Action or script command to clear the log?

FinalBuilder Bugs

With a long running project, such as continuous integration which might effectively run 24 hours a day, is there an action or a script command we can use to periodically clear the log?

 

FinalBuilder version 5.5.0.707

Hi Steve

No, this is not possible with FinalBuilder. Running FinalBuilder in a continuous loop for CI is probably not the best thing to do either.

FinalBuilder Server 6 provides proper CI and is our recommended solution, however this is how you could setup CI with FB5 (just one of many possibilities).

1) create a stub project which

    a) checks for source changes
    b) starts and instance of FBCmd to run the real project

2) schedule the stub project to run every x minutes.

This will allow your log file to only have actual builds, and you can ignore the log of the stub project.

Thanks.  I'll give those suggestions a try.
