Summary: I'm trying to write some checkin tests using Ant. They use jdk14, so I do a
simple recusion to make sure JAVA_HOME is set properly. if="jdk1.4", I then run the
tests with a simple:
<java classname="jbtest.JBTestRunner" fork="yes" failonerror="true"> .... </java>
Works great. When the tests fail, I get a BUILD FAILED from Ant, just like I want!
Except... to set jdk1.4 I had called:
<exec executable="${antexec}" dir="." failonerror="true">
<env key="JAVA_HOME" value="../build/jdk1.4"/>
<arg value="${targetName}"/>
</exec>
And this I cannot get to fail. So even when the nested Ant script fails, this one
still succeeds, even though I have a failonerror set. I assume it's because the exec
actually does succeed, it's just the ant script that was called from it that failed.
Does this make sense? How can I get the outer Ant script to fail. Or more to the
point, when my tests fail I want total system failure. I want it to say BUILD FAILED
and just stop.
Any ideas?
Thanks
