When I set up a “loop” in VBP, I like to include the loop variable as part of the step name so that I can easily see where I’m at. Here is an example of a loop that uses a macro in the step name:
....Set RELEASE_PROJECT_LIST macro
....For Each Project in RELEASE_PROJECT_LIST...
........Set NEXT_PROJECT macro
........Build Project: %NEXT_PROJECT%
When running VBP through the GUI, the tooltip for the step “Build Project: %NEXT_PROJECT%” correctly translates %NEXT_PROJECT% into its current value. However, when I look at this step in the log file, it is written as “Build Project: %NEXT_PROJECT%”.
Is there any way to tell the logger to translate the step name to show the actual embedded macro value? This would be very useful for logging purposes.
