Flare build fail when HTML generated

Post by djensen »

Hi, I've been using Flare for about 6 months. This morning, about 1 1/2 hrs ago, I published to HTML. All good. Then, after an hour, I attempted to publish again as I completed the next topic in my list. Unfortunately something went awry. MadCap forgot where the Target files are located. I can still publish PDF, so I'm not sure what's goig on. It looks like Flare is looking for the Projects folder UNDER the Output folder, which makes no sense at all. It didn't do so an hour and a half ago and I can't see what's changed. I've tried everything I know at this point and am really stumped. It's a real blocker.

Has anybody else experienced anything like this? If so, then what did you do to overcome the issue?

Please let me know. All responses read and gratefully accepted.

Thanks

Have you tried the Flare version of "turn it off and turn it on again"? :wink:

Close Flare.
In Explorer delete your Analyzer folder.
Re-open your project.

Flare then does a full analysis again to re-create the database, and that tends to fix quite a lot of problems.

Give that a go, and post again if that doesn't fix it. If it DOES fix it, save that little tip in your box of tricks, you may well need to use it another time.
