Yesterday, I had a test fail and fail out a build, but it didn't return to ant
a bad return code. Here's what I have:
Ant call to maven:
<exec dir="${dir.app}" executable="mvn">
<arg line="clean install"/>
</exec>
Maven call to tests:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/*Test.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Build output indicating error:
[exec] Tests run: 281, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 55

I'm not involved in the development of the mvn code, only the ant. Can anybody
offer some advise in tracking down why this guy is returning a 0 when he didn't
even get to the compile task?
Thanks,
Eric
