Overview: DevAssist is a powerful developer-focused utility designed to enhance your Unreal Engine project debugging experience. With an easy-to-use interface and Blueprint integration, DevAssist provides a systematic way to handle error tracking, custom log management, and prompt notifications for developers, ensuring a smooth workflow and enhanced debugging capability. Empower your team to quickly identify and respond to critical issues, keeping development streamlined.

Key Features:

• Custom Error Logging: Automatically logs errors and warnings to a dedicated log file (DevAssist_ErrorLog.txt), allowing for better tracking and error management in your project.

• Error Notification System: When an error or warning occurs, DevAssist triggers a prompt to developers, enabling faster identification of problems during the development phase.

• Blueprint Integration: The TriggerDebugNotification function is now fully accessible via Blueprints, allowing developers to customize and call notifications easily from within their Blueprint graphs.

• Easy Setup: Simple integration as a GameInstance subsystem makes setup quick and requires minimal configuration to start logging and managing errors.

• Persistent Tracking: Logs are preserved to help developers track repeated issues over sessions, creating a historical understanding of errors for ongoing improvements.

Ideal Use Cases:

• Debugging During Development: DevAssist can notify developers immediately when errors occur, minimizing the time between encountering and solving issues.

• Error Logging in Team Projects: Provides a consistent error and warning logging framework for team projects, enabling better collaborative debugging and awareness of key problems.

• Customizable Error Handling: Blueprint-callable error prompts allow developers to use the error notification system creatively for different error-handling scenarios.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Workflow: Streamlines debugging by presenting errors in real-time with easy-to-manage prompts and consolidated logging.

• Team Efficiency: By providing centralized and consistent logging, DevAssist helps team members stay on the same page regarding project issues.

• Extensible Functionality: The subsystem can be customized or extended to suit specific project requirements, integrating seamlessly into existing development environments.

Technical Details:

• Engine Compatibility: Unreal Engine 5.4+

• Platform Compatibility: Supports Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Android/iOS support for logs may require platform-specific handling.

• Code Modules: DevAssist (Runtime, Editor)

• Installation Instructions: Add the DevAssist plugin to your project, enable the plugin, and the subsystem will automatically start logging to DevAssist_ErrorLog.txt in your project's Saved/Logs folder.
