Change 2860393 on 2016/02/09 by Ben.Marsh
Add support for pre and post build steps for projects and plugin files. Steps are specified as a list of shell commands per-target platform, and are written to a shell script by UBT. Whenever the target is built, the pre-build steps are executed before UHT, and post-build steps are executed at the end.
The following target properties are expanded with UBT properties in the commands: $(EngineDir), $(ProjectDir), $(TargetName), $(TargetPlatform), $(TargetConfiguration), $(TargetType), $(ProjectFile), $(PluginDir).
Example JSON fragment:
"PreBuildSteps": {
"Win64": [
"echo EngineDir=$(EngineDir)",
"echo ProjectDir=$(ProjectDir)",
"echo TargetName=$(TargetName)",
"echo TargetPlatform=$(TargetPlatform)",
"echo TargetConfiguration=$(TargetConfiguration)",
"echo TargetType=$(TargetType)",
"echo ProjectFile=$(ProjectFile)",
"echo PluginDir=$(PluginDir)"
]
},

Add script to copy all UAT/UBT build products to another directory. To be used to avoid compiling multiple times on build system.
Change 2861087 on 2016/02/09 by Ben.Marsh
Allow UAT binaries compiled on the initial agent to be copied to all other agents in a build. Saves a lot of startup time on Mac, in particular.
Change 2861788 on 2016/02/10 by Ben.Marsh
Fix warnings and mangled notification email if triggers finish before all their jobsteps have been created.

Orion: Improve login screen on PC to reduce the potential impact of framerate on data center ping calculation
- Disabled async streaming for the duration of the QOS ping measurement to avoid hitches
- Added a circular throbber in the top left corner of the login screen indicating that something is async streaming (as a diagnostic tool for users affected by the datacenter ping, can be removed in the future)
- Added logging of the current average frame time when the datacenter ping is finalized
- Added a 'Pick Ideal Settings' button to the login screen (note: on the actual screen, not the login widget, so it will not appear on PS4)

Generated native code for AnimBPGC - some preliminary changes.
Refactor: UAnimBlueprintGeneratedClass is not accessed directly in runtime. It is accessed via UAnimClassInterface interface.
Properties USkeletalMeshComponent::AnimBlueprintGeneratedClass and UInterpTrackFloatAnimBPParam::AnimBlueprintClass were changed into "TSubclassOf<UAnimInstance> AnimClass"
The UDynamicClass also can deliver the IAnimClassInterface interface. See UAnimClassData, IAnimClassInterface::GetFromClass and UDynamicClass::AnimClassImplementation.

#info Whilst looking into this I spotted the reason why the stats seem so erratic, There appears to be an issue with FText's use of EXPERIMENTAL_TEXT_FAST_DECIMAL_FORMAT which I have reported, but ideally disable this locally until a fix is integrated.

(WIP) Second pass on the Blueprint conversion pipeline; setting it up for more optimal (speedier) performance.
* Using stubs for replacements (rather than loading dynamic replacement).
* Giving the cook commandlet more control (so a conversion could be ran directly).
* Now logging replacements by old object path (to account for UPackage replacement queries).
* Fix for [UE-21947], unshelved from CL 2724944 (by Maciej.Mroz).

UEB-261 - Ensure that compiling AutomationTool in VS will compile all other Automation Projects
* Just set AutomationTool as your startup project and pass the command to execute.
* VS will build the script modules at build time, instead of every time at runtime.
* To make this happen, "UBT.exe -ProjectFiles" now generates a companion AutomationTool.csproj.References that make AutomationTool depend on all Automation modules.
* AutomationTool.exe defaults to not building script modules at runtime. Pass -compile if you want to dynamically build them.
* Without the .references file, AutomationTool will only build itself and you will need to pass -compile.
* RunUAT.bat still works that same, defaulting to runtime compilation and supporting -nocompile flag. It then passes -compile (or nothing) to AutomationTool.
Other
* All Automation projects target .Net 4.5. Some already were and had hard dependencies on them (Rocket and SyncGithub -> Octokit). Now that AutomationTool directly depends on them, everything had to use .Net 4.5.
* Decoupled logic for -NoCompile and -NoCompileEditor. The flags are still confusing, but -NoCompile is no longer linked to -NoCompileEditor.
* Had to leave in stub support in UAT for -NoCompile else RunUAT.bat passes it along and UAT complains that it doesn't understand it.
* Added a CommandUtils.Run option to support run command, but still output the run duration.
* Reduced the verbosity when UAT.proj is run from dozens of lines per module to a single Module -> Output line. It was looking like there were problems, but it was just msbuild spew.

[CL 2615060 by Wes Hunt in Main branch]
* Remove ErrorReporter.Error, replace with AutomationException with Error Code.
* Move ErrorCodes to AutomationException.
* Don't return exit codes. Solely rely on exceptions to propagate exit codes.
* Remove MainProc delegate
* Remove setting of Environment.ExitCode as it is ignored when main returns an int.
* ShutdownLogging is nothrow, as all exceptions would be ignored anyway.
* Wrap all shutdown steps so further ones get a chance to run.
* Move HostPlatform.Initialize into the global try/catch block
