Could not find a part of the path DaeTestAutomationPluginAutomationTestFrameworkCommands.cpp.obj.response

[volvicTM]

Hello,

I am attempting to load the example project from file: ue4-rts-1.0.0 (https://github.com/npruehs/ue4-rts/archive/1.0.0.zip).

After I extract the folder, I go to ue4-rts-1.0.0 -> Source -> RTSProject -> Doubleclick RTSProject.uproject or Rightclick RTSProject.uproject -> generate vs code, then Doubleclick RTSProject.uproject but they result in the same error:

2>UnrealBuildTool : error : Unhandled exception: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Development\Resources\Unreal\ue4-rts\ue4-rts-1.0.0\Source\RTSProject\Plugins\DaedalicTestAutomationPlugin\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4Editor\Development\DaedalicTestAutomationPluginEditor\DaeTestAutomationPluginAutomationTestFrameworkCommands.cpp.obj.response'.

This is the same result ofr both 4.24 and 4.25 and both new and existing projects.

I downloaded the Dedalic Plugin, and set it up according to their github page, in a existing project and that seems to also not be building for me, also missing a file.

That's an odd one.

Can you provide more details, such as full build logs and/or a ZIP of your whole folder (without binaries)?

It appears to be due to a long location path, if I put it here:

D:\Development\Resources\Unreal\ue4-rts-1.0.0\ue4-rts-1.0.0\Source\RTSProject it results in the above error.

If I put it here:

C:\Users\Main\Desktop\RTSProject It builds and runs just fine. The file that was missing in the original issue, now appears after building.

My bad!
