FAILSTEP_NAME not being set

[pjaquiery]

I've noticed this too. Could it be that following the first step in the Failure Steps the name is reset? A work around would be to have the first step save the step name to a macro.

Most of my failure processing sends email. I send the log file for the build as an attachment to the email.

Another trick I find useful is to use a global macro to override the system LOGFILE macro with:

%LogFilePath%%PROJROOT%Log.txt

so that log files are generated for each different build project. Helps a lot when a master build project invokes others.

I also often use %PROJROOT% in the body of the email so I know which build project generated the email.
