How to fix packaging errors after cloning a project?

Development Platform & Builds
,
1

I’ve cloned an architectural project I was working on so I could experiment with new lighting methods and also play with the new sun position plug-in. Turns out the new duplicte is better than the original but obviously now that i’ve cloned it the whole thing instantly fails when I go to package it.

Is there some good method to fix whatever is causing this? I imagine it’s something to do with the orginal project name being referanced wrong, now that the original file name has a ‘2’ after the name.

Below is the log after the fail, which happens pretty much right away. Any tips would be great!!

I managed to fix this at last but will leave the thread in case anyone else needs it.

My fix was in the project folder in - intermediate/source there are 3 files with .build .cpp and .cs extensions. For some reason there were 3 version of the old filename and 3 versions of the new file name. Deleting the 3 with the old file name fixed the package error.

Not sure why they would be copied with old filename and not renamed during project clone but UE4 is funny like that ay.

Thank goodness this is documented here. I was frustrated that I got this error after changing my project’s name.

Thanks so much! Sometimes it helps also to delete ‘Saved’, ‘Build’ and ‘Binaries’.
