Hi.

I would like to use additional IncrediBuild flags like SHOWCMD SHOWTIME SHOWAGENT but when I'm trying to add these to the IncrediBuild action --> Additional --> Additional CL Flags, it fails.

I'm using FB v5.707.

Please advise,

thanks,

 Guy.

Hi Guy,

Could you provide any more information about the problem? Do you receive any error messages from the action when use use the additional flags?

Regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul.

Sure. First of all, I don’t know how to write those additional flags (with or without slash, comma seperation, etc - I’ve tried it all).
The error I’m getting is from Incredibuild itself - Fatal Error: Failed to initiate build. Failed to create process: …
I’ve noticed that FB add a command-line flag - /cl_add=“SHOWCMD SHOWTIME…” and not regular flag like the /NoLogo flag, for example. Why is that?

No need to say that from command-line it works fine.

Thanks for your help,
Guy.

Hi Guy

Please post the log output from FinalBuilder so we can see what is being passed to Incredibuild. Also which version of IncrediBuild are you using?

Hi Vincent.

Well, we have found the bug. It seems that there was a file named “program” on the C drive which makes IncrediBuild do strange things.
So thanks for that.

But we still cannot pass some arguments to the buildConsole using the IncrediBuild action. We now have even more important issue - we want to build an IncrediBuild preset, in which from command-line is simple as /Preset="…", but no special field for that in FB action.

Please advise,

Thanks!!
Guy.

Hi Guy

You should be able to specify any additional command line options via these two properties on the Action Inspector :

Note that these properties are passed to the command line verbatum (although variables are expanded), so you need to specify them exactly as required by Incredibuild.
