subant failonerror build successful
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Saw a thread from 2004 where the user had multiple subant tasks that weren't dependent on each other so he set the
failonerror="false" for those tasks so the build could run all the way to completion. At the end of the build, ANT reported BUIlD
SUCCESSFUL when, in fact, one or more of the subant tasks had failed. He asked if there was a way that ANT would recognize that
subant tasks had failed and report the status as such at the end of the build. I found no answer for his question and I have the
same scenario and the same question. If a subant task fails ANT should report the overall build as FAILED IMHO.
I've been unsuccessful in finding a resolution to this in the documentation but maybe I'm just misunderstanding something.
Thanks.
Kevin

It's the right forum. Not all question get answers though...

What <subant> is missing is the ability like <java> and <exec> to pass
a propertyname to be set to something when an error is eaten up by
failonerror="true". This attribute is called resultproperty for these
tasks, and although it's not exactly the same thing you want, it's
similar enough.
If you're willing to use Ant-Contrib though, you could use its
<trycatch> around the <subant> calls, and deal with the failures
yourself. Ant won't automatically fail the master/main build at the
end, but you can given the info you record in <trycatch> and <fail>.
Not as elegant as what you propose, but I doubt its going to get
implemented, so I'd advise you the <trycatch> route. I'm rather a
proponent of the fail-the-build-if-anything-fails myself, FTR ;-) Good
luck, --DD

Re-Post.
Is this the wrong list to post this to? if so, what would be a better list?
Thanks.
