generateSolution supports unity >= 2022 [ATLAS-1772]

[Joaquimmnetto]

Description

FIx the generateSolution task to work for unity 2022 and above, due to "UnityEditor.SyncVS.SyncSolution" not being available anymore on those versions.

We now put a script inside of the unity project and run a method in it to generate the solution. It is more complex, but its the more stable solution as it doesn't depend on the project having a specific active external editor. However, we still need to have some external editor UPM package, so we now install the com.unity.ide.rider upm package if its not present.

To run the script we now have a task to execute scripts in a unity project through a task (RunCSScript).

Changes

• fix generateSolution not working out of the box on unity 2022 and above
• RunCSScript task type
• installs com.unity.ide.rider upm package

So now installing rider becomes a dependency for this task to work, no? There's no guarantee users will have that IDE, and now our agents will need to implicitly install it (though I assume you would manage that).

Is that the only external editor package that provided that functionality?

No, we only need the unity rider upm package, not the editor itself. Rider or VS/VSCode UPM packages would work, but Unity comes with none of them. I used rider as convenience because it was the one package installed in the game I'm using to test this.

That's good to know. I would update the description to reflect this too.
