Disabling code optimisation for a module using BuildConfiguration.xml

Hello,

I would like to disable code optimisation for a specific module so that I can more easily step through the code. I can already do it by adding OptimizeCode = CodeOptimization.Never to my Build.cs file but now I would like to do it from BuildConfiguration.xml so that I can change build settings without touching the actual build files.

Looking at the documentation it looks like it is possible but I can’t figure out the correct syntax. The following does not work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
    <BuildConfiguration>
		<ModuleConfiguration>
			<DisableOptimizeCode>MyModule</DisableOptimizeCode>
		</ModuleConfiguration>
    </BuildConfiguration>
</Configuration>

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thank you

I looked at the XML schema generated by UnrealBuildTool and I was able to work out the correct syntax.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
	<ModuleConfiguration>
		<DisableOptimizeCode>
			<Item>NameOfAModule</Item>
			<Item>NameOfAnotherModule</Item>
		</DisableOptimizeCode>
	</ModuleConfiguration>
</Configuration>
