Hi Support Team,
I use a FinalBuilder 7 project in my ContinuaCI build process. This project contains a ‘List Iterator’ action without any child; I do all required stuff with the iterator variable in OnAfterEachIteration.
This lead to a wrong indention in ContinuaCI log (in any ContinuaCI version I ever had installed):

Please note that in the FinalBuilder project the try / finally / end actions are on the same indention level. The ContinuaLog is indented every other appearance of the ‘List Iterator’ log line (see also attached image).
In case I move my script from OnAfterEachIteration to a ‘Run Script’ child action of the List Iterator Action (in the FinalBuilder 7 project) the indention (in ContinuaCI) is OK.

Hi Michael
Unfortunately FinalBuilder 7’s logging is not great with Continua CI, due to a difference in some concepts between the two products. FinalBuilder 8’s logging with Continua CI is better, but we still have some work to do. We will be reworking the logging in Continua CI in the near future to improve logging in general.
Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your answer. I think I should not put the upgrade to FB 8 on the long finger any longer 
Best regards
Michael
Yes, please do something about that. Reading FB logs in Continua’s log is impossible.
What worked for me though is exporting the FB log to Continua’s workspace as HTML (as the last step in the FB script), transferring it back to the server from the agent in the Continua stage workspace rules and registering it as a report. Then you get the nice HTML FB log embedded into the build’s Reports tab.
