Can't see blueprint function library functions

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

  1. Locate the “.uproject” file for your project in your project’s root directory.
  2. Open the “.uproject” file in a text editor such as notepad ++
  3. Locate the “Modules” section OR (if the “Modules” section is not present) add it in the following format:
"Modules": [
    {
        "Name": "MyModule",
        "Type": "Runtime",
        "LoadingPhase": "Default",
	    "AdditionalDependencies": [
		    "Engine"
	    ]
    }
]
  1. Replace “MyModule” with the name of the module you want to add, in this case the folder in which your blueprint function library class exists.
  2. Save the changes to the “.uproject” file.
  3. Reopen your project in Unreal Editor to ensure that the module is loaded.

I add this because it stumped me a good while and maybe someone else can benefit.
Don’t forget to add , after the section of [] if you’re inserting this before the rest of what’s in your .uproject file.
I have no idea why this works or if also requires the target.cs and build.cs stuff to also be done (mentioned elsewhere).

I would have assumed, if you add C++ to a project from inside unreal editor, the module lines required would be added automatically. I used chatgpt to figure this out; it solved the problem for me, but I can’t say it’s an official step.

I happened to look up the official info on modules, and the same solution is there (scroll down):
Unreal Engine Modules | Unreal Engine 4.27 Documentation.
