Hi
My tool chain is visual studio 2019 and ue5.
The plugin is in a custom path not project or engine.
I set the path using [AdditionalPluginDirectories] option inside my project file.
The project and plugin work ok for builds.
However i get a lot of plugin path related warnings during build, an example below
UnrealBuildTool : warning : File D:\Development\Projects\Learn\Unreal\DevPlugin\UserPlugins\DevPluginB\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UnrealEditor\DebugGame\DevPluginB\Module.DevPluginB.gen.cpp.obj is not under any action history root directory
Theses warnings are many proably for each file in plugin, and they add noise to build results making it hard to spot error information.
However what’s really a big problem for me is the fact that from my project in debug, i cannot access plugin code. There are no plugin symbol information.
My top priority is to be able to debug my project and plugin together, secondary priority is getting rid of the warnings spam mentioned above.
Below is more detailed output of warning spam
