Summary

Found while chasing why every Mac job in game-ci/unity-builder#844's CI has been failing since the thin-wrapper rewrite:

[ERROR] Error: There was an error installing Unity Hub. See logs above for details.
Error: ::warning::No available formula with the name "unity-hub@3.19.5".
To install unity-hub, run:
  brew install --cask unity-hub

SetupMac.installUnityHub built brew install unity-hub@<version> — treating Unity Hub as a versioned Homebrew formula. Unity Hub is only distributed as a cask, and casks don't support that install syntax by default. Confirmed via CI history on unity-builder's thin-wrapper-unity-engine-core branch: the last successful Mac run (2026-08-13, pre-rewrite code) ran the plain, unversioned brew install unity-hub (implicitly resolved as the cask) successfully; every run since (including the v6.0.0-beta.1 tag itself) has failed at this exact step.

What changed

  • Default path (no unityHubVersionOnMac override — the common case): now runs brew install --cask unity-hub directly, matching the proven-working behavior. Previously this "auto" path round-tripped through brew info unity-hub to resolve a "latest" version number and then re-requested that exact version via the broken @version formula syntax — an unnecessary extra step that was itself the source of the bug, since a plain cask install already gets latest.
  • Explicit unityHubVersionOnMac override: still pins a version, now via the <cask>@<version> token Homebrew casks use, with --cask added.
  • Removed getLatestUnityHubVersion() — no longer needed since the default path no longer resolves-then-repins a version.

Verification

  • tsc --noEmit: same 737 pre-existing errors with and without this change (none in the touched files) — confirmed via git stash comparison.
  • New setup-mac.test.ts: 2 tests — default path installs the unversioned cask, explicit override pins @version. Both pass.
  • bun test ./src: 198 pass, 0 fail (root suite).
  • bun run build: succeeds.

Test plan

  • New regression tests cover both the default (unversioned) and explicit-version-override paths
  • tsc --noEmit shows no new errors vs. baseline
  • bun test ./src passes
  • bun run build succeeds

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Unity Hub installation on macOS by using the correct Homebrew cask format.
    • Added support for installing either the latest Unity Hub version or a specified version.
    • Simplified installation behavior by removing unnecessary version lookup steps.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for versioned and unversioned Unity Hub installations.

installUnityHub built `brew install unity-hub@<version>`, treating
Unity Hub as a versioned Homebrew formula. It's only distributed as a
cask, so that command fails with "No available formula with the
name...". Every Mac build in game-ci/unity-builder#844's CI has been
failing at this exact step since the thin-wrapper rewrite; the last
successful Mac run (pre-rewrite code) ran the plain, unversioned
`brew install --cask unity-hub` successfully.

Default (no unityHubVersionOnMac override) now installs the
unversioned cask directly, matching the proven-working behavior,
instead of round-tripping through `brew info` to resolve a "latest"
version and then re-requesting it via non-existent formula syntax.
An explicit unityHubVersionOnMac override still pins a version, now
via the `--cask <name>@<version>` token Homebrew casks use.

macOS Unity Hub setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unity Hub cask installation
src/logic/unity/platform-setup/setup-mac.ts, src/logic/unity/platform-setup/setup-mac.test.ts
SetupMac now installs the unity-hub Homebrew cask and appends @<version> when configured. Tests verify unversioned and pinned commands.
Platform module arguments
src/logic/unity/platform-setup/setup-mac.ts
Platform module argument strings retain mappings for iOS, tvOS, StandaloneOSX, Android, and WebGL with updated formatting.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b121c

The default Unity Hub installation is corrected, but explicitly pinned versions still use unsupported cask names and will fail for affected users. The PR is not merge-ready until that path is corrected or explicitly accepted.

Do not construct a cask token from an arbitrary Unity Hub version.

Homebrew publishes unity-hub and unity-hub@beta, but not numeric tokens such as unity-hub@3.19.5. The explicit-version path fails instead of installing the requested version. Use a supported cask mapping or an installation source that provides the requested version. Update the test to cover that behavior.
