind groups directly inside render assets (which significantly simplified the StandardMaterial code). I think ultimately we should swap this out on "asset dependency" events to wait for dependencies to load, but this will require significant asset system changes.
* Updated some built in shaders to account for missing MeshUniform fields
## Objective
The upcoming Bevy Book makes many references to the API documentation of bevy.
Most references belong to the first two chapters of the Bevy Book:
- bevyengine/bevy-website#176
- bevyengine/bevy-website#182
This PR attempts to improve the documentation of `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app` in order to help readers of the Book who want to delve deeper into technical details.
## Solution
- Add crate and level module documentation
- Document the most important items (basically those included in the preludes), with the following style, where applicable:
- **Summary.** Short description of the item.
- **Second paragraph.** Detailed description of the item, without going too much in the implementation.
- **Code example(s).**
- **Safety or panic notes.**
## Collaboration
Any kind of collaboration is welcome, especially corrections, wording, new ideas and guidelines on where the focus should be put in.

### Related issues
- Fixes#2246
This updates the `pipelined-rendering` branch to use the latest `bevy_ecs` from `main`. This accomplishes a couple of goals:
1. prepares for upcoming `custom-shaders` branch changes, which were what drove many of the recent bevy_ecs changes on `main`
2. prepares for the soon-to-happen merge of `pipelined-rendering` into `main`. By including bevy_ecs changes now, we make that merge simpler / easier to review.
I split this up into 3 commits:
1. **add upstream bevy_ecs**: please don't bother reviewing this content. it has already received thorough review on `main` and is a literal copy/paste of the relevant folders (the old folders were deleted so the directories are literally exactly the same as `main`).
2. **support manual buffer application in stages**: this is used to enable the Extract step. we've already reviewed this once on the `pipelined-rendering` branch, but its worth looking at one more time in the new context of (1).
3. **support manual archetype updates in QueryState**: same situation as (2).
# Objective
- CI is failing again
- These failures result from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85200
## Solution
- Fix the errors which result from this by using the given fields
- I also removed the now unused `Debug` impl.
I suspect that we shouldn't use -D warnings for nightly CI - ideally we'd get a discord webhook message into some (non-#github) dedicated channel on warnings.
But this does not implement that.
# Objective
The vast majority of `.single()` usage I've seen is immediately followed by a `.unwrap()`. Since it seems most people use it without handling the error, I think making it easier to just get what you want fast while also having a more verbose alternative when you want to handle the error could help.
## Solution
Instead of having a lot of `.unwrap()` everywhere, this PR introduces a `try_single()` variant that behaves like the current `.single()` and make the new `.single()` panic on error.
# Objective
Sometimes, the unwraps in `entity_mut` could fail here, if the entity was despawned *before* this command was applied.
The simplest case involves two command buffers:
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn b(mut commands1: Commands, mut commands2: Commands) {
let id = commands2.spawn().insert_bundle(()).id();
commands1.entity(id).despawn();
}
fn main() {
App::build().add_system(b.system()).run();
}
```
However, a more complicated version arises in the case of ambiguity:
```rust
use std::time::Duration;
use bevy::{app::ScheduleRunnerPlugin, prelude::*};
use rand::Rng;
fn cleanup(mut e: ResMut<Option<Entity>>) {
*e = None;
}
fn sleep_randomly() {
let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
std:🧵:sleep(Duration::from_millis(rng.gen_range(0..50)));
}
fn spawn(mut commands: Commands, mut e: ResMut<Option<Entity>>) {
*e = Some(commands.spawn().insert_bundle(()).id());
}
fn despawn(mut commands: Commands, e: Res<Option<Entity>>) {
let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
std:🧵:sleep(Duration::from_millis(rng.gen_range(0..50)));
if let Some(e) = *e {
commands.entity(e).despawn();
}
}
fn main() {
App::build()
.add_system(cleanup.system().label("cleanup"))
.add_system(sleep_randomly.system().label("before_despawn"))
.add_system(despawn.system().after("cleanup").after("before_despawn"))
.add_system(sleep_randomly.system().label("before_spawn"))
.add_system(spawn.system().after("cleanup").after("before_spawn"))
.insert_resource(None::<Entity>)
.add_plugin(ScheduleRunnerPlugin::default())
.run();
}
```
In the cases where this example crashes, it's because `despawn` was ordered before `spawn` in the topological ordering of systems (which determines when buffers are applied). However, `despawn` actually ran *after* `spawn`, because these systems are ambiguous, so the jiggles in the sleeping time triggered a case where this works.
## Solution
- Give a better error message
# Objective
Fix `Option<NonSend<T>>` to work when T isn't `Send`
Fix `Option<NonSendMut<T>>` to work when T isnt in the world.
## Solution
Simple two row fix, properly initialize T in `OptionNonSendState` and remove `T: Component` bound for `Option<NonSendMut<T>>`
also added a rudimentary test

This upstreams the code changes used by the new renderer to enable cross-app Entity reuse:
* Spawning at specific entities
* get_or_spawn: spawns an entity if it doesn't already exist and returns an EntityMut
* insert_or_spawn_batch: the batched equivalent to `world.get_or_spawn(entity).insert_bundle(bundle)`
* Clearing entities and storages
* Allocating Entities with "invalid" archetypes. These entities cannot be queried / are treated as "non existent". They serve as "reserved" entities that won't show up when calling `spawn()`. They must be "specifically spawned at" using apis like `get_or_spawn(entity)`.
In combination, these changes enable the "render world" to clear entities / storages each frame and reserve all "app world entities". These can then be spawned during the "render extract step".
This refactors "spawn" and "insert" code in a way that I think is a massive improvement to legibility and re-usability. It also yields marginal performance wins by reducing some duplicate lookups (less than a percentage point improvement on insertion benchmarks). There is also some potential for future unsafe reduction (by making BatchSpawner and BatchInserter generic). But for now I want to cut down generic usage to a minimum to encourage smaller binaries and faster compiles.
This is currently a draft because it needs more tests (although this code has already had some real-world testing on my custom-shaders branch).
I also fixed the benchmarks (which currently don't compile!) / added new ones to illustrate batching wins.
After these changes, Bevy ECS is basically ready to accommodate the new renderer. I think the biggest missing piece at this point is "sub apps".
This is a rather simple but wide change, and it involves adding a new `bevy_app_macros` crate. Let me know if there is a better way to do any of this!
---
# Objective
- Allow adding and accessing sub-apps by using a label instead of an index
## Solution
- Migrate the bevy label implementation and derive code to the `bevy_utils` and `bevy_macro_utils` crates and then add a new `SubAppLabel` trait to the `bevy_app` crate that is used when adding or getting a sub-app from an app.
# Objective
While implementing a plugin for my rollback networking library, I needed to load/save parts of the world. For this, I made a WorldSnapshot that works quite like the current DynamicScene. Using a TypeRegistry to register component types I want to save/load and then using ReflectComponents methods to add or apply components of the given types.
However, I noticed there is no method to remove components from entities through the ReflectComponent.
## Solution
I added a `remove_component` field to the `ReflectComponent` struct, as well as a `pub fn remove_component(&self, world: &mut World, entity: Entity)` to call that function in `remove_component`. This follows exactly the same pattern all other methods/fields in this struct look like.
This is an example how it could be used (at least how I would use it):
6c003f86f1/src/world_snapshot.rs (L133)
# Objective
Enable using exact World lifetimes during read-only access . This is motivated by the new renderer's need to allow read-only world-only queries to outlive the query itself (but still be constrained by the world lifetime).
For example:
115b170d1f/pipelined/bevy_pbr2/src/render/mod.rs (L774)
## Solution
Split out SystemParam state and world lifetimes and pipe those lifetimes up to read-only Query ops (and add into_inner for Res). According to every safety test I've run so far (except one), this is safe (see the temporary safety test commit). Note that changing the mutable variants to the new lifetimes would allow aliased mutable pointers (try doing that to see how it affects the temporary safety tests).
The new state lifetime on SystemParam does make `#[derive(SystemParam)]` more cumbersome (the current impl requires PhantomData if you don't use both lifetimes). We can make this better by detecting whether or not a lifetime is used in the derive and adjusting accordingly, but that should probably be done in its own pr.
## Why is this a draft?
The new lifetimes break QuerySet safety in one very specific case (see the query_set system in system_safety_test). We need to solve this before we can use the lifetimes given.
This is due to the fact that QuerySet is just a wrapper over Query, which now relies on world lifetimes instead of `&self` lifetimes to prevent aliasing (but in systems, each Query has its own implied lifetime, not a centralized world lifetime). I believe the fix is to rewrite QuerySet to have its own World lifetime (and own the internal reference). This will complicate the impl a bit, but I think it is doable. I'm curious if anyone else has better ideas.
Personally, I think these new lifetimes need to happen. We've gotta have a way to directly tie read-only World queries to the World lifetime. The new renderer is the first place this has come up, but I doubt it will be the last. Worst case scenario we can come up with a second `WorldLifetimeQuery<Q, F = ()>` parameter to enable these read-only scenarios, but I'd rather not add another type to the type zoo.
# Objective
This:
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_system(test)
.run();
}
fn test(entities: Query<Entity>) {
let mut combinations = entities.iter_combinations_mut();
while let Some([e1, e2]) = combinations.fetch_next() {
dbg!(e1);
}
}
```
fails with the message "the trait bound `bevy::ecs::query::EntityFetch: std::clone::Clone` is not satisfied".
## Solution
It works after adding the naive clone implementation to EntityFetch. I'm not super familiar with ECS internals, so I'd appreciate input on this.
This is an updated version of #1434 PR. I've encountered this macro problem while trying to use @woubuc's bevy-event-set crate.
