[ISSUE][DOCS] Extend the Editor Tutorial: Unexpected long build time of Gem #1768

Open chanmosq opened 2 years ago

chanmosq commented 2 years ago

Describe the issue

The instructions in this documentation prompt the user to build a Gem. However, the build time was longer than expected, which may be due to a rebuild of the whole engine, rather than just a Gem.

This issue is to test the instructions in the doc and update the command to build if needed.

This issue is related to https://github.com/o3de/o3de.org/issues/1769, concerning a lack of guidance on building, testing, and troubleshooting code Gems.

Expected experience

Only the created Gem is built, which shouldn't take as long as rebuilding the engine.

Good time to have a SIG discussion about writing policy around "how much you can say about how long things take", because there are sometimes legal obligations with partners or the foundation where they could be held liable for claims.
