flare command line arguments (not for building)

Post by vcsba »

Hi all,

Does the Flare.exe support any command line arguments?

I am not asking about building a target, e.g. with madbuild.exe, I am specifically asking about Flare.exe in general.
I know that it does accept the path to a project file and will open that in a new Flare instance.

However, I am wondering if it does support other arguments as well, and if so, which ones?

MTIA
Regards, vcsba

Curious if you discovered any other commands that work? Specifically things like running imports or some of Flare's built-in reports?

Thanks!

Did you maybe post about this on Slack? I did try some things out to see if I could get it to work and ultimately there is little support for command line options and Flare. I got a "not a valid Win32 application" when trying to open a reports file in the currently running instance of Flare. Even if it were to work, I can see how you'd actually run the report from the command line.

Nope, never posted anything in Slack.

I reached out to my Customer Success Manager and mentioned I'd like to see this capability and they were supposed to take it back to Engineering to evaluate the functionality.
