Daniel McNab 3a20462d3f Useful changes with relicensing benefits (#2497)
This obsoletes #1111 and #2445, since @ColonisationCaptain and @temhotaokeaha haven't replied to #2373.

I believe that both of those PRs would be fine to keep, but they're even more fine to keep now :)

Debugging

Macro Debugging

  • Print the final output of a macro using cargo rustc --profile=check -- -Zunstable-options --pretty=expanded
    • Alternatively you could install and use cargo expand which adds syntax highlighting to the terminal output.
      • Additionally get pager by piping to less ( on Unix systems ): cargo expand --color always | less -R
  • Print output during macro compilation using eprintln!("hi");

WGPU Tracing

When a suspected wgpu error occurs, you should capture a wgpu trace so that Bevy and wgpu devs can debug using the wgpu player tool.

To capture a wgpu trace:

  1. Create a new wgpu_trace folder in the root of your cargo workspace
  2. Add the "wgpu_trace" feature to the bevy crate. (ex: cargo run --example features wgpu_trace)
  3. Zip up the wgpu_trace folder and attach it to the relevant issue. New wgpu issues should generally be created in the wgpu repository. Please include the wgpu revision in your bug reports. You can find the revision in the Cargo.lock file in your workspace.
