How to compile Unreal 5 project in VS Code without launching the game or the editor ?

enter image description here


Solution

  • In the top menu, Terminal->Run Build Task

    Usually you use the 'Editor' suffix 'Development' config. The 'Editor' suffix config would be for this project 'project1Editor (platform) Development Build'.

    You can also try Rebuild if the Build has any trouble. Do know, using rebuild with Full Source UE will take awhile.
