setup factory 9 does not read constants during unattended build

[goodwillguy]

hi,

i have constants in th .suf project and have a ini file which is changes the version before the build starts.

The Constants are not updated from the file so the build generation fails.

The command is following

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Setup Factory 9\SUFDesign.exe" /BUILD "C:\Bamboo\bamboo.home\xml-data\build-dir\BCSP-RT-JOB1\Installation\ReflashTool.suf" /CONST:"C:\Bamboo\bamboo.home\xml-data\build-dir\BCSP-RT-JOB1\Installation\Config.ini" /STDOUT

Config.ini
---------
[Constants]
#VERSION#=2.8
#ReleaseBase#=C:\Bamboo\bamboo.home\xml-data\build-dir\BCSP-RT-JOB1
#OUTPUTDIR#=C:\Output\Foobar 2013\Release

Please post the project file.

Thank you. I cannot see anything clearly wrong - you appear to use indeed the same names for the Build Constants, which could be one possible cause of the failure.

You are using the "/STDOUT" command line parameter, meaning that you don't have a build log. Please use the "/LOG" command line parameter and set a path for the build log, or simply pipe the STDOUT to a file with ... /STDOUT > logfile.txt.

In the log file, you should see something like this:

Reading in unattended build constants file...
> Constant set: #VERSION# = 2.8
> Constant set: #ReleaseBase# = C:\Bamboo\bamboo.home\xml-data\build-dir\BCSP-RT-JOB1
> Constant set: #OUTPUTDIR# = C:\Output\Foobar 2013\Release
Locating build configuration
...

If you don't have this in the log file, then the INI file wasn't loaded - perhaps the path you provided is incorrect?

Hi,

I tried with just a simple file, it still does not work. I have tried creating the setup in the latest trial release, still i am not able to successfully do unattended build.

I have two questions

1. Can there be a system setting issue in the PC.(i have tried them on 2 different machines and they have the same issue)
2. Is it possible to post a working suf file and constant .ini and the command line script to test from my end.


Thanks for your reply and help

I have finally got it working. But it is strange.

In the .ini file just before the [Constants] section if i put a comment ";test " making [Constants] as 2nd line, it works.

I had spend almost 2 days in this issue.

glad it works now
