Configure source distribution build specification to fail if an included VI is broken

Status: New

Unlike building a Packed Project Library, source distribution builds will succeed even if a contained VI is broken. For my use case this is undesirable - a broken VI being included in the source distribution is always user error, and I would like to be notified during the build process.

 

It would be helpful if the build specification for a source distribution could be configured to fail if an included VI was broken. By defaulting to false this could be added in a backwards-compatible way without breaking any existing build specifications or workflows.

I could write a post-build step that validates the VIs are not broken, but this wouldn't provide feedback until the build is complete. A native solution could abort the build early if VIs are broken.

Might want to add the option to add exceptions for specific VIs intended to be broken (some template VIs, "VI Tree" style VIs, etc.)
