Is it possible to call final builder standard version in command line with this:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\FinalBuilder 8\finalbuilder8.exe” -r -e "d:\test.fbp8"
Best regards
Hi Marius Céré,
Yes that should automatically run the supplied project. You can find all the command line options for FinalBuilder 8 located here:

Thanks Jason!!
Why is this page no longer loading?
only white page / no content
I can’t find anything below there either.
https://docs.finalbuilder.com/fb/8.0/finalbuilder-ide-reference/finalbuilder-ide-reference.html
My problem is that some parameters -v are ignored and the variables will not be set.
Looks like that page got missed when we moved to the new docs system - we’ll get that sorted today. Edit - done.
Note that if you are running from the command line or scheuler, we recommend using the console version fbcmd.exe

Usage
FinalBuilder.exe [switches]
Switches
| Switch | Behaviour | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -n or /n | Hide the splash screen when starting up. | /n |
| -r or /r | Automatically run the project file passed in on the command line. | /r “MyProject.fbp7” |
| -e or /e | Exit when done running.******* | /r /e |
| -m or /m | Minimize IDE when starting. This is useful when you are scheduling a project and you don’t want the IDE to appear (instead you will just see the tray icon) | /m |
| -f or /f | Don’t exit if an error occurs while running.******* | /r /e /f |
| -v or /v | Set FinalBuilder variables, in the form VarName=VarValue. The variables must be already defined Project or User variables.******* |
Separate multiple name/value pairs with semicolons. If the variable value contains spaces, enclose it in quotes.|/vOutputDIR=“d:\Output\My Output”;DCUDIR=d:\temp\dcu|
|-a or /a|Allow interactive actions (prompt for variables, message boxes, etc.) in an automatic build.|/r /a|
|-o or /o|Close any other instances of the FinalBuilder IDE which are idle with unmodified copies of the same project file.|/r /o|
|-of or /of|Forcibly close any other instances of the FinalBuilder IDE which are open with a copy of the same project file. The IDE will first attempt to close cleanly, otherwise will terminate a running project or force terminate a stuck project. Unsaved changes to projects will be lost. Mutually exclusive with -o.*†|/r /of|
|-tl or /tl|Log to a temporary log file, instead of the project log file.
With this option enabled, the same project can be open multiple times concurrently. Log history will be lost when the FinalBuilder IDE closes.|-tl|
|-z or /z|Enable live logging during automated run. Normally live logging is disabled when using -r (for performance reasons.) This option can be used for debugging and monitoring purposes.*******|-r -z|
******* = Only valid when Auto Run (-r) switch is included.
† = Warning: Forcibly closing other projects may cause loss of data and should be used sparingly.
When running FinalBuilder as a scheduled task, you should always use the /r and /e switches.
