launch_editor

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:975-1048 (handler)

  The handler function that executes the launch_editor tool. It validates the project path, detects Godot if needed, checks for project.godot file, and spawns the Godot process with '-e --path <projectPath>' to launch the editor.

  private async handleLaunchEditor(args: any) {
    // Normalize parameters to camelCase
    args = this.normalizeParameters(args);
    
    if (!args.projectPath) {
      return this.createErrorResponse(
        'Project path is required',
        ['Provide a valid path to a Godot project directory']
      );
    }
  
    if (!this.validatePath(args.projectPath)) {
      return this.createErrorResponse(
        'Invalid project path',
        ['Provide a valid path without ".." or other potentially unsafe characters']
      );
    }
  
    try {
      // Ensure godotPath is set
      if (!this.godotPath) {
        await this.detectGodotPath();
        if (!this.godotPath) {
          return this.createErrorResponse(
            'Could not find a valid Godot executable path',
            [
              'Ensure Godot is installed correctly',
              'Set GODOT_PATH environment variable to specify the correct path',
            ]
          );
        }
      }
  
      // Check if the project directory exists and contains a project.godot file
      const projectFile = join(args.projectPath, 'project.godot');
      if (!existsSync(projectFile)) {
        return this.createErrorResponse(
          `Not a valid Godot project: ${args.projectPath}`,
          [
            'Ensure the path points to a directory containing a project.godot file',
            'Use list_projects to find valid Godot projects',
          ]
        );
      }
  
      this.logDebug(`Launching Godot editor for project: ${args.projectPath}`);
      const process = spawn(this.godotPath, ['-e', '--path', args.projectPath], {
        stdio: 'pipe',
      });
  
      process.on('error', (err: Error) => {
        console.error('Failed to start Godot editor:', err);
      });
  
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: `Godot editor launched successfully for project at ${args.projectPath}.`,
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error: unknown) {
      const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error';
      return this.createErrorResponse(
        `Failed to launch Godot editor: ${errorMessage}`,
        [
          'Ensure Godot is installed correctly',
          'Check if the GODOT_PATH environment variable is set correctly',
          'Verify the project path is accessible',
        ]
      );
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:672-681 (schema)

  The input schema definition for the launch_editor tool, specifying that projectPath is required.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      projectPath: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Path to the Godot project directory',
      },
    },
    required: ['projectPath'],
  },

• src/index.ts:934-935 (registration)

  Registers the handleLaunchEditor function to handle calls to the 'launch_editor' tool in the CallToolRequestSchema switch statement.

  case 'launch_editor':
    return await this.handleLaunchEditor(request.params.arguments);

• src/index.ts:669-682 (registration)

  Registers the launch_editor tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema response, including name, description, and schema.

  {
    name: 'launch_editor',
    description: 'Launch Godot editor for a specific project',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        projectPath: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Path to the Godot project directory',
        },
      },
      required: ['projectPath'],
