FB 5.5 - Problem with Build VS.NET solution?

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

Hi

I have created a Build VS.NET solution and updated the Apply to project section

I have selected and unselected several projects ( | don't want to build the entire solution)

But when I run it I see that several projects I have checked are not built and vice versa projects that are not checked are build

FB version 5.5.0.627

VS ,net version : 2005

Use MSBuild - unchecked

Hi EF,

Sorry to hear you’re having problems. I wasn’t able to reproduce this here.

My only thought is that other projects may be building because of dependencies (configured in the solution file), giving you unexpected results.

If you could send your .sln file (just the .sln file, the actual project and source files aren’t required), the FinalBuilder project (.fbp5/.fbz5), and the FinalBuilder log file (.fbl5) to support at finalbuilder dot com, then we can take a closer look for you.

Regards,

Angus

Hi

Another thing to check is that in the solution file (open it in notepad) that each project has a unique guid, VS.NET sometimes (not sure when/how) assigns the same ID to multiple projects in the solution. This will cause problems with FinalBuilder since the VS action references the projects in the solution by ID not by name.

Hi

This was indeed a problem with the solution file
Sorry for the false alarm.

Can you elaborate on this at all? Intermittently I have a problem where Build VS.net actions fail in FBS with a "no projects selected to build" message, when as far as I can tell, I haven't changed anything relevant. I have selected certain projects to build. Maybe I can work around it by modifying the .sln file to never build certain projects (and so in FB I could say to build them all), but other than that, any ideas?

In a brief check, it looks like the GUIDs that FB is referencing are the same as in the .sln file, but I'm not really sure how to interpret the contents of the .sln file.

Hi Steve

Occasionally, VS gives multiple projects the same GUID identifiers in the solution file. This is a bug. The VS.NET action in FinalBuilder references the projects by their identifiers not their names (as the names may change but the identifiers shouldn’t).
