StepStarted event not behaving as documented

[Dave_Novak]

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?
