[Bug] Can not Create Project in Engine Folder

General Feedback & Requests

Version: 1578757

Install Location: G:/Rocket (secondary hard-drive)

Specs: i5-3570k, 32 GB RAM, GTX 680, Windows 8 Pro, UAC Off

Repro Steps:

  1. Open Rocket Editor and make a New Project
  2. In the window, set folder to G:/Rocket/Engine
  3. I set my project name to “TestProject” ( I don’t think this step matters as much)
  4. Check “Make code files”
  5. Click ‘Create Project’

Result

In the compiler log: “ERROR: Rocket: No modules found to build?”
In project window: “Failed to compile G:/Rocket/Engine/TestProject/TestProject.uproject”

I can create projects in any other folder (like “My Documents” or my external hard drive). I’m kind of assuming that I’m not actually supposed to put any projects here so I guess having a clearer indication that you shouldn’t put any projects there would be good. Cheers!

Hi Michael. We’re trying to limit any modifications of the Engine folder as that contains the Rocket tool set. There are some arguments for changing this setup, so we’re rethinking this. At the very least, we agree that this error message needs to be more clear and actually tell you why project generation failed. Thanks!
