Issue description

I tested the new --import option to remove the Godot cache rebuild hack.
But it shows still the same plugin loading errors when using in combination with --build-solutions
$GODOT_BIN --path ./ --import --build-solutions --headless

Using the options in separate calls works without showing any errors.

 $GODOT_BIN --path ./ --import --headless
Godot Engine v4.2.2.stable.mono.official.15073afe3 - https://godotengine.org
Loading GdUnit4 Plugin success
Unload GdUnit4 Plugin success

 $GODOT_BIN --path ./ --build-solutions --headless
Godot Engine v4.2.2.stable.mono.official.15073afe3 - https://godotengine.org
Loading GdUnit4 Plugin success

And both option do loading the plugins, but it should only reimport resources or compile the c# classes.
More critical is the usage of --build-solutions --headless it runs editor forever and needs to be manually killed.
From the documentation:

--build-solutions Build the scripting solutions (e.g. for C# projects). Implies --editor and requires a valid project to edit.

It is not a build only it runs the editor too.

Steps to reproduce

run this command

 rm -rf .godot
 $GODOT_BIN --path ./ --import --build-solutions --headless

The editor finally hangs, I would expect the process to do only reimport and compile the c# classes.
Even if it is expected that with --build-solutions the editor started it produces the errors and makes --import useless

 rm -rf .godot
 $GODOT_BIN --path ./ --import --build-solutions

at least using --import --headless shows also the errors

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

n/a

[Hilderin]

After some testing, I was able to reproduce this problem.
Just delete the .godot folder and execute the command line: --path ./ --import --build-solutions --headless

MRP project:
TestGodotImportBuildCommandLine.zip

I'm pretty certain that the problem is caused by the fact that the global_script_class_cache.cfg file does not exist so global classes are not loaded when trying to import and compile all in one shot.

I tried the same project and command line with the fix from #92303 it worked perfectly.

[MikeSchulze]

@Hilderin thanks for the feedback 👍

[DanielKinsman]

I get the same behaviour with the plain gdscript version and the godot-jolt add on installed, it hangs forever the first time.

It also doesn't matter if I use godot --headless --editor --quit or godot --headless --import, same behaviour.

[Hilderin]

I tested on 4.3 master branch and I'm able to reproduce the problem with a bare project with only one scene and the godot-jolt addon.

I also tested the same project with the PR #93972 and removing the .godot folder and the command line does not hang anymore. I tested --headless --editor --quit and --headless --import on Windows 11 with the console.exe.

MRP (I removed the android and ios library of jolt to fit in a zip less then 25mo):
test-godot-jolt-addon.zip

[pewcworrell]

I'm also having this issue while running with --import-only --headless.
