Error firing vbld_StepDone event

[Bounster]

I am using VSS and just trying to get a history of a project since the last label. I would get this error when the retrieval gets to the label specified.

Error firing vbld_StepDone event: Error in System script code at Line 108, Column 2 (Input past end of file)
Step 'Get History of Project' failed

What am I doing wrong and thanks for any suggestions.

Can you post a sanitized copy of the step in question, or simply email it support@kinook.com to better see what is occuring?

Easiest way is to make a copy of the step, replace any sensitive info in this copy (user names, passwords, paths), then copy this revised step (to the clipboard). Finally, paste into the post or reply email, an XML fragment of the step will be pasted which anyone can use to reconstitute the step in Visual Build Professional.

Note: You can supply any necessary macros using the same copy/paste technique.

Here is the step...

</step>

I don't see anything wrong with the step you provided., I modified the SourceSafe.bld sample (installed with Visual Build Professional) to use the same vbld_StepDone() event logic (with a simple "c:\out.txt" text file) and couldn't reproduce the error. Is there something significant about this out.txt file that might play into the problem?

Can you modify the SourceSafe.bld sample to reproduce the error and email that to support@kinook.com?

We have discovered this problem seems to only appear with this one particular VSS database and will continue our investigation on our end.


Thanks and great support and response time!
