I’m encountering an odd issue with Visual Studio Community 2022 and unreal.
I can’t save the Mover.cpp file after editing it normally. It happens at random and says that the file is in use.
I’ve tried to refresh the code in Unreal, I’ve tried closing VS, sometimes I get a build error (Mind the file has not been edited since last build) saying “No permission” which then just goes away after compiling again. The most odd thing is when I try to restart the Unreal editor, the C++ class just disappears in Unreal, the files are still there on my computer but not in the editor.
I’m not using VS Code because I couldn’t get its intellisense to work properly. I knew this probably was going to cause problems but so far, I’ve been able to solve them, except this one
To answer your questions, I don’t have another editor opened, and the issue seems to randomly appear. Sometimes after compiling other times, I don’t even touch unreal. I’m sure that something causes it to happen I’m just unable to pin it to one thing that I’m doing. I did use Live Coding and I’m not sure how to compile in VS do you happen to know how?
Also I have now tried to recreate the issues I’ve had, but now it won’t create the component at all. It will create the files on my pc, again, but the component is not in the content browser. Here’s what I’m doing:
Delete any existing Mover.ccp and Mover.h
Adding new c++ component named Mover
VS opens and unreal tries to compile c++ but fails
