The few guides I found were not bad by any means, but I felt like they were skipping over some basic stuff in favor of more advanced automation setups. Since I didn't find a whole lot of guides combining Jenkins and Unreal on the web, I thought I would make one myself and let my fellow developers avoid the mistakes I made. Even though I had never tried to make Jenkins work with Unreal Engine before, I knew it would save us a lot of time and problems down the road. This is why I absolutely wanted to have automation before even starting to work on Astral Tides.

Finally, you can successively build for multiple configurations (圆4, x86, Development, Shipping) and send them to the appropriate people.

First and foremost, it ensures that the team almost always has access to the latest build without having to lose their precious time building it.Īlso, if a developer finds a bug, having a build independant of individual development configurations can tell us if the bug is in the depot or only on his machine. As developers, automation is a very powerful tool to have for many reasons.
