FinalBuilder Scheduled Tasks Don't Close

Hi

We are using FinalBuilder 4.1.0.228 to perform hourly test builds of our software. The build process is triggered by the Windows Task Scheduler under Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Lately we have been noticing that instances of FinalBuilder invoked by the Scheduler are not shutting themselves down as they did (reliably) in the past. When we check the terminal, we find a “Confirm” dialog box (OK/Cancel) asking the following:

Are you sure you want to close FinalBuilder? The build process will be stopped when the current action finishes.

When this occurs, FinalBuilder is effectively locked up. No new instances of FinalBuilder can be launched by the Scheduler, and our hourly build system ceases to function.

Oddly enough, it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes it shuts down just fine.

This all began fairly recently. Only a couple of things have changed that I expect could have anything to do with it. 1) We upgraded to the latest FinalBuilder 4 update, and 2) I added in some new scheduled FinalBuilder runs to perform unrelated automated test routines (the scheduled tasks do not conflict).

NOTE: The instances of FinalBuilder triggered by the Scheduler occur in full windowed mode in an account which is left logged in on the server specifically for this purpose.

Any information regarding this issue will be useful. Thanks!

Hi Robb,

Thanks for reporting this issue. You are correct that it appears in the latest 4.1 release (although not for everyone, for some reason.) We have a new test build which should address the issue. You can download it from here:

Please let us know how you go.

Regards,

Hey thanks a lot.!

I have downloaded the new build and I am installing it now.

I will report back next week with the results.
