FB 6.0.0.534 Issues

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

Hi,

Here are some findings with FB 6 build 534

  1. When Live Logging is enabled I see "Execute Condition (VBScript)" continously in the Live Log View while the project is running. Somehow it's disturbing the flow of the view aswell. Several occurenses remain at the end of the Live Log
  2.  
    1. EvenThough "Suppress Log Message" is enabled on an Action I see strange output for the action. e.g.
      @STARTGROUP@4@Execute Condition (VBScript)
      @ENDGROUP
      And somehow all action output is surrounded by e.g.
      @STARTGROUP@0@...
      @STARTGROUP@1@...
      @ENDGROUP
      @ENDGROUP
    2. Why is it not possible to Log to a Variable, for parsing output in FB, and Suppress Log Messages
  3. When hidding an action from Logging, all the child actions are hidden aswell. This makes it very difficult to hide actions like Try Catch Finally End, as they are not interesting for our reports.
  4. I've had a quick look at the Export Fragment Log and I noticed that a file is created for the fragment as would it be a genuine Export Log. I no that an XML file needs a top-level tag, but is not welcome here due to the fact that one would try and merge the fragments to a complete Export Log XSLT it and publish it to a Web Site.

  1. Bug - will fix.

    2. (a) I haven’t seen this happen - can you send us a test case for this please?
    (b) Not sure, will check.

    3. As designed - basically the log view would be a mess if the parent actions were not available.

    4. I’ll add in an option to disable the top level tag.

  1. Fixed for next build.

    2a. Still can’t repo that bug.

    2b. Turning on Suppress Log messages completely ignores all messages sent by the action as soon as they’re generated. This setting was designed for actions that produce a lot of log messages that impact on the performance of the internal messaging architecture and the log file of FinalBuilder. Possibly a better option to use would be to filter the log view by message types (eg. only show Success and Error messages - see “Show Action Messages” section of the Logging options in Tools menu | Options), or Hide the action from log which still records all messages, but only shows the action if an error occurs.

    4. I’ve added a new checkbox - will be in tomorrow’s build.

Hi All,

You guys are great, really. I mean, the speed in which I receive response is amazing.

1. Thanks

2a. Strange. At first I thought it had to do with the fact that the project was converted from FB4 to FB6, but it isn't. I've attached a project which reads an attribute from a xml file (included) from an Action List. When using conditions on the Run Action List  action you get the Strange output, wether you Suppress Log Message or not. I've also included an Export Log html file to show you the results I get.

2b. Good Idea. I'll have a look into this.

3. OK, see your point

4. This is great, where can I get that new build please?

Regards Alfred

Hi Alfred

Thanks for the test case for 2a, I was able to find and fix this issue. We’ll have a new build out later today with the fix included.
