UE4: Spine Widget

jbrauer

Hello, I am trying to use the UMG Spine Widget in UE4 through C++, and any time I include the SpineWidget.h file I get an error along the lines of:

Plugins\SpinePlugin\Source\SpinePlugin\Public\SpineWidget.h(32): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'SpinePluginPrivatePCH.h': No such file or directory

I am unable to use a Spine Widget through C++ because of this. Is there a know issue that causes this include to fail like that or a workaround/fix?

That appears to be an error in the SpineWidget.h file. It shouldn't include that header. You can temporarily remove that include, i'll fix it in the 3.8 and 3.9-beta branch. I've created an issue here: [ue4] SpineWidget.h should not include private header · #1538

Thank you for the response. So that I make sure I replace that include with the appropriate alternatives, which includes are required to be in SpineWidget instead?
It isn't a big deal to temporarily move the includes from SpinePluginPrivatePCH.h to SpineWidget, but I want to be sure I am putting in what the widget needs and nothing extra.

From SpinePluginPrivatePCH.h:

#include "SpinePlugin.h"
#include "SpineSkeletonDataAsset.h"
#include "SpineAtlasAsset.h"
#include "SpineSkeletonComponent.h"
#include "SpineSkeletonAnimationComponent.h"
#include "SpineSkeletonRendererComponent.h"
#include "SpineBoneFollowerComponent.h"
#include "SpineBoneDriverComponent.h"
#include "SpineWidget.h"

I have fixed the header in the 3.8 and 3.9-beta branches to use the minimum set of headers necessary. Simply update spine-ue4 and you are good to go. Thanks again for reporting!
