Variables not working

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.

What could i be doing wrong?

where abouts are you trying to use them?

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.

Yes, I’ve sometimes wondered what the “define variable” action is intended for? It seems like nothing but trouble.

Steve - you’re probably right, but there are some (…some…) legitimate uses for it :slight_smile:

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?

Hi Troy

Send you project(s) to support at finalbuilder.com and we will take a look and see if we can figure out what is happening.

What portion of the project do you need? Just the fbp5 files or what?

Hi Troy

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).


here are the two projects
