Packaging failed: Datasmith error

[Ixiguis]

I get the error below when packaging a project.

It’s a project that I’ve been working on since 4.19 I think. It was imported using Datasmith 4.19.

It used to package without problems on UE 4.20.3. Now this is my first attempt to package this project after updating to 4.21.1, and I got this error.

Full log attached.

I’ve got the exact issue and exact same circumstances.
Attempting to build my project since yesterday with various known workarounds, always get this error though.

Any luck fixing yet?

[Stephen_Ellis]

I don’t believe that we have a prior awareness of this issue. In order for us to properly investigate, you may need to report this issue at the linked form, and provide your project so that we may reproduce.

Thank you.

I have filed the bug report as Stephen suggested and will update here when I have news.

[spazfirem]

I ran into packaging issues last night with a 4.21 project as well. WIndows and Android platforms were fine, but iOS gave me a similar, but slightly different issue relating to Datasmith.

To get past it, I opened up the .uproject file with a text editor and removed the “enterprise: true” line near the top and removed the datasmith plugins from the project settings. It worked, but now I have cert issues which should be completely unrelated, but who knows.

There’s a few answerhub posts about the enterprise: true thing, maybe give that shot. (backup the .uproject file though to be safe)

I tried that and unfortunately didn’t work for me, thanks for the suggestion though.

[Van_Metre_NH]

I know this error has been submitted as a bug report but does it have an UE-[00000] issue number yet?

[Ixiguis]

I don’t know about that, but I got a reply from the studio team, they could reproduce the issue and are currently investigating it.

[Van_Metre_NH]

Even now I’m still getting this build error. Has anyone made progress with a solve or workaround?
I know the studio team is investigating but I have a pressing deadline.

[Ixiguis]

Nope, still waiting for news from the studio team.

[Stephen_Ellis]

There were delays over the holiday, but our team has confirmed the issue and logged it here for further review and resolution - Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-68059)

[Ixiguis]

Umm, I received an email today saying the issue was resolved, but looking at the above link, it still shows Unresolved. So what’s the status?

[Stephen_Ellis]

Hi Jefferson.

The email you received was about your support ticket being closed, but the issue itself has not been fixed yet. Support tickets for bug reports are typically closed when we confirm the issue and log an internal bug report for it. You can then follow the internal bug report to track the status. Your support ticket had been kept open for longer than normal, which I’m sure led to the confusion.

Depending on the issues that get reported to us, it may sometimes take months for a bug to get fixed. We avoid unnecessarily keeping the support tickets open for that duration.

Cheers

I found a workaround!

1. Open the project, and disable all Unreal Studio-related plugins.
2. Close the editor, edit the uproject file, set Enterprise to false
3. Open the editor and check the message log. If any BP uses any function that depends on Datasmith, disable (remove / unpin) these functions
4. Open the levels you want to package. Re-save any asset that shows up with errors in the message log. Or simply ight-click the Content folder (in Content browser) and select Resave All
5. Package

However, you’ll lose all metadata from your meshes (permanently I guess), and functions that rely on Datasmith won’t work.

PS. I am not completely sure step 4 is necessary. Try skipping it at first.

Thanks, Ill try this today and see if it makes a change.

This worked! Thank you so much for sharing. Guess ill have to find another non-datasmith import workflow for now. My deadline was the 20th so this came right when I needed it. Ill stay to see when the proper fix comes though.
