[4.7] UE4Editor-CodeView.dll error when updating 4.6 project

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Just downloaded and installed the 4.7 preview. Trying to upgrade a copy of my existing 4.6 project (Code and Blueprints). When update finishes, I get an error that reads

"The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version:

UE4Editor-CodeView.dll

Would you like to rebuild them now?"

And clicking Yes just fails with the error

“ProjectName could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.”

As I didn’t build UE4 from source, and would rather not, what’s the best fix here?

Hm, if i get this error, i open the project over the .sln file directly in VS and compile it there to open the editor.

Is this a C++ project?

You can also edit your project file (.uproject) and set “Enabled” to false under CodeView module section

This seems to have done it, thank you! For some reason all the foliage I ever deleted ended up coming back, so I’ll stick to 4.6 for now rather than delete trees one by one.

Hi kaitou,

The Code View plugin is currently not compatible with version 4.7 Preview. I have entered a ticket to have this issue investigated further (UE-7035). As TheDrunkenBunny mentioned, if the plugin is already enabled when upgrading a project to 4.7 Preview, you can disable the plugin by editing the .uproject file.

With regards to the foliage issue that you mentioned, we already have a ticket in place to investigate that as well (UE-7008).

Thanks a lot for letting me know! It’s actually quite hard to delete the foliage, since the world plane that it was on has been deleted, so the brush doesn’t work on it anymore.

In any case, I look forward to the fixes and to moving on over to 4.7!

I just wanted to provide you with an update on these issues. Both of the tickets have been closed and fixes should be present in 4.7 Preview 3. If you get a , please give that preview version a try and let us know if you are still running into these issues.

Thanks again ! I’ll be sure to give it a run in preview 3, appreciate you letting me know.

Those two issues are gone, thank you!
