Xcode does not recognize ue4 methods after indexing

[anonymous_user_f288c400]

Seems like the whole reference system has been broken for some reason. Xcode is unable to recognize UE4 methods and files( for instance, can’t locate engine header files when using #include ), but it still shows the engine’s project file in the outliner:

xcode can compile the project properly, but i cant program without hints and references

cant even deal with the class definitions

the engine still funcitons well

Hi ,

This sounds very similar to this post. Are you referring to the same thing that post is talking about?

exactly

And i cant open the header file with “jump to definition”

Does the Jump to Definition option fail for you every time, or just the first time you select it?

[anonymous_user_f288c400]

it fails everytime, and xcode does not provide hints or references anymore

Unlucky mate. I’m having an issue with xCode where it won’t let me redeclare a constructor.

Unfortunately I am still having some trouble consistently reproducing this issue. When I first open the project, Xcode has some trouble finding some definitions, but as it completes the indexing process the Jump to Definition option starts working reliably for me. I have a few more questions for you.

• Are you using the binary version of the Engine installed by the Launcher, or did you build the Engine from source code?
• If you are using the binary version, did you also install the Engine source code as part of the binary installation?
• Do you see this happen in a brand new project as well? If so, could you provide the exact steps that you are following when you create the project?
• What version of Xcode are you using (I have Version 8.1 (8B62))?

im using a binary version which was downloaded through the launcher, but im not sure whether the engine source code was included, and this mess took place after i had re-installed the engine. i’ll re-download the engine version.
this also happens to a brand new project, and we’re using the same version of xcode

this is really nasty can’t code anything with this problem now

Re-downloaded the engine with its source and solved it

Hi ,

I am glad to hear that resolved the issue for you. I was not completely sure that would help, but I thought that if the source hadn’t been downloaded it would most likely result in an issue similar to what you were experiencing.
