Randomly stopped packaging my config files

I am looking for some help with a random error I encountered. Does anyone have any ideas why Unreal would suddenly be excluding all my config files from the packaging process?

I am using Unreal 4.23 from the Oculus repo.

Everything has been packaging just fine up until now. I successfully built the game. A process I do at least 20 times a day on this very same project. Never once encountered an issue running build via frontend.

I finished my edits. Saved everything. Then closed the editor and opened Frontend separately. The game built successfully. I closed Frontend and navigated to the oput folder.

I then ran the VRC Validator tool from Oculus on the new game folder. Deleting the output folder since I needed to make changes and that copy of the game was no longer valid. Again this is my standard workflow.

I Went back into the editor and added some nodes via blueprint that hide the mesh of the hands when Oculus home was open. I made no other changes.

I then saved everything and went to package the game again.

At this point I noticed it will no longer pack the project config files.

I am positive the nodes I added have no impact on the config files being packaged.

To confirm it was not the new nodes I detached them and tried to compile again. Still excluding the config files. Really at a loss now. Nothing else was changed…

Update.

This is now happening with every single Unreal project.

I have tried to rebuild the Engine, Frontend, and Lightmass.

Any advice or suggestions would be most welcome. We are at a complete standstill now.

Update

After extensive testing, I now know this error happens on every single project I try to package.

Any advice would be appreciated. We are at a complete stand still now.

Thank you. I have submitted via that system as well. I was not sure the response time so posted here to hopefully find a community member who say something like “Hey you forgot to do this simple thing how could you possibly miss that” or offer up a solution :slight_smile:

Bug support got back to me very quickly though. We are working with them now to resolve the problem :slight_smile:
