FB 5 Variable Expansion

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

I am using ResGen to compile resources in FB5.

I set up a  variable ProjectPath to reference my project directories.

When I click on the Action Inspector output file an editor appears showing me my output path and fiel and evaluating any variables I include in the path ( %ProjectPath%).

When I run ResGen I get error messages telling me that it can't find the named files and showing me paths where the %ProjectPath% variable has evaluated to "";

I went to the variable and saw the option "Macro (expand variable references on each access".  I ticked this and everything worked.

So why does the evaluation window in the editor show the expanded variable?

I like FinalBuidler but it does seem to be full of interface inconsistencies and little gotchas that can take up lots of time to resolve!

Regards

Andy

Hi Andy

I’m not able to reproduce this here. Please email support at finalbuilder dot com with your finalbuilder project and resx file so we can make sure we are testing with the same variables/settings etc.
