Cannot install RiderLink plugin

[andgeno]

Hi,

I've been waiting for the latest update to fix all the issues for when trying to install the RiderLink plugin. However, it still does not fix it for me.

This is what I get when I select the Install in Engine option from the Event Log window:

Here is what the log file says when the error occurs:

--- EXCEPTION #1/1 [LoggerException]
Message = “Failed to build RiderLink for any available project”

This is my setup:

• Windows 10
• Visual Studio 2019 Community
• Rider for Unreal Engine 2020.2 // Build #RDCPPP-202.5958.481, built on July 15, 2020
• Unreal 4.24 project
• I have installed UE 4.21 to 4.25 in parallel
• I have double-checked that the registry keys point to the correct UE4 directories (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EpicGames\Unreal Engine\...)
• The UE4 plugin RiderSourceCodeAccess is installed but for UE 4.24 only

Hi @andgeno! Would be really nice if you could share the whole folder with logs, plus try this one:

1. Find RiderLink.zip in Rider for Unreal Engine installation folder; example: if Rider is installed in D:\JetBrains\Rider for Unreal Engine 2020.2, RiderLink.zip will be at D:\JetBrains\Rider for Unreal Engine 2020.2\plugins\UnrealLink\EditorPlugin\RiderLink.zip. To find Rider installation folder, please use the menuHelp | Diagnostic Tools | Special Files and Folders or Help | Diagnostic Tools | Browse special paths....
2. Unzip RiderLink.zip to any place outside of Unreal Engine installation or Game project example C:/tmp/RiderLink
3. Run from cmd: {EngineRoot}/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.bat BuildPlugin -Plugin="C:/tmp/RiderLink/RiderLink.uplugin" -Package="C:/tmp/RiderLink_Package" -Rocket
4. Check if it builds or not. 4.1 If it doesn't build, send build logs here 4.2 If it builds fine, try to place plugin into {GameProject}/Plugins/Developer/RiderLink folder and try to run project

Hi, I was able to find the problem by running the command you provided in a CMD console.

There was a compile error caused by a Marketplace addon. So I removed the plugin temporarily and it fixed the issues with Rider. :-)

It would be useful to get the whole console log of the compile process printed out somewhere so users don't have to run that compile command manually.

[marshal-it]

after Run cmd also have some errors

I'm having this issue too. @DecoyRS I tried your steps but hit a build error.

ParallelExecutor.ExecuteActions:   C:/temp/RiderLink_Package/HostProject/Plugins/RiderLink/Source/RiderBlueprintExtension/Private/BlueprintProvider.cpp(42): error C2065: 'path': undeclared identifier
ParallelExecutor.ExecuteActions:   C:/temp/RiderLink_Package/HostProject/Plugins/RiderLink/Source/RiderBlueprintExtension/Private/BlueprintProvider.cpp(42): error C2661: 'FMessageEndpoint::Publish': no overloaded function takes 2 arguments

I've attached the build log. Log.txt

Here is my setup:

I fixed the compile error by changing line 42 of BlueprintProvider.cpp from: messageEndpoint->Publish(new FAssetEditorRequestOpenAsset(path), EMessageScope::Process); to: messageEndpoint->Publish(new FAssetEditorRequestOpenAsset(AssetPathName), EMessageScope::Process);

Looks like the variable was renamed and never compiled against older versions of Unreal.

#if ENGINE_MAJOR_VERSION == 4 && ENGINE_MINOR_VERSION <= 23
    FAssetEditorManager::Get();
    messageEndpoint->Publish(new FAssetEditorRequestOpenAsset(AssetPathName), EMessageScope::Process);
#else

So far, most of the issues with installing RiderLink has been solved, and latest version of plugin (coming with R4UE 2021.1) will have a dedicated panel for logs of installing RiderLink plugin, showing all the problems in convenient manner. There's still one issue that we're investigating, but it'll have a separate thread as "cannot install RiderLink plugin" renders to be too broad of a topic.
