Unreal Engine 4 Blank Module - c++

Question

I'm trying to get into unreal engine 4 module development, starting out with blank module for starters, but hitting a block at the start.
Tutorial that I went through for a non-game module: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/An_Int...to_UE4_Plugins. I tried going exactly by the source and later modifying everything to TestPlugin (since I couldn't get it to work by the tutorial either).
For some reason, whenever I try to activate the module within the editor, I get the "can't find the "Module" module". I am trying to figure out if I missed something, here is the code that I have so far:
../Engine/Plugins/TestPlugin/TestPlugin.uplugin
{
"FileVersion" : 3,
"FriendlyName" : "Test Plugin",
"Version" : 1,
"VersionName": "1.0",
"EngineVersion" : 1579795,
"Description" : "Description goes here",
"Category" : "Test.Module",
"CreatedBy" : "arhon",
"CreatedByURL" : "http://stackoverflowcom",
"CanContainContent" : "true",
"Modules" :
[
{
"Name" : "Module",
"Type" : "Developer",
"LoadingPhase" : "PreDefault"
}
]
}
../Engine/Plugins/TestPlugin/Source/TestPlugin/TestPlugin.cpp
void FTestPlugin::StartupTestPlugin()
{
if (ITestPlugin::IsAvailable())
{
UE_LOG(TestPlugin, Log, TEXT("%s"), ITestPlugin::Get().IsThisNumber42(42) ? TEXT("True") : TEXT("False"));
UE_LOG(TestPlugin, Log, TEXT("%s"), ITestPlugin::Get().IsThisNumber42(12) ? TEXT("True") : TEXT("False"));
}
}
../Engine/Plugins/TestPlugin/Source/TestPlugin/TestPlugin.Build.cs
using UnrealBuildTool;
public class TestPlugin : ModuleRules
{
public TestPlugin(TargetInfo Target)
{
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore" });
PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "TestPlugin" });
DynamicallyLoadedModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "StandAlone" });
}
}
../Engine/Plugins/TestPlugin/Source/TestPlugin/Public/ITestPlugin.h
#pragma once
#include "ModuleManager.h"
/**
* The public interface to this module. In most cases, this interface is only public to sibling modules
* within this plugin.
*/
class ITestPlugin : public ITestPluginInterface
{
public:
/**
* Singleton-like access to this module's interface. This is just for convenience!
* Beware of calling this during the shutdown phase, though. Your module might have been unloaded already.
*
* #return Returns singleton instance, loading the module on demand if needed
*/
static inline ITestPlugin& Get()
{
return FModuleManager::LoadModuleChecked< ITestPlugin >("TestPlugin");
}
/**
* Checks to see if this module is loaded and ready. It is only valid to call Get() if IsAvailable() returns true.
*
* #return True if the module is loaded and ready to use
*/
static inline bool IsAvailable()
{
return FModuleManager::Get().IsModuleLoaded("TestPlugin");
}
virtual bool IsThisNumber42(int32 num) = 0;
};
../Engine/Plugins/TestPlugin/Source/TestPlugin/Private/TestPluginPrivatePCH.h
#include "ITestPlugin.h"
// You should place include statements to your module's private header files here. You only need to
// add includes for headers that are used in most of your module's source files though.
../Engine/Plugins/TestPlugin/Source/TestPlugin/Private/TestPlugin.h
#pragma once
class TestPluginImpl : public ITestPlugin
{
public:
/** IModuleInterface implementation */
void StartupTestPlugin();
void ShutdownTestPlugin();
bool IsThisNumber42(int32 num);
};
../Engine/Plugins/TestPlugin/Source/TestPlugin/Private/TestPlugin.cpp
#include "TestPluginPrivatePCH.h"
#include "TestPlugin.h"
void TestPluginImpl::StartupTestPlugin()
{
}
void TestPluginImpl::ShutdownTestPlugin()
{
}
bool TestPluginImpl::IsThisNumber42(int32 num)
{
return num == 42;
}
IMPLEMENT_MODULE(TestPluginImpl, TestPlugin)

Answer 1

In the .uplugin file, look at your module name, then in testplugin.cpp, look at this line:
IMPLEMENT_MODULE(TestPluginImpl, TestPlugin)
I'm sure they need to match.
e.g.:
"Modules" :
[
{
"Name" : "NebulaAudioAnalysisPlugin",
"Type" : "Runtime"
}
]
and my implementation looks like:
IMPLEMENT_MODULE(FNebulaAudioAnalysisPlugin, NebulaAudioAnalysisPlugin)
I found this all out the hard way...
