Unreal Engine 5: Packaging Lyra from Source Error

Development Platform & Builds
, ,
1

Hello there!
I have been trying to package Lyra from a source build of Unreal Engine 5 because I want to see if I can get it online with the LyraGameEOS target.

However, I seem to be unable to get Lyra packaging from this UE5 source build at all, even on the LyraGame target due to UAT issues. I’ve only been able to build Lyra from the prebuilt version of UE5 thus far.

It seems that UAT is having trouble finding the AutomationUtils.Automation.dll. I’ve tried building the AutomationUtils C# project with the various Development solution configurations, and after building, I have checked to see that the AutomationUtils.Automation.dll is present.

It seems like UAT is possibly searching the wrong directory for it, but it could also be an error on my part. I’m not quite sure how to see where UAT is checking for the .dll.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was able to fix the error by re-creating the Lyra project.

I thought it was due to my UE5 source build’s compilation, but I found out it was project-specific when I built out the FPS sample project with my source build.

This issue may have been caused by me doing a convert-in-place of my Lyra project from my launcher build to my source build of the engine.

What did you have to do to correct this? What did you use instead of convert-in-place?

I just let the editor create a copy instead of converting in place.
I think I read in the changelog for the 5.0.2 version of Lyra that they fixed this anyhow though.
