Blueprint Struct associations in Blueprint hierarchy causes command line cooker to crash

Blueprint Struct associations in Blueprint hierarchy causes command line cooker to crash

Questions & Answers
Description

If a user creates a specific Blueprint hierarchy with a Blueprint struct, it can cause a issue when the Blueprint struct is being cooked.

User description of Blueprint(s) and Blueprint Struct relationship:

"I create a Blueprint Struct and give it some variables. I create an Actor Component that contains the Struct as a variable. I create two Actors and add that Actor Component to both of them. I create another Actor that only contains a Blueprint Function which copies the Struct from one Actor to another."

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Download attached project and extract
  2. Right click .uproject and generate Visual Studio Project files (make sure association is to a source build 4.13.1)
  3. Open game project .sln
  4. Build game project as Debug and as Debug Editor
  5. Open UE4.sln which is associated with game project
  6. Change to Debug Editor and compile UE4
  7. After compile is done, Right-click UE4 solution and go to properties
  8. Under "Debugging" change "Command Arguments to: 
    "<DirectoryTo/Your/GameProject.uproject" -run=cook -cookonthefly -targetplatform=WindowsNoEditor -integrate  -debug
  9. Press Apply and then OK
  10. Use "Local Windows Debugger" button to launch UE4 with new command arguements
  11. When UE4 launches cmd window and says, "Unreal Network File Server is ready for client connections", Open a cmd window and cd to folder that holds game project folder
  12. In new cmd window, run the following command: 
    start <GameProjectFolder>/Binaries/Win64/CookCrash-Win64-Debug.exe MyMap -game -filehostip=<your.computer.ip.network-address>

RESULT:

Unreal Network File Server will connect with client and begin to package game before hitting a break point in UScriptStruct::InitializeStruct( ).

If not running from Visual Studio, Network File Server will silently crash.

EXPECTED:

Command line cooking completes with no break point or silent crash.
