Can not package shipping builds when enable ScriptableToolsFramework plugin in UE5.7.0

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hi, There is a problem when packaging a shipping build in UE5.7.0. Here is how to repro it:

  1. Using UE5.7.0 to create a C++ project.
  2. Enable ScriptableToolsFramework plugin in that project.
  3. Try to build the shipping game.

So if you build the shipping game, it will immediately raise an error saying that “Non-editor build cannot depend on non-redistributable modules“. Building development game is ok.

So I searched this error in the whole solution and found that UBT reports “License Violations“ error.

Also I can not override “Target.bCheckLicenseViolations = false“ in project’s build.cs file because it is read-only.

So how can I solve this problem? Many Thanks!!!

After debugging the UBT process, I found that I can override the “IsRedistributableOverride” in all the modules which are non-redistributable to true. I am not sure if this is a good solution because there might be “License Violations” but anyway this will make shipping builds compile.

It seems only source code engine builds that modifing the build.cs files will work. On installed engine builds, changing these (setting IsRedistributableOverride to true) will not package shipping games.
