Hey folks,
I’m trying to set up SubmitTool as part of my studio’s Perforce submit workflow, and an issue was raised by one of our members who is making changes to the Engine source. For context, this is in a Source engine build with a native project. We have not yet made our own SubmitTool.ini, so it’s all default settings for SubmitTool. We’re on the GitHub sources for Unreal Engine version 5.7.4, commit 260bb2e1c5610b31c63a36206eedd289409c5f11.
When running SubmitTool’s default validator, NonUnityAndStaticAnalysis, on a changelist with a checked out Engine source file, it will always fail with this message:
Error: [Non Unity + SA Validator (#1)]: Unhandled exception: DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '%P4Workspace%\Engine\Restricted\NotForLicensees\Binaries\Win64\AutoRTFM'.

The validator will only work when the changelist only contains files from %P4Workspace%/%ProjectName%/.... The error will still be thrown if the changelist has checked out files in both the Engine/... directory and the %ProjectName%/... directory.
To track down where this AutoRTFM requirement was being added, I tried breakpoint debugging UnrealBuildTool using the stack trace in the full log, but I was only able to ascertain that the requirement was coming from a different code path than the one in the stack trace.
I did some internet searching and in this forum, but haven’t seen any reports of this issue. Has anyone else encountered it?
