StepStarted event not behaving as documented

According to the documentation (see http://www.kinook.com/VBP/Manual/ind...riptevents.htm), we are told “The StepStarted and StepDone events fire even if the step is skipped. Use conditional logic (VBScript syntax) like If Step.BuildStatus <> vbldStepStatSkipped Then ... to perform event logic only if the step was not skipped.”

I am handling the vbld_StepStartedProject() and I can tell you from experience that Step.BuildStatus is never vbldStepStatSkipped, even if the step is skipped. The only way I can find out if it is skipped is through the vbld_StepDoneProject event. Step.BuildStatus is correct in the StepDone event.

Here’s a snippet from my vbld_StepStartedProject() handler:

If Step.BuildStatus = vbldStepStatSkipped Then
' return now -- this step was skipped
Exit Sub
End If


Am I doing something wrong or is the documentation wrong?

The documentation is wrong (the status in the started event was not indicating skipped). This issue has been addressed in the v6.2 beta by not firing the started/done events for steps that are skipped. See here for more details on the beta:

That is definitely the way it should be handled. I can't wait for 6.2 to be released . . . for many reasons. Any ETA until gold? I think I'll now take a look at the beta.

Thanks!

Release Candidate would probably be more fitting. It's pretty solid, but we'd rather be proven wrong now than after the official release.
