Rename send_event and similar methods to write_event (#20017)
Fixes: #18963 Follows up on: #17977 Adopts: #18966 In 0.16, `EventWriter::send` was renamed to `EventWriter::write`, but many methods were missed (sorry about that). This completes that refactor by renaming all `send` methods and internals. | Old | New | |-------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| | `World::send_event` | `World::write_event` | | `World::send_event_default` | `World::write_event_default` | | `World::send_event_batch` | `World::write_event_batch` | | `DeferredWorld::send_event` | `DeferredWorld::write_event` | | `DeferredWorld::send_event_default` | `DeferredWorld::write_event_default` | | `DeferredWorld::send_event_batch` | `DeferredWorld::write_event_batch` | | `Commands::send_event` | `Commmands::write_event` | | `Events::send` | `Events::write` | | `Events::send_default` | `Events::write_default` | | `Events::send_batch` | `Events::write_batch` | | `RemovedComponentEvents::send` | `RemovedComponentEvents::write` | | `command::send_event` | `commmand::write_event` | | `SendBatchIds` | `WriteBatchIds` | --------- Co-authored-by: shwwwa <shwwwa.dev@gmail.com> |

Have System::run_unsafe return Result. (#19145)
# Objective Allow combinator and pipe systems to delay validation of the second system, while still allowing the second system to be skipped. Fixes #18796 Allow fallible systems to be used as one-shot systems, reporting errors to the error handler when used through commands. Fixes #19722 Allow fallible systems to be used as run conditions, including when used with combinators. Alternative to #19580. Always validate parameters when calling the safe `run_without_applying_deferred`, `run`, and `run_readonly` methods on a `System`. ## Solution Have `System::run_unsafe` return a `Result`. We want pipe systems to run the first system before validating the second, since the first system may affect whether the second system has valid parameters. But if the second system skips then we have no output value to return! So, pipe systems must return a `Result` that indicates whether the second system ran. But if we just make pipe systems have `Out = Result<B::Out>`, then chaining `a.pipe(b).pipe(c)` becomes difficult. `c` would need to accept the `Result` from `a.pipe(b)`, which means it would likely need to return `Result` itself, giving `Result<Result<Out>>`! Instead, we make *all* systems return a `Result`! We move the handling of fallible systems from `IntoScheduleConfigs` and `IntoObserverSystem` to `SystemParamFunction` and `ExclusiveSystemParamFunction`, so that an infallible system can be wrapped before being passed to a combinator. As a side effect, this enables fallible systems to be used as run conditions and one-shot systems. Now that the safe `run_without_applying_deferred`, `run`, and `run_readonly` methods return a `Result`, we can have them perform parameter validation themselves instead of requiring each caller to remember to call them. `run_unsafe` will continue to not validate parameters, since it is used in the multi-threaded executor when we want to validate and run in separate tasks. Note that this makes type inference a little more brittle. A function that returns `Result<T>` can be considered either a fallible system returning `T` or an infallible system returning `Result<T>` (and this is important to continue supporting `pipe`-based error handling)! So there are some cases where the output type of a system can no longer be inferred. It will work fine when directly adding to a schedule, since then the output type is fixed to `()` (or `bool` for run conditions). And it will work fine when `pipe`ing to a system with a typed input parameter. I used a dedicated `RunSystemError` for the error type instead of plain `BevyError` so that skipping a system does not box an error or capture a backtrace. |

add missing #[track_caller] (#19769)
# Objective I've noticed that some methods with `MaybeLocation::caller` don't have `#[track_caller]` which resulted in wrong locations reported when `track_location` is enabled. ## Solution add `#[track_caller]` to them. |

Support fallible one-shot systems (#19678)
Closes #19677. I don't think that the output type needs to be `Send`. I've done some test at it seems to work fine without it, which in IMO makes sense, but please correct me if that is not the case. |

Event Split: Event, EntityEvent, and BufferedEvent (#19647)
# Objective Closes #19564. The current `Event` trait looks like this: ```rust pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static { type Traversal: Traversal<Self>; const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false; fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... } fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... } } ``` The `Event` trait is used by both buffered events (`EventReader`/`EventWriter`) and observer events. If they are observer events, they can optionally be targeted at specific `Entity`s or `ComponentId`s, and can even be propagated to other entities. However, there has long been a desire to split the trait semantically for a variety of reasons, see #14843, #14272, and #16031 for discussion. Some reasons include: - It's very uncommon to use a single event type as both a buffered event and targeted observer event. They are used differently and tend to have distinct semantics. - A common footgun is using buffered events with observers or event readers with observer events, as there is no type-level error that prevents this kind of misuse. - #19440 made `Trigger::target` return an `Option<Entity>`. This *seriously* hurts ergonomics for the general case of entity observers, as you need to `.unwrap()` each time. If we could statically determine whether the event is expected to have an entity target, this would be unnecessary. There's really two main ways that we can categorize events: push vs. pull (i.e. "observer event" vs. "buffered event") and global vs. targeted: | | Push | Pull | | ------------ | --------------- | --------------------------- | | **Global** | Global observer | `EventReader`/`EventWriter` | | **Targeted** | Entity observer | - | There are many ways to approach this, each with their tradeoffs. Ultimately, we kind of want to split events both ways: - A type-level distinction between observer events and buffered events, to prevent people from using the wrong kind of event in APIs - A statically designated entity target for observer events to avoid accidentally using untargeted events for targeted APIs This PR achieves these goals by splitting event traits into `Event`, `EntityEvent`, and `BufferedEvent`, with `Event` being the shared trait implemented by all events. ## `Event`, `EntityEvent`, and `BufferedEvent` `Event` is now a very simple trait shared by all events. ```rust pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static { // Required for observer APIs fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... } fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... } } ``` You can call `trigger` for *any* event, and use a global observer for listening to the event. ```rust #[derive(Event)] struct Speak { message: String, } // ... app.add_observer(|trigger: On<Speak>| { println!("{}", trigger.message); }); // ... commands.trigger(Speak { message: "Y'all like these reworked events?".to_string(), }); ``` To allow an event to be targeted at entities and even propagated further, you can additionally implement the `EntityEvent` trait: ```rust pub trait EntityEvent: Event { type Traversal: Traversal<Self>; const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false; } ``` This lets you call `trigger_targets`, and to use targeted observer APIs like `EntityCommands::observe`: ```rust #[derive(Event, EntityEvent)] #[entity_event(traversal = &'static ChildOf, auto_propagate)] struct Damage { amount: f32, } // ... let enemy = commands.spawn((Enemy, Health(100.0))).id(); // Spawn some armor as a child of the enemy entity. // When the armor takes damage, it will bubble the event up to the enemy. let armor_piece = commands .spawn((ArmorPiece, Health(25.0), ChildOf(enemy))) .observe(|trigger: On<Damage>, mut query: Query<&mut Health>| { // Note: `On::target` only exists because this is an `EntityEvent`. let mut health = query.get(trigger.target()).unwrap(); health.0 -= trigger.amount(); }); commands.trigger_targets(Damage { amount: 10.0 }, armor_piece); ``` > [!NOTE] > You *can* still also trigger an `EntityEvent` without targets using `trigger`. We probably *could* make this an either-or thing, but I'm not sure that's actually desirable. To allow an event to be used with the buffered API, you can implement `BufferedEvent`: ```rust pub trait BufferedEvent: Event {} ``` The event can then be used with `EventReader`/`EventWriter`: ```rust #[derive(Event, BufferedEvent)] struct Message(String); fn write_hello(mut writer: EventWriter<Message>) { writer.write(Message("I hope these examples are alright".to_string())); } fn read_messages(mut reader: EventReader<Message>) { // Process all buffered events of type `Message`. for Message(message) in reader.read() { println!("{message}"); } } ``` In summary: - Need a basic event you can trigger and observe? Derive `Event`! - Need the event to be targeted at an entity? Derive `EntityEvent`! - Need the event to be buffered and support the `EventReader`/`EventWriter` API? Derive `BufferedEvent`! ## Alternatives I'll now cover some of the alternative approaches I have considered and briefly explored. I made this section collapsible since it ended up being quite long :P <details> <summary>Expand this to see alternatives</summary> ### 1. Unified `Event` Trait One option is not to have *three* separate traits (`Event`, `EntityEvent`, `BufferedEvent`), and to instead just use associated constants on `Event` to determine whether an event supports targeting and buffering or not: ```rust pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static { type Traversal: Traversal<Self>; const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false; const TARGETED: bool = false; const BUFFERED: bool = false; fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... } fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... } } ``` Methods can then use bounds like `where E: Event<TARGETED = true>` or `where E: Event<BUFFERED = true>` to limit APIs to specific kinds of events. This would keep everything under one `Event` trait, but I don't think it's necessarily a good idea. It makes APIs harder to read, and docs can't easily refer to specific types of events. You can also create weird invariants: what if you specify `TARGETED = false`, but have `Traversal` and/or `AUTO_PROPAGATE` enabled? ### 2. `Event` and `Trigger` Another option is to only split the traits between buffered events and observer events, since that is the main thing people have been asking for, and they have the largest API difference. If we did this, I think we would need to make the terms *clearly* separate. We can't really use `Event` and `BufferedEvent` as the names, since it would be strange that `BufferedEvent` doesn't implement `Event`. Something like `ObserverEvent` and `BufferedEvent` could work, but it'd be more verbose. For this approach, I would instead keep `Event` for the current `EventReader`/`EventWriter` API, and call the observer event a `Trigger`, since the "trigger" terminology is already used in the observer context within Bevy (both as a noun and a verb). This is also what a long [bikeshed on Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749335865876021248/1298057661878898791) seemed to land on at the end of last year. ```rust // For `EventReader`/`EventWriter` pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static {} // For observers pub trait Trigger: Send + Sync + 'static { type Traversal: Traversal<Self>; const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false; const TARGETED: bool = false; fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... } fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... } } ``` The problem is that "event" is just a really good term for something that "happens". Observers are rapidly becoming the more prominent API, so it'd be weird to give them the `Trigger` name and leave the good `Event` name for the less common API. So, even though a split like this seems neat on the surface, I think it ultimately wouldn't really work. We want to keep the `Event` name for observer events, and there is no good alternative for the buffered variant. (`Message` was suggested, but saying stuff like "sends a collision message" is weird.) ### 3. `GlobalEvent` + `TargetedEvent` What if instead of focusing on the buffered vs. observed split, we *only* make a distinction between global and targeted events? ```rust // A shared event trait to allow global observers to work pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static { fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... } fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... } } // For buffered events and non-targeted observer events pub trait GlobalEvent: Event {} // For targeted observer events pub trait TargetedEvent: Event { type Traversal: Traversal<Self>; const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false; } ``` This is actually the first approach I implemented, and it has the neat characteristic that you can only use non-targeted APIs like `trigger` with a `GlobalEvent` and targeted APIs like `trigger_targets` with a `TargetedEvent`. You have full control over whether the entity should or should not have a target, as they are fully distinct at the type-level. However, there's a few problems: - There is no type-level indication of whether a `GlobalEvent` supports buffered events or just non-targeted observer events - An `Event` on its own does literally nothing, it's just a shared trait required to make global observers accept both non-targeted and targeted events - If an event is both a `GlobalEvent` and `TargetedEvent`, global observers again have ambiguity on whether an event has a target or not, undermining some of the benefits - The names are not ideal ### 4. `Event` and `EntityEvent` We can fix some of the problems of Alternative 3 by accepting that targeted events can also be used in non-targeted contexts, and simply having the `Event` and `EntityEvent` traits: ```rust // For buffered events and non-targeted observer events pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static { fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... } fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... } } // For targeted observer events pub trait EntityEvent: Event { type Traversal: Traversal<Self>; const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false; } ``` This is essentially identical to this PR, just without a dedicated `BufferedEvent`. The remaining major "problem" is that there is still zero type-level indication of whether an `Event` event *actually* supports the buffered API. This leads us to the solution proposed in this PR, using `Event`, `EntityEvent`, and `BufferedEvent`. </details> ## Conclusion The `Event` + `EntityEvent` + `BufferedEvent` split proposed in this PR aims to solve all the common problems with Bevy's current event model while keeping the "weirdness" factor minimal. It splits in terms of both the push vs. pull *and* global vs. targeted aspects, while maintaining a shared concept for an "event". ### Why I Like This - The term "event" remains as a single concept for all the different kinds of events in Bevy. - Despite all event types being "events", they use fundamentally different APIs. Instead of assuming that you can use an event type with any pattern (when only one is typically supported), you explicitly opt in to each one with dedicated traits. - Using separate traits for each type of event helps with documentation and clearer function signatures. - I can safely make assumptions on expected usage. - If I see that an event is an `EntityEvent`, I can assume that I can use `observe` on it and get targeted events. - If I see that an event is a `BufferedEvent`, I can assume that I can use `EventReader` to read events. - If I see both `EntityEvent` and `BufferedEvent`, I can assume that both APIs are supported. In summary: This allows for a unified concept for events, while limiting the different ways to use them with opt-in traits. No more guess-work involved when using APIs. ### Problems? - Because `BufferedEvent` implements `Event` (for more consistent semantics etc.), you can still use all buffered events for non-targeted observers. I think this is fine/good. The important part is that if you see that an event implements `BufferedEvent`, you know that the `EventReader`/`EventWriter` API should be supported. Whether it *also* supports other APIs is secondary. - I currently only support `trigger_targets` for an `EntityEvent`. However, you can technically target components too, without targeting any entities. I consider that such a niche and advanced use case that it's not a huge problem to only support it for `EntityEvent`s, but we could also split `trigger_targets` into `trigger_entities` and `trigger_components` if we wanted to (or implement components as entities :P). - You can still trigger an `EntityEvent` *without* targets. I consider this correct, since `Event` implements the non-targeted behavior, and it'd be weird if implementing another trait *removed* behavior. However, it does mean that global observers for entity events can technically return `Entity::PLACEHOLDER` again (since I got rid of the `Option<Entity>` added in #19440 for ergonomics). I think that's enough of an edge case that it's not a huge problem, but it is worth keeping in mind. - ~~Deriving both `EntityEvent` and `BufferedEvent` for the same type currently duplicates the `Event` implementation, so you instead need to manually implement one of them.~~ Changed to always requiring `Event` to be derived. ## Related Work There are plans to implement multi-event support for observers, especially for UI contexts. [Cart's example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14649#issuecomment-2960402508) API looked like this: ```rust // Truncated for brevity trigger: Trigger<( OnAdd<Pressed>, OnRemove<Pressed>, OnAdd<InteractionDisabled>, OnRemove<InteractionDisabled>, OnInsert<Hovered>, )>, ``` I believe this shouldn't be in conflict with this PR. If anything, this PR might *help* achieve the multi-event pattern for entity observers with fewer footguns: by statically enforcing that all of these events are `EntityEvent`s in the context of `EntityCommands::observe`, we can avoid misuse or weird cases where *some* events inside the trigger are targeted while others are not. |

Rename Trigger to On (#19596)
# Objective
Currently, the observer API looks like this:
```rust
app.add_observer(|trigger: Trigger<Explode>| {
info!("Entity {} exploded!", trigger.target());
});
```
Future plans for observers also include "multi-event observers" with a
trigger that looks like this (see [Cart's
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14649#issuecomment-2960402508)):
```rust
trigger: Trigger<(
OnAdd<Pressed>,
OnRemove<Pressed>,
OnAdd<InteractionDisabled>,
OnRemove<InteractionDisabled>,
OnInsert<Hovered>,
)>,
```
In scenarios like this, there is a lot of repetition of `On`. These are
expected to be very high-traffic APIs especially in UI contexts, so
ergonomics and readability are critical.
By renaming `Trigger` to `On`, we can make these APIs read more cleanly
and get rid of the repetition:
```rust
app.add_observer(|trigger: On<Explode>| {
info!("Entity {} exploded!", trigger.target());
});
```
```rust
trigger: On<(
Add<Pressed>,
Remove<Pressed>,
Add<InteractionDisabled>,
Remove<InteractionDisabled>,
Insert<Hovered>,
)>,
```
Names like `On<Add<Pressed>>` emphasize the actual event listener nature
more than `Trigger<OnAdd<Pressed>>`, and look cleaner. This *also* frees
up the `Trigger` name if we want to use it for the observer event type,
splitting them out from buffered events (bikeshedding this is out of
scope for this PR though).
For prior art:
[`bevy_eventlistener`](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_eventlistener)
used
[`On`](https://docs.rs/bevy_eventlistener/latest/bevy_eventlistener/event_listener/struct.On.html)
for its event listener type. Though in our case, the observer is the
event listener, and `On` is just a type containing information about the
triggered event.
## Solution
Steal from `bevy_event_listener` by @aevyrie and use `On`.
- Rename `Trigger` to `On`
- Rename `OnAdd` to `Add`
- Rename `OnInsert` to `Insert`
- Rename `OnReplace` to `Replace`
- Rename `OnRemove` to `Remove`
- Rename `OnDespawn` to `Despawn`
## Discussion
### Naming Conflicts??
Using a name like `Add` might initially feel like a very bad idea, since
it risks conflict with `core::ops::Add`. However, I don't expect this to
be a big problem in practice.
- You rarely need to actually implement the `Add` trait, especially in
modules that would use the Bevy ECS.
- In the rare cases where you *do* get a conflict, it is very easy to
fix by just disambiguating, for example using `ops::Add`.
- The `Add` event is a struct while the `Add` trait is a trait (duh), so
the compiler error should be very obvious.
For the record, renaming `OnAdd` to `Add`, I got exactly *zero* errors
or conflicts within Bevy itself. But this is of course not entirely
representative of actual projects *using* Bevy.
You might then wonder, why not use `Added`? This would conflict with the
`Added` query filter, so it wouldn't work. Additionally, the current
naming convention for observer events does not use past tense.
### Documentation
This does make documentation slightly more awkward when referring to
`On` or its methods. Previous docs often referred to `Trigger::target`
or "sends a `Trigger`" (which is... a bit strange anyway), which would
now be `On::target` and "sends an observer `Event`".
You can see the diff in this PR to see some of the effects. I think it
should be fine though, we may just need to reword more documentation to
read better.

bevy_ecs/system/commands/ folder docs pass (#18639)
- Lots of nits, formatting, and rephrasing, with the goal of making things more consistent. - Fix outdated error handler explanation in `Commands` and `EntityCommands` docs. - Expand docs for system-related commands. - Remove panic notes if the command only panics with the default error handler. - Update error handling notes for `try_` variants. - Hide `prelude` import in most doctest examples, unless the example uses something that people might not realize is in the prelude (like `Name`). - Remove a couple doctest examples that (in my opinion) didn't make sense. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Chris Russell <8494645+chescock@users.noreply.github.com> |

Unify and simplify command and system error handling (#18351)
# Objective - ECS error handling is a lovely flagship feature for Bevy 0.16, all in the name of reducing panics and encouraging better error handling (#14275). - Currently though, command and system error handling are completely disjoint and use different mechanisms. - Additionally, there's a number of distinct ways to set the default/fallback/global error handler that have limited value. As far as I can tell, this will be cfg flagged to toggle between dev and production builds in 99.9% of cases, with no real value in more granular settings or helpers. - Fixes #17272 ## Solution - Standardize error handling on the OnceLock global error mechanisms ironed out in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17215 - As discussed there, there are serious performance concerns there, especially for commands - I also think this is a better fit for the use cases, as it's truly global - Move from `SystemErrorContext` to a more general purpose `ErrorContext`, which can handle observers and commands more clearly - Cut the superfluous setter methods on `App` and `SubApp` - Rename the limited (and unhelpful) `fallible_systems` example to `error_handling`, and add an example of command error handling ## Testing Ran the `error_handling` example. ## Notes for reviewers - Do you see a clear way to allow commands to retain &mut World access in the per-command custom error handlers? IMO that's a key feature here (allowing the ad-hoc creation of custom commands), but I'm not sure how to get there without exploding complexity. - I've removed the feature gate on the default_error_handler: contrary to @cart's opinion in #17215 I think that virtually all apps will want to use this. Can you think of a category of app that a) is extremely performance sensitive b) is fine with shipping to production with the panic error handler? If so, I can try to gather performance numbers and/or reintroduce the feature flag. UPDATE: see benches at the end of this message. - ~~`OnceLock` is in `std`: @bushrat011899 what should we do here?~~ - Do you have ideas for more automated tests for this collection of features? ## Benchmarks I checked the impact of the feature flag introduced: benchmarks might show regressions. This bears more investigation. I'm still skeptical that there are users who are well-served by a fast always panicking approach, but I'm going to re-add the feature flag here to avoid stalling this out.  --------- Co-authored-by: Zachary Harrold <zac@harrold.com.au> |

BevyError: Bevy's new catch-all error type (#18144)
## Objective Fixes #18092 Bevy's current error type is a simple type alias for `Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>`. This largely works as a catch-all error, but it is missing a critical feature: the ability to capture a backtrace at the point that the error occurs. The best way to do this is `anyhow`-style error handling: a new error type that takes advantage of the fact that the `?` `From` conversion happens "inline" to capture the backtrace at the point of the error. ## Solution This PR adds a new `BevyError` type (replacing our old `std::error::Error` type alias), which uses the "from conversion backtrace capture" approach: ```rust fn oh_no() -> Result<(), BevyError> { // this fails with Rust's built in ParseIntError, which // is converted into the catch-all BevyError type let number: usize = "hi".parse()?; println!("parsed {number}"); Ok(()) } ``` This also updates our exported `Result` type alias to default to `BevyError`, meaning you can write this instead: ```rust fn oh_no() -> Result { let number: usize = "hi".parse()?; println!("parsed {number}"); Ok(()) } ``` When a BevyError is encountered in a system, it will use Bevy's default system error handler (which panics by default). BevyError does custom "backtrace filtering" by default, meaning we can cut out the _massive_ amount of "rust internals", "async executor internals", and "bevy system scheduler internals" that show up in backtraces. It also trims out the first generally-unnecssary `From` conversion backtrace lines that make it harder to locate the real error location. The result is a blissfully simple backtrace by default:  The full backtrace can be shown by setting the `BEVY_BACKTRACE=full` environment variable. Non-BevyError panics still use the default Rust backtrace behavior. One issue that prevented the truly noise-free backtrace during panics that you see above is that Rust's default panic handler will print the unfiltered (and largely unhelpful real-panic-point) backtrace by default, in _addition_ to our filtered BevyError backtrace (with the helpful backtrace origin) that we capture and print. To resolve this, I have extended Bevy's existing PanicHandlerPlugin to wrap the default panic handler. If we panic from the result of a BevyError, we will skip the default "print full backtrace" panic handler. This behavior can be enabled and disabled using the new `error_panic_hook` cargo feature in `bevy_app` (which is enabled by default). One downside to _not_ using `Box<dyn Error>` directly is that we can no longer take advantage of the built-in `Into` impl for strings to errors. To resolve this, I have added the following: ```rust // Before Err("some error")? // After Err(BevyError::message("some error"))? ``` We can discuss adding shorthand methods or macros for this (similar to anyhow's `anyhow!("some error")` macro), but I'd prefer to discuss that later. I have also added the following extension method: ```rust // Before some_option.ok_or("some error")?; // After some_option.ok_or_message("some error")?; ``` I've also moved all of our existing error infrastructure from `bevy_ecs::result` to `bevy_ecs::error`, as I think that is the better home for it ## Why not anyhow (or eyre)? The biggest reason is that `anyhow` needs to be a "generically useful error type", whereas Bevy is a much narrower scope. By using our own error, we can be significantly more opinionated. For example, anyhow doesn't do the extensive (and invasive) backtrace filtering that BevyError does because it can't operate on Bevy-specific context, and needs to be generically useful. Bevy also has a lot of operational context (ex: system info) that could be useful to attach to errors. If we have control over the error type, we can add whatever context we want to in a structured way. This could be increasingly useful as we add more visual / interactive error handling tools and editor integrations. Additionally, the core approach used is simple and requires almost no code. anyhow clocks in at ~2500 lines of code, but the impl here uses 160. We are able to boil this down to exactly what we need, and by doing so we improve our compile times and the understandability of our code. |

Encapsulate cfg(feature = "track_location") in a type. (#17602)
# Objective Eliminate the need to write `cfg(feature = "track_location")` every time one uses an API that may use location tracking. It's verbose, and a little intimidating. And it requires code outside of `bevy_ecs` that wants to use location tracking needs to either unconditionally enable the feature, or include conditional compilation of its own. It would be good for users to be able to log locations when they are available without needing to add feature flags to their own crates. Reduce the number of cases where code compiles with the `track_location` feature enabled, but not with it disabled, or vice versa. It can be hard to remember to test it both ways! Remove the need to store a `None` in `HookContext` when the `track_location` feature is disabled. ## Solution Create an `MaybeLocation<T>` type that contains a `T` if the `track_location` feature is enabled, and is a ZST if it is not. The overall API is similar to `Option`, but whether the value is `Some` or `None` is set at compile time and is the same for all values. Default `T` to `&'static Location<'static>`, since that is the most common case. Remove all `cfg(feature = "track_location")` blocks outside of the implementation of that type, and instead call methods on it. When `track_location` is disabled, `MaybeLocation` is a ZST and all methods are `#[inline]` and empty, so they should be entirely removed by the compiler. But the code will still be visible to the compiler and checked, so if it compiles with the feature disabled then it should also compile with it enabled, and vice versa. ## Open Questions Where should these types live? I put them in `change_detection` because that's where the existing `MaybeLocation` types were, but we now use these outside of change detection. While I believe that the compiler should be able to remove all of these calls, I have not actually tested anything. If we want to take this approach, what testing is required to ensure it doesn't impact performance? ## Migration Guide Methods like `Ref::changed_by()` that return a `&'static Location<'static>` will now be available even when the `track_location` feature is disabled, but they will return a new `MaybeLocation` type. `MaybeLocation` wraps a `&'static Location<'static>` when the feature is enabled, and is a ZST when the feature is disabled. Existing code that needs a `&Location` can call `into_option().unwrap()` to recover it. Many trait impls are forwarded, so if you only need `Display` then no changes will be necessary. If that code was conditionally compiled, you may instead want to use the methods on `MaybeLocation` to remove the need for conditional compilation. Code that constructs a `Ref`, `Mut`, `Res`, or `ResMut` will now need to provide location information unconditionally. If you are creating them from existing Bevy types, you can obtain a `MaybeLocation` from methods like `Table::get_changed_by_slice_for()` or `ComponentSparseSet::get_with_ticks`. Otherwise, you will need to store a `MaybeLocation` next to your data and use methods like `as_ref()` or `as_mut()` to obtain wrapped references. |

Improved Spawn APIs and Bundle Effects (#17521)
## Objective
A major critique of Bevy at the moment is how boilerplatey it is to
compose (and read) entity hierarchies:
```rust
commands
.spawn(Foo)
.with_children(|p| {
p.spawn(Bar).with_children(|p| {
p.spawn(Baz);
});
p.spawn(Bar).with_children(|p| {
p.spawn(Baz);
});
});
```
There is also currently no good way to statically define and return an
entity hierarchy from a function. Instead, people often do this
"internally" with a Commands function that returns nothing, making it
impossible to spawn the hierarchy in other cases (direct World spawns,
ChildSpawner, etc).
Additionally, because this style of API results in creating the
hierarchy bits _after_ the initial spawn of a bundle, it causes ECS
archetype changes (and often expensive table moves).
Because children are initialized after the fact, we also can't count
them to pre-allocate space. This means each time a child inserts itself,
it has a high chance of overflowing the currently allocated capacity in
the `RelationshipTarget` collection, causing literal worst-case
reallocations.
We can do better!
## Solution
The Bundle trait has been extended to support an optional
`BundleEffect`. This is applied directly to World immediately _after_
the Bundle has fully inserted. Note that this is
[intentionally](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
_not done via a deferred Command_, which would require repeatedly
copying each remaining subtree of the hierarchy to a new command as we
walk down the tree (_not_ good performance).
This allows us to implement the new `SpawnRelated` trait for all
`RelationshipTarget` impls, which looks like this in practice:
```rust
world.spawn((
Foo,
Children::spawn((
Spawn((
Bar,
Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz)),
)),
Spawn((
Bar,
Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz)),
)),
))
))
```
`Children::spawn` returns `SpawnRelatedBundle<Children, L:
SpawnableList>`, which is a `Bundle` that inserts `Children`
(preallocated to the size of the `SpawnableList::size_hint()`).
`Spawn<B: Bundle>(pub B)` implements `SpawnableList` with a size of 1.
`SpawnableList` is also implemented for tuples of `SpawnableList` (same
general pattern as the Bundle impl).
There are currently three built-in `SpawnableList` implementations:
```rust
world.spawn((
Foo,
Children::spawn((
Spawn(Name::new("Child1")),
SpawnIter(["Child2", "Child3"].into_iter().map(Name::new),
SpawnWith(|parent: &mut ChildSpawner| {
parent.spawn(Name::new("Child4"));
parent.spawn(Name::new("Child5"));
})
)),
))
```
We get the benefits of "structured init", but we have nice flexibility
where it is required!
Some readers' first instinct might be to try to remove the need for the
`Spawn` wrapper. This is impossible in the Rust type system, as a tuple
of "child Bundles to be spawned" and a "tuple of Components to be added
via a single Bundle" is ambiguous in the Rust type system. There are two
ways to resolve that ambiguity:
1. By adding support for variadics to the Rust type system (removing the
need for nested bundles). This is out of scope for this PR :)
2. Using wrapper types to resolve the ambiguity (this is what I did in
this PR).
For the single-entity spawn cases, `Children::spawn_one` does also
exist, which removes the need for the wrapper:
```rust
world.spawn((
Foo,
Children::spawn_one(Bar),
))
```
## This works for all Relationships
This API isn't just for `Children` / `ChildOf` relationships. It works
for any relationship type, and they can be mixed and matched!
```rust
world.spawn((
Foo,
Observers::spawn((
Spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<FuseLit>| {})),
Spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Exploded>| {})),
)),
OwnerOf::spawn(Spawn(Bar))
Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz))
))
```
## Macros
While `Spawn` is necessary to satisfy the type system, we _can_ remove
the need to express it via macros. The example above can be expressed
more succinctly using the new `children![X]` macro, which internally
produces `Children::spawn(Spawn(X))`:
```rust
world.spawn((
Foo,
children![
(
Bar,
children![Baz],
),
(
Bar,
children![Baz],
),
]
))
```
There is also a `related!` macro, which is a generic version of the
`children!` macro that supports any relationship type:
```rust
world.spawn((
Foo,
related!(Children[
(
Bar,
related!(Children[Baz]),
),
(
Bar,
related!(Children[Baz]),
),
])
))
```
## Returning Hierarchies from Functions
Thanks to these changes, the following pattern is now possible:
```rust
fn button(text: &str, color: Color) -> impl Bundle {
(
Node {
width: Val::Px(300.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
BackgroundColor(color),
children![
Text::new(text),
]
)
}
fn ui() -> impl Bundle {
(
Node {
width: Val::Percent(100.0),
height: Val::Percent(100.0),
..default(),
},
children![
button("hello", BLUE),
button("world", RED),
]
)
}
// spawn from a system
fn system(mut commands: Commands) {
commands.spawn(ui());
}
// spawn directly on World
world.spawn(ui());
```
## Additional Changes and Notes
* `Bundle::from_components` has been split out into
`BundleFromComponents::from_components`, enabling us to implement
`Bundle` for types that cannot be "taken" from the ECS (such as the new
`SpawnRelatedBundle`).
* The `NoBundleEffect` trait (which implements `BundleEffect`) is
implemented for empty tuples (and tuples of empty tuples), which allows
us to constrain APIs to only accept bundles that do not have effects.
This is critical because the current batch spawn APIs cannot efficiently
apply BundleEffects in their current form (as doing so in-place could
invalidate the cached raw pointers). We could consider allocating a
buffer of the effects to be applied later, but that does have
performance implications that could offset the balance and value of the
batched APIs (and would likely require some refactors to the underlying
code). I've decided to be conservative here. We can consider relaxing
that requirement on those APIs later, but that should be done in a
followup imo.
* I've ported a few examples to illustrate real-world usage. I think in
a followup we should port all examples to the `children!` form whenever
possible (and for cases that require things like SpawnIter, use the raw
APIs).
* Some may ask "why not use the `Relationship` to spawn (ex:
`ChildOf::spawn(Foo)`) instead of the `RelationshipTarget` (ex:
`Children::spawn(Spawn(Foo))`)?". That _would_ allow us to remove the
`Spawn` wrapper. I've explicitly chosen to disallow this pattern.
`Bundle::Effect` has the ability to create _significant_ weirdness.
Things in `Bundle` position look like components. For example
`world.spawn((Foo, ChildOf::spawn(Bar)))` _looks and reads_ like Foo is
a child of Bar. `ChildOf` is in Foo's "component position" but it is not
a component on Foo. This is a huge problem. Now that `Bundle::Effect`
exists, we should be _very_ principled about keeping the "weird and
unintuitive behavior" to a minimum. Things that read like components
_should be the components they appear to be".
## Remaining Work
* The macros are currently trivially implemented using macro_rules and
are currently limited to the max tuple length. They will require a
proc_macro implementation to work around the tuple length limit.
## Next Steps
* Port the remaining examples to use `children!` where possible and raw
`Spawn` / `SpawnIter` / `SpawnWith` where the flexibility of the raw API
is required.
## Migration Guide
Existing spawn patterns will continue to work as expected.
Manual Bundle implementations now require a `BundleEffect` associated
type. Exisiting bundles would have no bundle effect, so use `()`.
Additionally `Bundle::from_components` has been moved to the new
`BundleFromComponents` trait.
```rust
// Before
unsafe impl Bundle for X {
unsafe fn from_components<T, F>(ctx: &mut T, func: &mut F) -> Self {
}
/* remaining bundle impl here */
}
// After
unsafe impl Bundle for X {
type Effect = ();
/* remaining bundle impl here */
}
unsafe impl BundleFromComponents for X {
unsafe fn from_components<T, F>(ctx: &mut T, func: &mut F) -> Self {
}
}
```

Track callsite for observers & hooks (#15607)
# Objective Fixes #14708 Also fixes some commands not updating tracked location. ## Solution `ObserverTrigger` has a new `caller` field with the `track_change_detection` feature; hooks take an additional caller parameter (which is `Some(…)` or `None` depending on the feature). ## Testing See the new tests in `src/observer/mod.rs` --- ## Showcase Observers now know from where they were triggered (if `track_change_detection` is enabled): ```rust world.observe(move |trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Foo>| { println!("Added Foo from {}", trigger.caller()); }); ``` ## Migration - hooks now take an additional `Option<&'static Location>` argument --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> |

Change World::try_despawn and World::try_insert_batch to return Result (#17376)
## Objective Most `try` methods on `World` return a `Result`, but `try_despawn` and `try_insert_batch` don't. Since Bevy's error handling is advancing, these should be brought in line. ## Solution - Added `TryDespawnError` and `TryInsertBatchError`. - `try_despawn`, `try_insert_batch`, and `try_insert_batch_if_new` now return their respective errors. - Fixed slightly incorrect behavior in `try_insert_batch_with_caller`. - The method was always meant to continue with the rest of the batch if an entity was missing, but that only worked after the first entity; if the first entity was missing, the method would exit early. This has been resolved. ## Migration Guide - `World::try_despawn` now returns a `Result` rather than a `bool`. - `World::try_insert_batch` and `World::try_insert_batch_if_new` now return a `Result` where they previously returned nothing. |

Move Resource trait to its own file (#17469)
# Objective `bevy_ecs`'s `system` module is something of a grab bag, and *very* large. This is particularly true for the `system_param` module, which is more than 2k lines long! While it could be defensible to put `Res` and `ResMut` there (lol no they're in change_detection.rs, obviously), it doesn't make any sense to put the `Resource` trait there. This is confusing to navigate (and painful to work on and review). ## Solution - Create a root level `bevy_ecs/resource.rs` module to mirror `bevy_ecs/component.rs` - move the `Resource` trait to that module - move the `Resource` derive macro to that module as well (Rust really likes when you pun on the names of the derive macro and trait and put them in the same path) - fix all of the imports ## Notes to reviewers - We could probably move more stuff into here, but I wanted to keep this PR as small as possible given the absurd level of import changes. - This PR is ground work for my upcoming attempts to store resource data on components (resources-as-entities). Splitting this code out will make the work and review a bit easier, and is the sort of overdue refactor that's good to do as part of more meaningful work. ## Testing cargo build works! ## Migration Guide `bevy_ecs::system::Resource` has been moved to `bevy_ecs::resource::Resource`. |

Improved Command Errors (#17215)
# Objective Rework / build on #17043 to simplify the implementation. #17043 should be merged first, and the diff from this PR will get much nicer after it is merged (this PR is net negative LOC). ## Solution 1. Command and EntityCommand have been vastly simplified. No more marker components. Just one function. 2. Command and EntityCommand are now generic on the return type. This enables result-less commands to exist, and allows us to statically distinguish between fallible and infallible commands, which allows us to skip the "error handling overhead" for cases that don't need it. 3. There are now only two command queue variants: `queue` and `queue_fallible`. `queue` accepts commands with no return type. `queue_fallible` accepts commands that return a Result (specifically, one that returns an error that can convert to `bevy_ecs::result::Error`). 4. I've added the concept of the "default error handler", which is used by `queue_fallible`. This is a simple direct call to the `panic()` error handler by default. Users that want to override this can enable the `configurable_error_handler` cargo feature, then initialize the GLOBAL_ERROR_HANDLER value on startup. This is behind a flag because there might be minor overhead with `OnceLock` and I'm guessing this will be a niche feature. We can also do perf testing with OnceLock if someone really wants it to be used unconditionally, but I don't personally feel the need to do that. 5. I removed the "temporary error handler" on Commands (and all code associated with it). It added more branching, made Commands bigger / more expensive to initialize (note that we construct it at high frequencies / treat it like a pointer type), made the code harder to follow, and introduced a bunch of additional functions. We instead rely on the new default error handler used in `queue_fallible` for most things. In the event that a custom handler is required, `handle_error_with` can be used. 6. EntityCommand now _only_ supports functions that take `EntityWorldMut` (and all existing entity commands have been ported). Removing the marker component from EntityCommand hinged on this change, but I strongly believe this is for the best anyway, as this sets the stage for more efficient batched entity commands. 7. I added `EntityWorldMut::resource` and the other variants for more ergonomic resource access on `EntityWorldMut` (removes the need for entity.world_scope, which also incurs entity-lookup overhead). ## Open Questions 1. I believe we could merge `queue` and `queue_fallible` into a single `queue` which accepts both fallible and infallible commands (via the introduction of a `QueueCommand` trait). Is this desirable? |

Add Result handling to Commands and EntityCommands (#17043)
## Objective Fixes #2004 Fixes #3845 Fixes #7118 Fixes #10166 ## Solution - The crux of this PR is the new `Command::with_error_handling` method. This wraps the relevant command in another command that, when applied, will apply the original command and handle any resulting errors. - To enable this, `Command::apply` and `EntityCommand::apply` now return `Result`. - `Command::with_error_handling` takes as a parameter an error handler of the form `fn(&mut World, CommandError)`, which it passes the error to. - `CommandError` is an enum that can be either `NoSuchEntity(Entity)` or `CommandFailed(Box<dyn Error>)`. ### Closures - Closure commands can now optionally return `Result`, which will be passed to `with_error_handling`. ### Commands - Fallible commands can be queued with `Commands::queue_fallible` and `Commands::queue_fallible_with`, which call `with_error_handling` before queuing them (using `Commands::queue` will queue them without error handling). - `Commands::queue_fallible_with` takes an `error_handler` parameter, which will be used by `with_error_handling` instead of a command's default. - The `command` submodule provides unqueued forms of built-in fallible commands so that you can use them with `queue_fallible_with`. - There is also an `error_handler` submodule that provides simple error handlers for convenience. ### Entity Commands - `EntityCommand` now automatically checks if the entity exists before executing the command, and returns `NoSuchEntity` if it doesn't. - Since all entity commands might need to return an error, they are always queued with error handling. - `EntityCommands::queue_with` takes an `error_handler` parameter, which will be used by `with_error_handling` instead of a command's default. - The `entity_command` submodule provides unqueued forms of built-in entity commands so that you can use them with `queue_with`. ### Defaults - In the future, commands should all fail according to the global error handling setting. That doesn't exist yet though. - For this PR, commands all fail the way they do on `main`. - Both now and in the future, the defaults can be overridden by `Commands::override_error_handler` (or equivalent methods on `EntityCommands` and `EntityEntryCommands`). - `override_error_handler` takes an error handler (`fn(&mut World, CommandError)`) and passes it to every subsequent command queued with `Commands::queue_fallible` or `EntityCommands::queue`. - The `_with` variants of the queue methods will still provide an error handler directly to the command. - An override can be reset with `reset_error_handler`. ## Future Work - After a universal error handling mode is added, we can change all commands to fail that way by default. - Once we have all commands failing the same way (which would require either the full removal of `try` variants or just making them useless while they're deprecated), `queue_fallible_with_default` could be removed, since its only purpose is to enable commands having different defaults. |
