Trying to setup Continua but when I run a build, the CI\_AWS\Ws\buildnumber folder is not created and populated. Am totally lost. Here is an extract from the debug log.

Hi Bob,
It looks like there are no files added to the Continua repository cache for the relevant changeset in your “API” repository.
This section of the debug log does not show us what changesets were detected on your repository and committed to the repository cache when the repository was initialised or last polled. We also don’t know what type of the repository and the settings that you entered.
Can you send details of your repository settings to [support@finalbuilder.com](mailto:support@finalbuilder.com)? Either send screenshots or download a diagnostics report from the Administration -\> Event Log page. Also provide details of the repository structure particularly if it is a repository with branches.
If you can also reset your repository on the Adminstration -\> Repositories page with debug logging enabled and then send a debug log once the repository is initialised, this will also show us what files are being committed to the repository cache.
