fix(windows): set_gitcredential writes none of its insteadOf rewrites

[HopeSuffers]

Problem

Both Windows copies of set_gitcredential.ps1 quote the config key starting at url.:

git config --global --replace-all "url.https://token:$env:GIT_PRIVATE_TOKEN@github.com/".insteadOf "ssh://git@github.com/"

In argument mode, an argument beginning with a quote is parsed as an expression. So .insteadOf is member access, not literal text. String has no such property, so it evaluates to $null. PowerShell drops $null arguments to native commands.

git therefore receives the value with no key:

argc=4 | [config] [--global] [--replace-all] [ssh://git@github.com/]
argc=3 | [config] [--global] [ssh://git@github.com/]

Which produces exactly this in CI:

error: wrong number of arguments, should be from 2 to 3
error: wrong number of arguments, should be 2
error: invalid key: ssh://git@github.com/
error: invalid key: git@github.com:

No rewrite is ever written.

Why it stayed hidden

The script is syntactically valid, so the dist/platforms parser check passes. It exits 0, because git config's failures are never checked. It then prints git config --list, which looks like confirmation while containing no url.*.insteadof entry.

Nothing fails until Unity resolves packages:

com.example.private: fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled

bash is unaffected — there "url.x".insteadOf is plain concatenation. That is why only Windows broke.

Fix

Move the prefix outside the quotes: url."https://...".insteadOf. This is what unity-builder@v4 has always done. Both copies are fixed:

• dist/platforms/windows/set_gitcredential.ps1 (container)
• dist/platforms/windows/steps/set_gitcredential.ps1 (native)

Regression guard

validate-platform-scripts.sh gains a check for a quoted native-command argument with a .member suffix. The existing check only tokenizes for syntax errors, and this construct parses cleanly. Assignments are excluded, since "$x".Length in expression context is correct.

It flags all 10 broken lines before the fix, and passes over the whole tree after it with no false positives.

Testing

• Argv mangling reproduced under PowerShell 7.6.6 against a stub git (output above).
• validate-platform-scripts.sh fails on the pre-fix scripts, passes on the fixed tree.
• bun run build:assets re-run; --check reports assets up to date.
• bun test ./src: 128 pass / 2 skip / 32 fail — identical to an unmodified checkout, so the failures are pre-existing.
• End-to-end on a self-hosted Windows runner, Unity 2022.3.21f1 IL2CPP, private git UPM dependency. Before: aborted at package resolution in 24s. After: all five insteadof entries written, packages resolved, Build Succeeded! with a 49.7 MB GameAssembly.dll.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Improved platform validation to detect malformed PowerShell command arguments.
  • Validation now reports the affected script lines and flags the build for correction when potentially missing arguments are found.
  • Comment-only lines and assignments are excluded from these checks to reduce irrelevant warnings.
