Move WorldScape cleanup to NOTIFICATION_PREDELETE, while child pointers are valid. Free detached dialogs and unparented asset controls synchronously.

Validation: standalone Windows build; resource lifetime tests, Node/Control tests (23 total), and three headless shutdown checks pass. No new GUI retest.

Run: python tests/editor/test_shutdown.py <editor>.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved WorldScape 3D editor shutdown cleanup to release dialogs, tools, and asset-dock resources promptly.
    • Reset gradient preview markers consistently when updating decals and prevented gradient operations when points are too close.
    • Kept tool-setting sliders within their configured ranges.
  • Tests

    • Added automated checks for editor shutdown and resource cleanup, including runs of varying durations and resources both inside and outside the scene tree.

Walkthrough

WorldScape3D editor components change cleanup, tool-setting controls, decal updates, and gradient-operation checks. New tests check resource release and headless editor shutdown at multiple frame counts.

Changes

WorldScape3D editor updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Menu and dialog cleanup
modules/worldscape_3d/editor/menu.*, modules/worldscape_3d/editor/menu/*
Menu and dialog classes move owned-control cleanup to predelete notifications or synchronous deletion.
Editor UI cleanup and tool settings
modules/worldscape_3d/editor/ui/*, modules/worldscape_3d/editor/worldscape_3d_editor.cpp
Asset dock, tool settings, editor UI, and plugin cleanup paths synchronously delete owned controls and dialogs. Tool settings add a getter and change slider bounds and spacing. Decal updates hide markers before gradient handling.
Gradient operations and logging
modules/worldscape_3d/editor/worldscape_3d_editor.cpp
Gradient operations use a squared-distance threshold. Undo and operation-start messages use DEBUG-level logging.
Cleanup and shutdown tests
modules/worldscape_3d/tests/test_editor_cleanup.h, tests/editor/test_shutdown.py
Tests check synchronous resource release and headless shutdown for 10, 120, and 600 frames.

This occurred for me just a little bit ago while testing the other 4 PR's.

I never reproduced this crash?

This occurred for me just a little bit ago while testing the other 4 PR's.

If you can manually (as in, manually launching the editor) reproduce this in the master branch, open an issue detailing the circumstances under which the crash occurs and link it to this PR.

Up until yesterday, I could consistently launch the master branch, add a WS3D node and close the editor with the process always returning error code 0. No leaked resource warnings either.

@OldDev78 Clarification: this was found during automated headless testing. Manual GUI closing has not been reproduced here.

Rebuilt unmodified master at a7e798c (clean checkout). Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x64, build 19045.7417; MSVC 14.51.36231; Python 3.11 / SCons 4.10.1:

python -m SCons platform=windows target=editor arch=x86_64 debug_symbols=yes -j24

Create repro/project.godot containing only:

config_version=5
[application]
config/name="Shutdown reproduction"

Then run in PowerShell:

& .\bin\redot.windows.editor.x86_64.exe --headless --editor --path .\repro --quit-after 10 --max-fps 60
$LASTEXITCODE

Master crashes on shutdown with 0xC0000005 (3221225477). Reproduced at 10, 120, and 600 frames, then repeated with a fresh self-contained editor profile: 6/6 crashes, each using a fresh project. No scene, script, or WS3D node is needed.

Matching stack from master:

Node::queue_free (scene/main/node.cpp:3478)
ChannelPackerDialog::`scalar deleting destructor'
Node::_notification (scene/main/node.cpp:304)
WorldScape3DMenu::_notification_backwardv (modules/worldscape_3d/editor/menu.h:46)
predelete_handler (core/object/object.cpp:2353)
SceneTree::_flush_delete_queue (scene/main/scene_tree.cpp:1610)
SceneTree::finalize (scene/main/scene_tree.cpp:862)

The original test binary at 7d4d64c also crashes 3/3. This PR's build at 01d462e exits 0 with empty stderr for all three frame counts (built with tests=yes additionally).
