Hi
In our daily builds we are piping all output into a log file that is later used for an error report. To be able to read the output "live" during the build we use the tail command.
How can I do the same in FinalBuilder? My first idea was to run tail in parallel with the build in an Async Action Group, but then I want tail to end when the build has finished.
Is there a way to accomplish this with FB log files, variables etc?
i.e. I want to see the output live during build, and I also need it to be saved in a log file for later use.
Thank you.

Hi Magnus,
Instead of piping all the output to a file, could you let all the output go the FinalBuilder log and use the ‘Export Log to File’ action to export the log at the end of the build. You can then use the ‘Live Log View’ during the build to have a live display of what the build is up to.

The thing is I just want to log a specific part of the build and then evaluate it. The error reporting tool is constructed to only work for this section of the build. Hmm...I just realized I don't have to wait for the whole build to export the log file, right? I can export it after this section...or?
Two other things:
1) When starting a build from console the live log view doesn't work. I need to click Log Options and change from Static to Live Logging even if "Live Log View" is ticked.
2) The animated running man doesn't seem to be running when using sub projects (Include project). Is that a known "error"?
Thank you
Regards
Magnus
