Values can't be watched in Blueprint Function Libraries

Create a Function Library
Create a function, set an input of an integer
Do a print statement
Set a breaktpoint on print statement (or return node)

Set watches, and values cannot be watched at runtime. No Debug objects in list either.

Hi ,

Thanks for report! This is a known issue in 4.8 and 4.9, which we have entered as a bug report (UE-20846). I’ll add your notes to report and post here if I see any update on it. Thanks!

Hi ,

Just to follow on from what said, there is a planned iteration due on debugging tools for blueprints to try and improve tools and remove problems like this. At moment I’m currently collecting issues until schedules allow this work to start but it should be soon and I’ll try and tackle annoying workflow issues like this first once it does start.

Cheers!

Yep thanks. This is a biggie TBH. As applications grow, so does complexity. Macro libs and Function libs are fantastic as they allow to abstract out large chunks of functionality. However debugging them is a b_.
