Continuous integration example

[ChrisF]

I'm trying to use the ContinuousIntegration.bld that came with our VBPro v7.2a as a template for continuous builds.

Where is the macro LOOP_DELAY defined? I see it in the Macros tab, is that where it's defined?

Also, to have this run in the background, do I just schedule it as a task, and basically let it run forever?

Also, my builds run around 2 hours. Do I just set my delay time to 2 hours to ensure that builds don't overlap, or is there a smarter way to do this, like defining a global marco that say, checks if BUILD_IN_PROGRESS = no?

Yes.

Yes, schedule it to run at startup/logon.

The builds won't overlap -- the delay period doesn't begin until the last build has finished.
