We are using Continua to run our Finalbuilder build scripts. These have a number of async action groups to build things in parallel.

That makes it hard to find errors in the build however as Continua does not display these logs in a useful manner. Instead it keeps adding the async actions as a child of the previous action which makes the entire log disorganized and it keeps running to the right until the entries can not be displayed anymore.

Is a fix planned for this?

Unfortunately the fix for this will have to wait for FB8, there is a mismatch between how the logging was designed in Continua and how it works in FinalBuilder (misscommunication between developers). Our plan is to re-implement the logging in FB8 as part some other improvements we are working on.

A work around you can try is to export the log from the finalbuilder to the build workspace, add a workspace rule to copy the log back to the server, and configure the logfile as a Report in Continua CI - [http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/agMZ](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/x/agMZ)

Thanks. I will do that.
