Mono: dependency classes aren't added to solution automatically

[ghost]

When you create a base class in a file, and create a deriving class in another file and attach it to a node, the build will fail, complaining that the base class isn't a part of the build.

Autoload singleton also doesn't added automatically while regenerating the solution after deleting whole project solution..

@tagcup What is the build error exactly?

[ghost]

The type or namespace name `BaseClass' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

[ghost]

Attached an example project demonstrating the issue
monodependency.zip

There was a mistake in the example you uploaded. Line 4 of Player.cs should be public class Player : PlayerBase not public class PlayerBase : Player. After changing that, it gives the error you were talking about, because the file which declares PlayerBase is not part of the project.

Can you describe how did you create the file for the base class?

[ghost]

Yeah, probably sent the wrong file, anyway, that's what I mean.

emacs Player.cs. Why should it matter?

[ghost]

BTW, assuming that globals need to be implemented using a singleton class in a separate file, I also bumped into the issue @khairul169 mentioned too, originally

[ghost]

Ah maybe you mean that's the kind of thing that would be added along with support for external editors / IDEs?

[neikeq]

The reason is you didn't create the file from Godot or an IDE, which would have added it automatically.
Right now, there is no way for CSharpScript to know its base CSharpScript, only the base MonoClass, so it can't check that file as well to add it to the project. This will be possible soon though.

[neikeq]

Also need to check AutoLoads as mentioned above.

This will be possible soon though.

Yeah, that was kind of the point that I'm trying to make.

Well, yes, I do reproduce the same problem?

We have now entered release freeze for Godot 3.0 and want to focus only on release critical issues for that milestone. Therefore, we're moving this issue to the 3.1 milestone, though a fix may be made available for a 3.0.x maintenance release after it has been tested in the master branch during 3.1 development. If you consider that this issue is critical enough to warrant blocking the 3.0 release until fixed, please comment so that we can assess it more in-depth.

This seems to have been fixed a long time ago, the project in #11930 (comment) with the fix in #11930 (comment) works fine in 3.5 beta 1, and likely in earlier releases too.
