Conditional Build Problem

[mvermeulen]

I have been trying to use a conditional build rule to only run the step upon a successful test for a particular folder. For my test, the folder does NOT exist. It is running the step regardless of whether the folder exists or not.

[vbld_FSO.FolderExists("D:\App\")] is true.

The step is a copy function and since the folder does not exist, the step fails when it can't find the path specified.

I am using project macros so the actual statement looks more like
[vbld_FSO.FolderExists("%appspacepath%\%appname1%\% appversion1%\")]. The substitution seems to be working properly and I have run the test with the hardcoded path as well. Still ignores.

???? Any help would be appreciated.

If you hold down Shift when mousing over the script expression in the step properties dialog, all macros and script will be evaluated for display in the tooltip (a value of -1 equates to True).

Also, make sure you aren't building via Rebuild Selected: http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?threadid=240
