I would love to be able to supply a shell command / batch file at the end of a job kicked off through the Project Launcher. This way I can have the project launcher kick off a chain of automata I’ve made. This would be great for kicking off builds from the editor and then doing advanced deployments.
Instead you have to decipher the command line operations to facilitate the ProjectLauncher options yourself to handle cooking and deploying, and lose the ease of configuration through the UI.
Are you referring to automation testing? If so, have you tried Unreal FrontEnd? This feature allows you to create and customize automation tests that you can determine when to run. Check out the page here to see if this is what you are looking for:
This feature would appear in the left “Launcher” tab you have shown as the first image on those docs.
I’d like to have a “custom” step after deploy, or even after Launch, at the end of the Project Launcher package toolchain.
Cook->Package->Deploy->Custom->Launch (The Package step is present in earlier/different UIs)
The Visual equivalent to this is called Post Build Event, which allows you to run an arbitrary command after an engine compile (i.e. update a web script / call a Jenkins job / etc)
Hopefully that makes more sense. However the automation testing docs are quite interesting.
