I'm having difficulty catching errors in nant using "onfailure".
Onfailure gets called on an error (good), but the actual error doesn't
seem to be available until *after* onfailure has already run.
For example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="OnFailureTest" default="foo">
<property name="nant.onsuccess" value="onsuccess"/>
<property name="nant.onfailure" value="onfailure"/>
<target name="foo" >
<fail message="=======>Here is the failure message!"/>
</target>
<target name="onfailure">
<echo message="hello from onfailure . . . I want to
report the error but I don't know what it is ! !"/>
<!-- I'd like to email the build error, but I don't
know what it was yet ! . . . -->
<mail subject="Build failed." format="Html" from="build"
tolist="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailhost="mailServer"
message="and the build error is . . . ?">
<files>
<include
name="c:\stuffIWantToEmail.html" />
</files>
</mail>
</target>
<target name="onsuccess">
<echo message="Build successful . . . "/>
</target>
</project>
To get around this, I stopped using onsuccess and onfailure altogether,
and switched to the MailLogger.
This works much better, but "<mail>" does a couple things that
MailLogger doesn't:
1) I want to be able to specify MailLogger.body.format = html
2) I want to be able to include a fileset in the body of the
email, the way "<mail>" takes "<files>".
For example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="MailLoggerTest" default="foo">
<property name="MailLogger.mailhost" value="mailServer" />
<property name="MailLogger.from" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
<property name="MailLogger.body.format" value="html" />
<!-- <mail> has this, MailLogger doesn't -->
<property name="MailLogger.failure.to" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
<property name="MailLogger.failure.subject" value="Build
Failure" />
<property name="MailLogger.success.to" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
<property name="MailLogger.success.subject" value="Build
Success" />
<!-- Mail logger works perfectly: I'll get the error in the body
of the email. Great!!
But now I'd like to include some more info with the email using
<files>, like I can in the mail task.
I need this: -->
<property name="MailLogger.success.files" value="files"/>
<fileset id="files">
<include name="c:\stuffIWantToEmail.html" />
</fileset>
</project>
Changing Log.cs to allow for including a fileset and html formatting
with MailLogger isn't a big deal (I can post a diff),
but am I missing something with the way nant handles errors ?
Thanks,
Jeff
