How to send Visual Build log file by e-mail

[ilyar]

I looked at Logging.bld project in Sample folder and build it but all XML log handling steps were sciped because of
[Len(%QUOTE_STR(%LOGFILE%)%) > 0 And Application.Options.LogFormat = "XML"] condition.
Nothing was sent.
How can I make it send log file by e-mail after build fails or succeds?

Go to Tools | Application Options on the menu, switch to the Logging tab, check 'Enable file logging', enter a filename in the Log Filename field, and change Format to XML.

The Text log format will have output that is close to what is displayed in the output pane. It will not contain the 'build completed' line if sent from within a build, since the build hasn't actually completed until after the last step completes; you can add a Log Message step before your send mail step to add that if you wish.
