Hi

I'm using LLBL Pro 2.5 and I'm trying to recreate the whole project from a batch file.

I'm using the command line tool to build the LLBL project. It works fine with all the tasks in the preset but it keeps failing with the only one that is an LPT template, the rest are TDLs.

The whole project runs perfectly via LLBL/Template studio including the lpt template.

If I disable the task then it creates the whole project from the command line with no problems. Unfortunatelly the lpt is key for the project and can't replicate it using TDL. :-(

Is it not possible to run lpts tasks from the command line? I'm I missing some setting/reference/app config....?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks a lot.

It works fine with all the tasks in the preset but it keeps failing with the only one that is an LPT template, the rest are TDLs.

Any errors returned?

Not in the log file, it just stops just on the ltp line:

SD.Tasks.Base.CreateAFolder::Execution task done.

BusinessLayerExtended Classes (SD.Tasks.Base.ConsumeLptTemplate)::Executing task. BusinessLayerExtended Classes (SD.Tasks.Base.ConsumeLptTemplate)::Using class 'SD.LLBLGen.Pro.LptParser.DotNetTemplateEngine' in assembly 'SD.LLBLGen.Pro.LptParser.dll'.

If I do debugging it returns and "Object not set to an instance of an object" exception, and again, If i rebuild it using LLBL it works sweet.

Thanks

This is the output on the console>

Hope it helps

The cli generator is placed in the same folder as the llblgen pro designer? If not, it might be it uses an out of date lpt task performer.

Anyway, if the cli generator is in the same folder, and you didn't modify the sourcecode of it (if you did, please state which changes you made), please attach the .lpt template + task + preset you're using and we'll have a look. If this is classified info, please open a helpdesk thread in the helpdesk forum, and refer to this thread in the first post, and attach the files there.

Hi Otis

I was running it from the bin folder, I've copied the exe to the root llbl folder and now runs without problems.

Thanks very much! Jaume
