I have an include project for defining all of my variables.
Most of the variables are working but there are a few that, according to the log, get created but i cannot find them and when i try and use them, FB says they don't exist.
One thing to note is that variables aren’t available in the property pages of actions unless the variable is declared as a user or project variable, or if the variable has been defined by running the project. The variables that get declared during the running of a build are not saved or available in property pages after the project is closed and re-opened.
We highly recommend to people that they don’t use the “Define Variable” action, and instead define user or project scoped variables.
Hmmm, very interesting about the action. I have always used that action and never had problems before. In fact we have probably upwards of 200 variables (hmmm, is there a limit) Anyhow, the variable in question IS defined as a project variable. There is another variable declaration right above the one that doesn’t work that is set up the same way and it does work. I am not sure what the difference could be. Anything i can send to help in diagnosing this problem?
If you can, send thefbp5 and fbl5… zip them up though as I believe our mail server has a limit on the size of attachements (can’t rememeber exactly hat it is though).
