Terminate and stop build...doesn't

FinalBuilder Bugs
1

I notice that the round red button “Terminate and stop build” seems to terminate the current action but doesn’t stop the build. I have a custom “execute program” type action, which calls a program called TLIB. If given bad arguments, TLIB sometimes sits there waiting indefinitely for correct user input. I push the red button to stop it, get a MS Visual Studio pop up box asking if I want to debug, click no, then the build carries on as normal.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn’t fit the “terminate and stop build” description. The best might be if it terminated that action then asked if you wanted to continue.

Hi Steve,

If the build isn’t stopping, that’s a bug. Am I right that the TLIB action is a custom action made in ActionStudio?

Yep. It’s very basic.I should also mention the action has “ignore failure” mode on.

Hi Steve,

My attempts to reproduce this have so far failed - running a program which never exits terminates fine, Ignore Failure or not.

Have you tried saying “Yes” to debugging? Could you do this and let me know what code it’s failed on? Do you have anything special in any of the other script events, like InterpretResult or OnFailure?

Thanks very much.

Ok, next time this comes up I’ll try that. It’s not the easiest thing to reproduce. I don’t have any script events - very rarely use them. Not because I can’t, but because it’s fun abusing FB as much as possible to get around using script :slight_smile:
