Build Automation issue

General
1

ok I am writing Build Automation code on a friday afternoon and should wait until monday. For some odd reason the script works fine when I “RUN” the app in the IDE but doesn’t work when I “BUILD” it.

Dim versionY As String = "0000" + PropertyValue("App.MajorVersion")
Dim versionM As String = "00"   + PropertyValue("App.MinorVersion")
Dim versionD As String = "00"   + PropertyValue("App.BugVersion")
Dim versionI As String = PropertyValue("App.NonReleaseVersion")

Dim command As String
command = "/bin/bash -c  ""/bin/echo """ + right( versionY,4 ) +right( versionM,2 ) + right( versionD,2 ) + "-" + versionI + """ > " + CurrentBuildLocationNative + "/../version"""
Dim result As String
result = DoShellCommand( command )
'print command

and the script is setup to run both on the RUN and BUILD. The script should put a file called “version” right next to the executable with a single line in it with the version of the application (20180214-99 format - YYYYMMDD-##)

thanks for any and all help!

Have you set it to be after the build?

3

yes it is the first task after the build.
second (and last task) is to save the source code

works in a “RUN”
doesn’t work in a “BUILD”
which is very odd to me.

They are building different folders, you might be trying to use a folder that doesn’t exist in the “build” but possibly does exist in a “run”?

I don’t see any checking if the currentbuildlocationnative actually exist.
