Right Directive for 'don't include in production'? #if UNITY_EDITOR?

Is #if UNITY_EDITOR the correct directive for this kind of situation?

If I do something like:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. #if UNITY_EDITOR
3. public void Update(){ Debug.Log("Tons of log entries"); }
4. #endif
5.  

Will that guarantee that builds to any other platform exclude the method?

 

If you just want to turn off logs in builds, disable the "User player log" option in the player settings rather than doing this.

To answer the question about the directive specifically - yes.

 

I might be blind, but I think this option disappear in 4.2 or 4.3... I sure can't find it in 4.3.4 or 4.5, unless it's not in Player Settings anymore.

 

Nope, still there.

Ah! Only available for standalone... Not available for iOS, Android, Blackberry, WinPhone, etc...

 

Is there a better way to do this kind of "only for debug" directive - or is UNITY_EDITOR generally the preferred way?

 

There is also Debug.isDebugBuild, which is not a compiler directive. This is true in the editor and if "Development Build" is checked when building.

Also !Application.isPlaying is what I use if I really want an editor script to not play during gameplay.

Then #if UNITY_EDITOR.

Can't really think of anything else...

 

There's an undocumented (therefore not guaranteed to stick around) compiler define called DEVELOPMENT_BUILD which gets set when the development tick box is selected. So:

#if DEVELOPMENT_BUILD
Debug.Log("development build");
#endif

is a way to have code executed outside of a release.
