RoboTask forum

I am triggering a task via RTaskRun.exe remotely from a build server but there doesn't appear to be a log created by this command line exe?
I'd like to know if the tasks are actually running and also which step is currently being processed, I have a email step as the last task but I would like to avoid that I waste time thinking my task is being processed when actually it has crashed......

I'd also like to be able to check a log in the event that my task fails in order to see which step has the issue.

Does the latest version of robotask offer this functionality? Has anyone else had this issue or been able to come up with a workaround?

Thanks,
Stephen

Why is so complex? You can run this task directly.
RTaskRun.exe doesn't write any logs. You can see log file in RoboTask in corresponding task.

There is error handling mechanism. Read more here, please: http://www.robotask.com/help/index.php? ... essing.htm

Thanks for the reply, I will take a look at your link.

To your question regarding why I do not run this task directly - I am using robotask to automatically install a project once a TFS build has completed, I need to be able to trigger the root installation task from within the TFS build definition workflow....... RTaskRun.exe is the only way I could see to be able to trigger this.
