No Actions with status Error found

FinalBuilder Discussion

 Hi All,

FinalBuilder does not find any actions with status error. The error status also doesn't buble up to it's parent action. So everything seems to be alright.

Am I forgetting something?

I'am using FinalBuilder 4.2.0.317

Hi Alfred,

Thanks for your post. I’m afraid I don’t quite understand your problem. Is the build failing? Do you have “ignore failure” set on the action which is reporting the error?

Regards,

Angus

Hi Agnus,

Try attached Project. It tries to load variables from the c:\test.ini file which doesn't exists.

Load Variables outside try/catch/finally
Run project
Result: Build Log shows Red crossses bubbling up to top in tree view although not on the sibblings in between
Press Show all Error Actions
Result: No action with error status found
Disable Load Variables outside try/catch/finally
Run Project
In the Build Log everthing seems OK, but I clearly see an error in my project so I drill down in the Build Log. Ah there it is. Load Variables from ini File faild.
Result: Build Log shows NO! Red crossses bubbling up to top in tree view
Press Show all Error Actions
Result: No action with error status found
Enable Raise Exepction in Catch
Run Project
Result: Build Log shows Red crossses bubbling up to top in tree view although not on the sibblings in between
Press Show all Error Actions
Result: No action with error status found

Hi Alfred,

Thanks for sending the sample app, I can confirm it is a bug. We should have a fix out before the end of next week.

Hi Agnus,

OK thanks. It works OK in FB 5.5.0.348. Except for those parent nodes issue

How about those parent nodes in the Build Log tree not having red crosses if a child nodes action failed. It that considered as a bug.

Hi Alfred,

Parent/child relationships are a little unusual in FB, because the parent action also runs and has a status. This is why the parent has a green tick, because it did run (even if it’s an Action Group, which runs but does nothing - although it may have script events which do something) and that action succeeded. It was the child action which failed.

What I suppose we can look into is a new status icon, something like “has failed child action”. With the “show error actions” button and the “show action in context” button, you can quickly find the error and then see it in context, anyhow (notwithstanding the bug in the latest FB 4.)

Regards,

Angus
