nils-soderman / vscode-unreal-python Goto Github PK

Some functions like show message box are returned without pop a dialog, is it possible to execute with -unattended args?

Hi Nils,

I would like to request that you update the documentation to explain how it would be possible to debug code and also get code auto completion working please.

Please add:

1. Enable "Python Editor Script plugin" in the Unreal plugins
2. In project settings "Enable remote execution" need to be ticked

I can run code in unreal now using CTRL + Enter from VS code which is really cool ! But I do not understand what you mean by
Command: "Unreal Python: Setup code completion"
or
Command: Unreal Python: Attach

I have tried to run that in CMD and using CTRL + R in the VS code editor window. And have also tried to run that from the Unreal Engine Python command prompt but nothing seems to connect and I do not see any code completion when I type for example

import unreal

"unreal." then hit CTRL + Space to prompt for code completion
Or
"unreal.lo" then hit CTRL + Space to prompt for unreal.log("")

Hope that makes sense. Would appreciate any help to get this working it looks like a super useful addon.

Allow the attached debugger to debug installed python libraries used by your scripts.
Using the justMyCode configuration parameter when launching the unreal attached debug session.

So installed python libraries can be debugged along with your own python code, which can be useful in certain scenarios.

After I switch my ue5.2 project to ue5.3, vscode command Select Instance cannot find my opened ue project, 5.2 is fine, any one encountered save problem?

Would it be possible to implement remote code execution from WSL2 as well?
I've never worked with VSCode extensions, maybe with some guidance I can help implement it.

EDIT: I've been able to connect to the Windows UE5 instance from WSL2, changing TTL to 2 in the plugin and extension settings. Even so, when I try to run a script file, the UE5 output log displays:

LogPython: Error: Traceback (most recent call last):
LogPython: Error:   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
LogPython: Error: OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '/home/richardnm/.vscode-server/extensions/nilssoderman.ue-python-1.1.0/python/execute/vscode_execute_entry.py'

It seems that it has the root for file execution on Windows, trying to access the WSL Ubuntu /home/... directory.

Does this work in UE 5.3 ? I am having no success in attaching . However I am able to get this running in 5.2 .

Hi Nils,
When I run the code, the output is displayed normally in UE, but not in vscode. However, the screenshot you provided shows that yours is normal. May I ask where I went wrong?

When creating simple test GUI with PySide2, a single button that prints a string, it wont print anything until I close the GUI. Same thing with Tkinter. Tried also threading and what not. Is this issue on the Unreal side?

Solved by removing sys.exit(myApp.exec_())

Hello there!
I am having a timed-out connection problem while I am trying to execute the python code on VSCode. I'd never had this issue before and succesfully ran a lot of scripts so far. I can also run the script from UE5 , too (Tools>Python>Execute Python Script...). Could you please help me on how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Hey,

I started a similar plugin some time ago. yours is much more complete than mine. If you want to get rid of the python part for the communication, I ported their code to TS here https://github.com/francoisgfx/remote_execution.ts

cheers,

F.

I cannot import classes or def functions like this
from myOtherFile import utilityABC

I was wondering what the best solution is to import my own custom python files from the same directory or even sub directory with this extension?

I can do this just fine outside of vscode and the stub system everything works great but the interpreter in vscode along with the Unreal remote execution does not seem to handle importing local files in the same way.

Hopefully you have a solution as this will make my code a lot more readable.

I have this issue when I start the code completion command in vscode.
"Timed out while trying to connect to Unreal Engine."
The UE 5.1.1 is running, python plugin enabled.

VS code to UE 5.4 connection attempt fails. I have tried to dispatch the connection by changing the 1) "Remote mutlicast group endpint" => 239.0.0.1:6767 2) Remote: Multicast Bind Address => "0.0.0.0". Im not sure what the Remote: Command Endpoint should be. At this point, I have set it to 0.0.0.0:6767. Made sure the "remote muticast" values match in both vscode/UE5.4. Unfortuntaely, the connection issue is still not resolved.

Please let us know if the current version is compatible with UE5.4.

Kindly help.

Best Regards
