Can't Package "Non-editor build cannot depend on non-redistributable modules."

Development Programming & Scripting C++

I’m getting the following call stack when trying to package a product. I’ve spent several days trying to figure this out including confirming that each module packages fine in a clean project. It would help if there was any information at all as to what was causing the error since none of the editor modules should be included in packaging.

My Target.cs looks like

using UnrealBuildTool;

using System.Collections.Generic;

public class RPGPluginTestTarget : TargetRules

{

public RPGPluginTestTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)

{

Type = TargetType.Game;

ExtraModuleNames.Add(“RPGPluginTest”);

}

}

I’m using 4.21.2 on Mac OS Mojave
If anyone has any idea what is causing this I would be very grateful.

> ‘EditorStyle’, ‘EditorWidgets’, ‘Settings’, ‘SourceCodeAccess’, ‘SourceControl’, ‘CurveEditor’, ‘WorkspaceMenuStru
cture’,

You’re trying to package editor functionality for distribution. This is not permitted (or supported). It’s at LEAST these modules. Check your build.cs file and see if any of the modules you’ve included match those, or if any of the modules you depend on also depend on those.

I mean, this is what my Build.cs looks like. I’ve tested each of the plugins individually in a clean project which doesn’t seem to have any problem packaging…How can I find which file is including the editor modules?

using UnrealBuildTool;

public class RPGPluginTest : ModuleRules

{

public RPGPluginTest(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)

{

PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;

PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string] { “Core”, “CoreUObject”, “Engine”, “InputCore”, “Http”, “Json”, “JsonUtilities”, “Slate”, “SlateCore”,“Voxel”,“RPGEngineToolKit”,“RuntimeMeshComponent”,“AIModule”,“FMODStudio”,“MIDIFile”,“OBJPool”});

}

}
