[Beginner] Editor Compile Errors. Error: UBT Error: Failed to produce item

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hi,

How do I deal with compile errors in the editor? The error message is pretty vague. Error: UBT Error: Failed to produce item

Is there any way to see what it was that caused it to fail?

Also, where is the log saved to disk?

Check the ‘Output’ window in Visual Studio. UBT will describe the error there. I find the ‘Error Results’ window easier to read, so I only go to the Output window when the error message is vague like in your example.

There are no errors in the IDE output (Kdevelop, not VS). It builds and says all is ok.

Target is up to date.
*** Finished ***

Huh. If it says that, there should be no problem? Are you saying that you get an error message but the log says it built successfully?

Yes, so I went back through the code and had doubled up on a function definition,
