tests-run

name	tests-run
description	Execute Unity tests (`EditMode` or `PlayMode`) and return per-test results. Supports filtering by test assembly, namespace, class, and method. Refreshes the AssetDatabase first; defers execution across domain reloads if scripts changed. Precondition: every open scene must be saved — dirty scenes abort the run.

Tests / Run

Execute Unity tests and return detailed results. Supports filtering by test mode, assembly, namespace, class, and method. Recommended to use 'EditMode' for faster iteration during development. Precondition: every open scene MUST be saved (no unsaved changes). If any open scene is dirty, this tool throws an InvalidOperationException listing the dirty scenes; save them and retry.

Filters

• testMode (default EditMode) — EditMode or PlayMode. EditMode is faster; prefer it during iteration.
• testAssembly / testNamespace / testClass / testMethod — optional, layered filters. Namespace and class filters become regex groupNames so the validation count and Unity's execution stay in sync. testMethod must be fully qualified (Namespace.FixtureName.TestName).

Response toggles

• includePassingTests (default false) — include details for passing tests; otherwise only failing test details are returned.
• includeMessages (default true) — include per-test result messages.
• includeStacktrace (default false) — include stack traces for failing tests.
• includeLogs (default false) — include console logs captured during the run.
• logType (default Warning) — minimum log severity to include.
• includeLogsStacktrace (default false) — include log stack traces (large payload; use sparingly).

Domain reloads

If the AssetDatabase refresh triggers compilation, the tool persists the run parameters to SessionState, returns Processing, and resumes the run automatically after the reload completes. Pre-existing compilation errors short-circuit the run and return the error details so the caller can fix the project first.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool tests-run --input '{
  "testMode": "string_value",
  "testAssembly": "string_value",
  "testNamespace": "string_value",
  "testClass": "string_value",
  "testMethod": "string_value",
  "includePassingTests": false,
  "includeMessages": false,
  "includeStacktrace": false,
  "includeLogs": false,
  "logType": "string_value",
  "includeLogsStacktrace": false
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:

unity-mcp-cli run-tool tests-run --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool tests-run --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead. Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.

Input

Name	Type	Required	Description
testMode	string	No	Test mode to run. Options: 'EditMode', 'PlayMode'. Default: 'EditMode'
testAssembly	string	No	Specific test assembly name to run (optional). Example: 'Assembly-CSharp-Editor-testable'
testNamespace	string	No	Specific test namespace to run (optional). Example: 'MyTestNamespace'
testClass	string	No	Specific test class name to run (optional). Example: 'MyTestClass'
testMethod	string	No	Specific fully qualified test method to run (optional). Example: 'MyTestNamespace.FixtureName.TestName'
includePassingTests	boolean	No	Include details for all tests, both passing and failing (default: false). If you just need details for failing tests, set to false.
includeMessages	boolean	No	Include test result messages in the test results (default: true). If you just need pass/fail status, set to false.
includeStacktrace	boolean	No	Include stack traces in the test results (default: false).
includeLogs	boolean	No	Include console logs in the test results (default: false).
logType	string	No	Log type filter for console logs. Options: 'Log', 'Warning', 'Assert', 'Error', 'Exception'. (default: 'Warning')
includeLogsStacktrace	boolean	No	Include stack traces for console logs in the test results (default: false). This is huge amount of data, use only if really needed.
