Ok, thanks you @EblenMacari ! your video gave me hope it could be fixed!
I’ve found and what was wrong with the missing “auto completion” and missing “jump to definition” in my Unreal Xcode projects:
TL:DR; I was creating my projects in the folder ~/Documents/Unreal Projects which has a space and the command to index files was failing as it considered the file path as 2 different files due to the space.
I’ve moved all my projects to ~/Documents/UnrealProjects with no spaces and auto completion and jump to definition restarted working.
More info:
I was able to find the indexing errors by turning the indexing log on for Xcode with command line command:
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEIndexShowLog -bool YES
With this option on, you can see indexing logs in the “Report Navigator”
and click on the button at the right of the error to show the error details:
Even if now completion works for me, I still have several indexing errors but I’ve noticed I installed the engine in ~/dev/Epic Games/UE_5.3, with a space too, so I’ll try to reinstall it to a different folder without spaces and hope my experience with xcode will be better.
Hope this helps
