AutomationUtils.Automation.csproj migration to 5.6

[ali.quaker (quakesy)]

Migrating my project from 5.1 to 5.6, it does’nt work out of the box.

My project has some C++ support and after converting the project to 5.6 and opening it, it tells me that I need to rebuild the sources in Visual Studio.

I said okay, yeah, let me do it, but i get a weird error related to AutomationUtils:

I have no idea how to deal with this or even debug this. i odnt even know how the AutomationTool works (or what that beast even does)

Oh, i just consulted chatgpt about my error and it walked me throught the issues.

For anyone running into any Unreal related problem, just go to chatgpt and give it this prompt:

”You are an expert in C++, Unreal Engine, DotNet and all things related to Unreal Engine 5 environment.” 

And start giving it your build logs.

I solved this issue with a couple of steps:

1. Nuget package update in VS2022.
   Since my first warning/error was about ImageMagick package vulnerability, i simply went to VS 2022 , Project > Manage NuGet packages> Installed > check show only vulnerable

This got rid of that problem.
2. Then I was getting these warnings that my source include order is still 5.1 and CPP standard not 20. So i fixed all that in my Project.target.cs file:

	//DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V2;
	//IncludeOrderVersion = EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Unreal5_1;

    DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V5;
    IncludeOrderVersion = EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Unreal5_6;
    CppStandard = CppStandardVersion.Cpp20;

My old values are commented out.

This got my solution building successfully,

Hello there @ali.quaker!

Checking your extensive log with my peers, this seems to be a cascading problem, with three main points. Let’s cover them one by one:

1. The Magick.NET component is being flagged as vulnerable, most likely due a security check failure, or an outdated component:

error NU1902: Warning As Error: Package 'Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU' 14.7.0 has a known moderate severity vulnerability
error NU1903: Warning As Error: Package 'Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU' 14.7.0 has a known high severity vulnerability

2. The previous conflict makes part of the Automation process fail, and certain .dlls are never created during the build:

error CS0006: Metadata file '...\AutomationUtils.Automation.dll' could not be found
error CS0006: Metadata file '...\VisionOS.Automation.dll' could not be found

3. Finally, the whole editor collapses:

BaseEditor modifies the values of properties: [ bStrictConformanceMode: False != True ]. 
This is not allowed, as BaseEditor has build products in common with UnrealEditor.

In order to fix the issue, you should either bypass the NuGet security check, or update it’s components, following the steps from the thread below:

500×500 2.84 KB

“This solution contains packages with vulnerabilities. Manage NuGet Packages" Installing UE5.4 from source. Setup.bat > GenerateFiles.bat > project.sh file > set Development / Win64 Warning message on the top right leading to Nuget packages manager. Installing, updating, or uninstalling these Nuget packages in the manager don’t work. Also tried searching the packages via Edit > Find & Replace > manually changing the version number (ex: 6.0.3 manually replaced w/ 9.0.3). Don’t work built so…

Alternatively, you can clear your project’s cache via the following steps:

• Close Visual Studio and UE Editor completely

• Delete these folders** from your project:

  • Binaries/
  • Intermediate/
  • Saved/

• Right-click your .uproject file > “Generate Visual Studio project files”

• Open the new .sln file and try building again

---

EDIT: I see you found a solution already, glad you were able to resolve the problem

Many thanks for your reply.

I managed to update Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU (and its dependency Magick.NET.Core) from 14.7.0 → 14.8.1, Using “Project>manage Nuget packages“ inside VS 2022.

That took care of that issue.

And as i said afterwards i still ran into a couple of problems with my project settings, since I was migrating from UE 5.1 to 5.6.

So i tired the build command from the commandline:

“C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.6\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat” BaseEditor Win64 Development -Project=“C:\Unreal Projects\Base 5.6\Base.uproject” -WaitMutex -Verbose

And i got this error, which i fixed with the changes i posted in my previous comment, just before your message.
