Objective

  • add more checks on plugin and app startup

Solution

  • allow the same plugin to be added only once to an application (can be changed by the plugin author) moved to can only add a plugin once #3988
  • add the concept of a setup resource
    • setup resources are consumed once the plugin that needs them has been initialized
    • if there are still setup resources once the app starts, it means the user expected to do something but made an error, so panic
    • if adding a setup resource as a non setup resource, an error will be logged
  • move LogSettings, WindowDescriptor, AssetServerSettings, DefaultTaskPoolOptions, ImageSettings to setup resources

fixes #2879 and replace #2886

Changelog

  • Resources LogSettings, WindowDescriptor, AssetServerSettings, DefaultTaskPoolOptions, ImageSettings are now setup resources, and need to be added with insert_setup_resource.

Improves the situation of #1255.

I like it! The concept of a startup resource is pretty simple, and it pushes us further towards a safer, more structured plugin API.

The duplicate detection is much more powerful than #2886; I feel pretty strongly that this should be merged instead.

I left some code quality nits, but once those are cleaned up it LGTM.

Is "every plugin can only exist once" really something we want to enforce for all plugins? This would for example break bevy_asset_loader and bevy_loading. Both plugins need to be configured with two states on a per instance basis. I don't see a way to do that with generics (without having enum variants as types).
In the above examples I like the split of different loading states into different plugin instances much better than trying to put configuration for multiple states into one instance. It would be nice to have a way of opting out of the plugin uniqueness check. Maybe we could extend the plugin trait?

I renamed "startup" to "initialization" as the resources won't be available for startup systems, to avoid confusion.

Is "every plugin can only exist once" really something we want to enforce for all plugins?

No, but I wasn't aware of a use case where that would be needed, thanks for bringing it up! I added a way for the plugin author to say their plugin can be added several times

This is also a more general fix for #2983 as it won't be possible to add DefaultPlugins twice anymore

☝️ I think this change is worth mentioning in the migration guide. Not only because it can cause panics in older Apps that add a plugin twice, but also because plugin authors should be aware of this change and potentially opt-out.

I have left some comments, but I want to put a new one here:
How can I change setup resources in runtime? How can I change fullscreen mode?
Too weird, do bevy really need to have setup resources? I think that this is a question of efficient, not an application behavior

Added ImageSettings, it's only used on setup (#5744)

bors bot pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 24, 2022
# Objective

Fixes #5884 #2879
Alternative to #2988 #5885 #2886

"Immutable" Plugin settings are currently represented as normal ECS resources, which are read as part of plugin init. This presents a number of problems:

1. If a user inserts the plugin settings resource after the plugin is initialized, it will be silently ignored (and use the defaults instead)
2. Users can modify the plugin settings resource after the plugin has been initialized. This creates a false sense of control over settings that can no longer be changed.

(1) and (2) are especially problematic and confusing for the `WindowDescriptor` resource, but this is a general problem.

## Solution

Immutable Plugin settings now live on each Plugin struct (ex: `WindowPlugin`). PluginGroups have been reworked to support overriding plugin values. This also removes the need for the `add_plugins_with` api, as the `add_plugins` api can use the builder pattern directly. Settings that can be used at runtime continue to be represented as ECS resources.

Plugins are now configured like this:

```rust
app.add_plugin(AssetPlugin {
  watch_for_changes: true,
  ..default()
})
```

PluginGroups are now configured like this:

```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins
  .set(AssetPlugin {
    watch_for_changes: true,
    ..default()
  })
)
```

This is an alternative to #2988, which is similar. But I personally prefer this solution for a couple of reasons:
* ~~#2988 doesn't solve (1)~~ #2988 does solve (1) and will panic in that case. I was wrong!
* This PR directly ties plugin settings to Plugin types in a 1:1 relationship, rather than a loose "setup resource" <-> plugin coupling (where the setup resource is consumed by the first plugin that uses it).
* I'm not a huge fan of overloading the ECS resource concept and implementation for something that has very different use cases and constraints.

## Changelog

- PluginGroups can now be configured directly using the builder pattern. Individual plugin values can be overridden by using `plugin_group.set(SomePlugin {})`, which enables overriding default plugin values.  
- `WindowDescriptor` plugin settings have been moved to `WindowPlugin` and `AssetServerSettings` have been moved to `AssetPlugin`
- `app.add_plugins_with` has been replaced by using `add_plugins` with the builder pattern.

## Migration Guide

The `WindowDescriptor` settings have been moved from a resource to `WindowPlugin::window`:

```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app
  .insert_resource(WindowDescriptor {
    width: 400.0,
    ..default()
  })
  .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)

// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(WindowPlugin {
  window: WindowDescriptor {
    width: 400.0,
    ..default()
  },
  ..default()
}))
```


The `AssetServerSettings` resource has been removed in favor of direct `AssetPlugin` configuration:

```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app
  .insert_resource(AssetServerSettings {
    watch_for_changes: true,
    ..default()
  })
  .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)

// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin {
  watch_for_changes: true,
  ..default()
}))
```

`add_plugins_with` has been replaced by `add_plugins` in combination with the builder pattern:

```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app.add_plugins_with(DefaultPlugins, |group| group.disable::<AssetPlugin>());

// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.build().disable::<AssetPlugin>());
