The email SMTP feature works great. I am sending the HTML log to the entire team if the build finishes.
Now I am trying to figure out how to send an email if the build fails. I know that Final Builder can do this - but I cannot seem to find a sample of how.
Can someone please show me how to do this?
I found the solution. It is to use the Try-Catch-End logic like this:
Enable or disable the Raise Exception action to test the Try-Catch logic.
In my FinalBuilder code, I send an email at the end of both Try-Catch sections with the FB HTML log attached. Finalbuilder then sends outgoing emails for both success and failure. If I have no email, then
I can be pretty confident that FinalBuilder is still running.

That works as long as the FinalBuilder task wasn’t terminated. Things like Visual Studio crashes can hang the process as well - Microsoft can launch error modal dialogs that require user intervention to unfreeze it.
Good point. Fortunately, I use the Delphi command line from inside FinalBuilder - which never requires modal interaction to unfreeze. It works exactly like I hoped it would without a problem.
