but the file exists, look:

:~$ echo $?

I am on Ubuntu 18.04, with Unreal Editor 4.19.2, I can not use the lates version because It fails to build

“Unreal Projects” leads to ERROR: System.ArgumentException: File names may not be terminated by a path separator character

as far I know you cant have space to engine or project directory names

4

That is not the problem, I created a Project where the full path has no spaces,and I got the same error
Also, there is no setting to change de default Projects path

5

Same error with project without space

“That is not the problem, I created a Project where the full path has no spaces,and I got the same error

In your attempt to zip pack the project what I said is the issue!

The project can be in any directory, anywhere and can be changed (using the file explorer).

Looking at the log it looks more like a access permission errors.
Was the project folder or engine compiled or run with elevated permission?

Another thing to remember is before you pack a project you should remove the DerivedDataCache, Intermediate, Saved folders in the project directory and rightclick on the MyProject.uproject and generate project files. Start the project and filter in the output log (type waring or error) to see if there is any warnings or errors. Solve if it is a serious issue and then pack.
