UBlueprintPathsLibrary::AutomationTransientDir

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the directory for automation save files that are intended to be deleted every run, as opposed to persistent test artifacts.

Caveats & Gotchas

  • Files placed here should be treated as disposable — the automation framework may wipe this folder at the start of a test run without warning.
  • Do not use for baseline/reference images you want to keep; use AutomationDir() for anything that must survive between runs.

Return Type

FString

Example
