Keep trying to do the build until the error no longer occurs. We are working on the issue.

The build3 server is working fine.

Hi,

I am getting this error message for the build3 server:

"The build failed.
failed to generate the build environment, error while Creating Container."

Just surfacing this for your attention, will you be replying here to let us know once the issue is resolved?

We are checking on this.

No this is not the result of any programming changes. The cause is something else:

No...I meant whoever responded/added/contributed in this thread are the ones trying to push .cpp's through in the middle of the night and getting the 404/Compiling messaging.

The search functionality is resolved. Simply go to any Sierra Chart webpage, and reload it and then search again.

The builder still isn't working for me. Any idea when it might be back up and running

It is working for me now. The remote build. Also the local visual studio build continues to work fine.

Are you sure ?
On my side it's not creating the DLL file in /data folder (old working builds or new builds )

Even a simple test.cpp
#include "sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("Test Build")

SCSFExport scsf_TestBuild(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
if (sc.SetDefaults)
{
sc.GraphName = "Test Build";
sc.StudyDescription = "Minimal test study.";
sc.AutoLoop = 1;
sc.GraphRegion = 0;
return;
}
}

It worked for me. However, my code no longer works with the previous version. And the current version is a bit buggy.

Keep in mind the changes for Volume values from Integer to Double. So there will be necessary changes if you are accessing that data. Refer to the following:
