Hi, all.
I haven’t gotten totally up-to-speed on new FB5 features, but I understand there’s a new GUI to run in front of the FB project(s). If so, can someone give me some direction in getting going with this? What are you all doing these days to make your FB projects more user-friendly for your dev teams?
Thanks!
Ross
Are you referring to the “Prompt for Variables (enhanced)” action type?Steve
Hi Ross,
Not quite sure what you mean here. With FinalBuilder you can either use the IDE (FinalBuilder.exe) or the console version (FBCMD.exe). FBCMD is not very user friendly at all… it’s designed for running builds from the command line and/or schedule and not user interface shows. The IDE on the other hand can be used for creating, modifying, debugging and running your builds. As Steve mentioned, there are some actions that can prompt the user for various information during the build. Have a look in the Interactive category.
Another possibility is to create icons on your desktop that will run a particular build (via the IDE or FBCMD) and they can include prompting the user also.
