BuildFactory Automation

To start using automation in BuildFactory, you need to enable the automation feature in the preferences.

To enable BuildFactory automation:

  1. Choose BuildFactory > Preferences.
  2. Select the "Automation" tab
  3. From the preferences window, select the "Enable Automation" checkbox. This will start a timer set at 30 minutes. So, every thirty minutes your projects will build new versions of themselves.

BuildFactory allows you to enable automation of subversion-based projects only, which means you can have the same automated timer running, that will only build projects which have been updated in subversion. In effect, checking out the latest revisions from subversion to your local build area, and building them.

Note: Enabling the "Interrupt on potential conflicts" checkbox will cause an alert sheet to display if subversion encounters a potential conflict while updating.
