How to run this automation tools?

[jacksonwang12212]

Hi, currently I want to try to run this automation tools to benchmark my plugin , may I know how can I run it ? And I am glad if you can explain what each file/folder are doing. Thank you very much !

This is the most high level breakdown I can give:

• python/openunrealautomation/ contains python modules that don't really make sense to run as scripts, but are building blocks for other stuff
• python/scripts/ contains full command line tools that probably don't need much extensions
• Samples/ is more for how to integrate the python modules from above in more complex automation scripts

The most complete example that comes closest to how I'm using these tools at Grimlore is here https://github.com/JonasReich/OpenUnrealAutomationTools/blob/master/Samples/SampleScriptBuildGraph.py

There's also a few Powershell modules and samples, but I'm not maintaining those at all and will probably strip them from the repo soon.

Also worth noting, the modules in python/openunrealautomation/ can (and should) be installed as a package to be usable for the sample script I linked above. You can do that either using https://github.com/JonasReich/OpenUnrealAutomationTools/blob/master/InstallPythonPackage.cmd or manually via pip
