parallel targets
Hello
I'm using ant in cruise control and I'm having trouble defining my target
order.
I have a project with single 'init' target and multiple independent
'target_A...Z'.
I couldn't find the syntax that runs the 'init' target and only after its
success runs the other target independently.
meaning - run the next target regardless to the previous target's success.
I only know a way to run one dependent on the other.
<target name="target_B" depends="target_A">
this way, if target_a fails - all the other targets won't run.
Thanks,
Carmen

OK. That's slightly different. <junit> sets a property but does not act
on it.

pull this <fail>; add a target that prints a warning

<target name="test" depends="print-results"/>
<target name="print-results" if="unittest.failed" depends="target_b">
<echo>There was a Problem with endToEnd Tests!"</echo>
</target>
the message is only printed if the tests failed. In our big projects we
make the <fail> operation conditional because we may want to test lots
of modules and not stop at the first failure;

I need some indication if the tests fail, but i still want the other targets
to run.
When i say parallel i mean that a group of targets should run , not
depending on the other target's success.
My targets are in this pattern:
<target name="target_b" depends="target_a">
........
do all kind of work
........
<junit fork="yes" printsummary="yes" failureproperty="unittest.failed" >
....
<test
name="com.projectTarget.runnable.testrun.endToEnd.componentATR"
todir="${junit.output.dir}/${moduleName}"/>
....
</junit>
<fail if="unittest.failed" message="There was a Problem with endToEnd
Tests!"/>
</target>
Thanks.

There are several things:
First of all, if you want true parallel in running tasks, take a look
at the Ant <parallel> task. This truly allows you to run tasks in
parallel to each other.
Are you using <JUnit> tasks and these are failing, or is something
else failing. For example, you are calling JUnit from the command
line.
Most tasks have a way of saying "ignore failures". I believe the
<JUnit> task won't stop on failures unless configured otherwise.
Worse comes to worse, you can try the AntContrib tasks at
<http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/>. These include a very helpful
<trycatch> task. You can "try" something, and if it fails, you can
catch it or continue onward.

Hi,
you could try the following (compare the outputs of "ant task1 task2"
and "ant parallel"):
<target name="parallel">
<java classname="org.apache.tools.ant.Main">
<arg value="task1"/>
</java>
<java classname="org.apache.tools.ant.Main">
<arg value="task2"/>
</java>
</target>
<target name="task1">
<fail>Bad luck.</fail>
</target>
<target name="task2">
<echo>Hello, world.</echo>
</target>
Ad astra, Markus

My targets contain junit. when they fail - the whole target fails - this
information is usfull to me for other reasons.
I want to be able to keep running the other targets DESPITE the failure.
what's happening now is that if one of the target fails its tests - the
other targets won't start.

I dont know what "success" means for you and how you check that.
But you could let the build <fail> if you have any problems.
