Unresolved Macro in Surround SCM action

[Graham McPhee]

I am current evaluating VBP and while I'm finding it an excellent product I have come across an issue.

I'm using the Surround SCM action to retrieve changed files from that version manager.

I have used a hard coded value in the Surround SCM tab properties in the Label: box quite successfully.

However when I place a Project macro in there the retrieve fails by not finding any matched files.

The tooltip value that pops up when hovering over the macro is correct.

Check the 'Show command-line...' checkbox on the Options tab of the Surround SCM action, then ZIP and send or post:
1) The .bld file
2) A build log file

Thanks.

The command line option was one I had missed, this has highlighted the problem. My error entirely.
Macros are working as expected.

Many thanks for your rapid response.
