Will it unescape even when %FAILSTEP_OUTPUT% is used as part of the Message text of an email?

If so, I'll have to put together an example as it's not unescaping for me under 6.3.

Is there a way to send non-escaped FAILSTEP_OUTPUT email?

Quite some time ago (back in the VBP 6.1 or 6.2 days), I learned that when including the %FAILSTEP_OUTPUT% macro in the Message of a "build failed" type of email, the text therein needed to be...

Upgrading from VBP 6.3

Hi --

I'm a long-time VBP user. Love the product. Things have gone so well for us and our build process is stabilized such that I have not upgraded since VBP 6.3. I’m considering that now,...

List Files action should support Exclude

Just a request, but I would like to see List Files support EXCLUDE files / dirs like most file operations. In fact, it should have the big INCLUDE and EXCLUDE entry fields and support #1, #2, and #3...

That's good advice -- Beyond Compare is a great tool (used it for years). I was just hoping I could do it all from VBP. You guys should work out a deal with them and offer Compare/Diff/Merge/Sync...

How might I copy on only diffs between two folders into a third?

Here's the scenario --

* I have Folder A (which contains a copy of my latest source code)
* I have Folder B (which contains a copy of the base version of this same source code)
*...

My sincere apologies as this was all completely my fault. I ended up making a non-obvious but rather stupid mistake. As I explained before, I indeed do have a project macro (or rather a global...

Just to be clear, all of the Vault commands I use right now already make use of a project macro %VAULT_SVR% in the Host field on the Server tab. Therefore, I am specifying a host value to use in my...

Problem using Vault

Problem Resolved

It definitely has nothing to do with network access as no network access is performed in the VBP script. Also, you don't even have to run the script to see the problem. I have the exact same result...

To be clear, our Web Service simply executes VBP scripts but does not save them. The most telling demonstration, however, is the one I listed previously, which simply starts and exits the VBP GUI...

VBP process delays terminating

I have a somewhat strange problem with VBP 6.1 that only reproduces itself on our Build machine. When VBP finishes and exits the build, its process still hangs around in memory for about 10 seconds....

Smile It works!!!

The latest beta fixes the problem with creating empty directories for non-matching folders. Thanks.

I've updated my Include pattern to now be \B*\**\*, which does exactly what I need it to do. ...

Here is my test script to demonstrate the problems. I've also noticed that it does not want to copy files deeper than 1 level (even though Recursive is set).

Correct -- according to my tests with the latest Beta, you no longer need to check the "Process empty folders" option to get things to work as expected.

Thanks for fixing this.

No -- the files were not being reported as copied and not physically copied either. And I definitely do not have the "Do not copy..." option checked. The really odd thing, however, is that all of...

Include / Exclude boxes sized differently in 6.2 Beta

This is admittedly picky, but the Include and Exclude boxes (found on the Files tab of various file operations) have lost their symmetry in the 6.2 beta. They used to be the same size in 6.1, but...
