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(defaultEditMode) —EditModeorPlayMode. EditMode is faster; prefer it during iteration.testAssembly/testNamespace/testClass/testMethod— optional, layered filters. Namespace and class filters become regexgroupNamesso the validation count and Unity's execution stay in sync.testMethodmust be fully qualified (Namespace.FixtureName.TestName).
Response toggles
includePassingTests(defaultfalse) — include details for passing tests; otherwise only failing test details are returned.includeMessages(defaulttrue) — include per-test result messages.includeStacktrace(defaultfalse) — include stack traces for failing tests.includeLogs(defaultfalse) — include console logs captured during the run.logType(defaultWarning) — minimum log severity to include.includeLogsStacktrace(defaultfalse) — 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
bashunity-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:
bashunity-mcp-cli run-tool tests-run --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
bashunity-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. |
