Checking in and tagging the FinalBuilder project itself after a build

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

We use subversion for source control. After every successful build I need to do the following steps

a) Checkin the Finalbuilder project ( along with .fbv and .fbd )

b) Tag the Checkedin project in a release area ( basically a subversion copy)

I know that using SCC I could do a) but not b)

The other option I considered was to run the Finalbuilder project from a DOS batch file. After successfull execution of the

project, I would commit and copy the project from the DOS batch file. Unfortunately this meant that I expose the svn username

and password in the DOS batch file which was not acceptable !!!

Any ideas ?

Checking in the Finalbuilder project and tagging seems like a common task everybody would encounter.. Hence, I am hoping

that there exists a simple solution..

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi

We do a very similar thing with our build process… what we have is a bootstrap project that just gets the main project from version control and then call’s it using the Include Project action. The bootstrap project only does the bare minimum and doesn’t often get modified.

Thanks for your reply. This seem to work. One minor problem, how can I make the included project log to its own log file ? Right now my bootstrap project log file contains everything.

Unfortunately this is just how it works.

Maybe there is another way to do this. All I need is to be able to save the log output of my non-bootstarp(main) project once its complete. Since the non-bootstrap log file (fbl5) does not get updated, is there any other way I can extract the project execution log information.

Again, your help is much appreciated.

Hi

Yes, there is an Export Log action that will export the log in thml, xml or text formats.
