Can a FB project get the latest version of itself from source control...?

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi

We are storing FB projects in Vault, and allowing the integrated source control to handle the check in/out of the project, so when editing in the IDE we are sure that we always have the latest version.

However, as we are running builds on the server, we would like to be sure that the server is always using the latest checked in version of the FB project ?

Is there a step or option available to make a FB project get the latest version of itself from Vault when it runs on the server, or at least fail if a new version is available...? I know we could fake the last one by getting the latest to a different location and comparing it to the running version, but something a bit more integrated would be nice.

Thanks

Matt

hello,
We use 2 projects to do this :
* The main project
* The “launcher” project, which is launched by the server and do only 2 things :
** checkout the main project (either latest or optionally a specific revision)
** Run the main project (using include Project Action)

Fabien’s suggestion is how we do it inhouse. The Bootstrap project (that’s what our “launcher” is called) get’s the main project and then run’s it.
