Live coding error

Development Programming & Scripting C++

#1

Hi, i am coding in ue but when i try to compile it gives me an unspecified error, it just says "Patch could not be activated at the end of compilation without errors or warnings.
I cannot figure out why, but i think it has something to do with the compiler c# files, so i’ll write them here
Note that this project is still pretty small, i just started it.

attritionEditor.Target.cs

using UnrealBuildTool;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class attritionEditorTarget : TargetRules
{
	public attritionEditorTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
	{
		Type = TargetType.Editor;
		DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V2;
		IncludeOrderVersion = EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Latest;

		ExtraModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "attrition" });
	}
}

attrition.Target.cs

using UnrealBuildTool;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class attritionTarget : TargetRules
{
	public attritionTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
	{
		Type = TargetType.Game;
		DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V2;
		IncludeOrderVersion = EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Latest;

		ExtraModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "attrition" });
	}
}

attrition.Build.cs

using UnrealBuildTool;

public class attrition : ModuleRules
{
	public attrition(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
	{
		PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;

		PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(
			new string[] {
				"attrition"
			}
		);

		PrivateIncludePaths.AddRange(
			new string[] {
			}
		);

		PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "HeadMountedDisplay", "ModularGameplay" });

		DynamicallyLoadedModuleNames.AddRange(
			new string[] {
			}
		);

		// Generate compile errors if using DrawDebug functions in test/shipping builds.
		PublicDefinitions.Add("SHIPPING_DRAW_DEBUG_ERROR=1");
	}
}

Thanks in advance

Hi Pelaculi,

Try compiling from Visual Studio with your project closed first to see if you still get any errors.

If you do, they should be in the VS compiler log…

#3

It works w/o unreal??

#4

There is a “.sln” file in the same folder as your project - that’s the Visual Studio project file which you can double click to open in Visual Studio (without your project open in UE).

You can build that without unreal running, and when you execute it - the Unreal Editor will start up with your project loaded.

#5

when i try to start up after the compilation is says

The game module ‘attrition’ could not be loaded. There may be an operating system error, the module may not be properly set up, or a plugin which hash been included into the build has not been turned on

What do i do now?

#6

There’s a good post here about that (isgoed’s answer):

i did all the passages there, but there was no error when i switched to development editor and when i open the debug output it shows nothing

#8

You mention your project is still small - perhaps it would be easiest to start a new project and slowly add your code over to the new project?
