Tools -> Scheduler not working correctly with Daily setting

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

So I've been seeing this issue pretty much as long as I've tried to use it in FinalBuilder 5, which goes back at least 6 months worth of versions.  I'm currently using version 5.5.0.707

Basically, I schedule a task to run Daily, Weekdays only, at 2am, and it only works the first time after I've scheduled it, then never again.  So if I scheduled it to run starting at 10/01/2008 at 2am, that one will work, and then the Scheduled Builds list will show that task as Last Run Time = 10/01/2008 2am, Next Run Time = 10/02/2008 2am, but that next run never occurs.  Although, the next day it will still update to 10/03, however, the Last Run Time stays as 10/01.

I'm using the command line option (although i've had the same experience using the IDE option), and it also closes all existing instances of FB.

One odd thing I've noticed is that it seems to default to Weekly instead of Daily if I attempt to Edit Task, and Weekdays is switched to Daily, however, the time option doesnt change.

So currently, the only way for me to have this run is to add a new task everyday, which kind of eliminates the point of a Daily, Weekdays only set of options.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Raul

I’ve been looking into this, and I’m not sure why it’s not running but I can explain why it switches to Weekly. When you specify weekdays, the only way to do this with the Windows Scheduler (which is what FinalBuilder is using), it to create a weekly schedule and specify which days it will run on. You can verify this by clicking on the Edit Task (Advanced) button, which will display the windows scheduler dialog for the schedule. You can also take a look at the scheduled task under scheduled tasks in control panel.

I will schedule a weekdays only task on my machine and see what happens.
