Is it possible to disable bevy_winit?

[TheCGDF]

I'm writing a headless game server and here is my Cargo.toml:

avian2d = "0.6.1"
bevy = { version = "0.18.1", default-features = false, features = ["default_app", "debug"] }

I found I cannot build it on non-GUI linux server because of winit.

Avian by default has the "debug-plugin" feature enabled, which pulls in bevy_render, so use:

avian2d = { version = "0.6.1", default-features = false, features = ["2d", "parry-f32", "xpbd_joints", "parallel", "bevy_scene", "bevy_picking"] }

instead.

Ok, so for 0.18, the features should be

features = ["async_executor", "bevy_asset", "bevy_log", "bevy_state", "reflect_auto_register", "debug"]

instead of "default_app", "debug" (I think this is fixed in 0.19)

(This is b/c in 0.18 bevy_window, custom_cursor and bevy_input_focus are all part of the default_app feature)

Oh if so, I can look forward to 0.19, I think it will be released very soon.

also change the avian feature list to ["2d", "f32", "parry-f32", "bevy_scene", "xpbd_joints", "parallel"] (if things are still not working)

By the way. bevy_picking must be removed from avaian2d too.

This works on 0.18, I will check it again when 0.19 be released and write the result here.

It's really strange that docs say default_app is also useful as a baseline feature set for scenarios like headless apps that require no rendering.

[Jengamon]

yeah it’s fixed in 0.19 to make that actually true 😅

[TheCGDF]

Confirmed 0.19.0 has fixed this, while it didn't remove bevy_wint but made it compatible with the no GUI environment.
