Manifest.xml doesnt not exists when building from CLI

KerryGD · February 18, 2018, 12:01am

Hey everyone,

I am trying to automate the building process of our project. I followed a couple of guide but essentially this is what I have done:

Install Jenkins
Built the engine from the source code using this guide.
Configured jenkins using this guide

However, when I start the build from jenkins I get an error BUILD FAILED

ERROR: BUILD FAILED UBT Manifest C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\unreal\Intermediate/Build/Manifest.xml does not exist.

Which I don’t have if I build the project from the editor itself.

This error happens when this command get run:

"C:\Users\RenderBeast\Documents\repos\unreal\Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.bat" BuildCookRun -rocket -compile -compileeditor -installed -nop4 -project="%WORKSPACE%/[project_name].uproject" -cook -stage -archive -archivedirectory="%WORKSPACE%/temp/Development/x64" -package -clientconfig=Development -ue4exe=UE4Editor-Cmd.exe -clean -pak -prereqs -distribution -nodebuginfo -targetplatform=Win64 -build -utf8output

Where [project_name] is the name of our project. I have seen other thread about this problem, but none of them seems to get a proper answer or the answer does not fix my issue. My project at the moment only targets Windows for testing purposes but I would like to add Linux in the future.

This is the full error log:
