Mail task on Target failure

Hi,

I have ant project where there is set of targets. After successful
completion of all targets I call mail target at the end to send a mail with
attached logs with message build successful.

Now, my challenge is if one of the target fails then build exits so it will
not proceed to mail target which is the last one to perform on completion of
all. How can I use mail target to send mail on any target failure?

Any hints?

i would launch n number of ant targets from bash e.g
#!/bin/bash

tname=ant_target_$1 > log
echo "ANT: Running $tname task..."
ant $tname
antReturnCode=$?
echo "ANT: Return code is: \""$antReturnCode"\""
if [ $antReturnCode -ne 0 ];then
    echo "BUILD ERROR: I am failing hard..."
else
    echo "SUCCESS"
fi

tname=ant_target_$2 >log
echo "ANT: Running $tname task..."
ant $tname
antReturnCode=$?
echo "ANT: Return code is: \""$antReturnCode"\""
 
if [ $antReturnCode -ne 0 ];then
    echo "BUILD ERROR: I am failing hard..."
else
    echo "SUCCESS"
fi

echo "send along the LOG file to the mail task"
ant mail log

I know TeamCity does keep the logs, or can be configured to do so.  It does
for us.

+1 CI Servers.
It can be used to call an Ant script and email if there is success or
failure.  We notice that for some CI servers the log was not kept,
which is important for error situations.  But they are easy to set up,
so it worth investigating.

To take a different approach: have you considered using a continuous
integration server?  This is exactly the sort of thing they're good at, and
then your ant setup could just worry about building.

I've used TeamCity and have heard good things about Jenkins (
http://jenkins-ci.org/), but probably any of them could handle sending
email, since that's one of the main features people want in such a system.

Use the MailLogger instead of a custom target?

You could let the build go if an exec fails and store the result in an xml file. Then at the end check all the results and if one is non-zero fail after sending mail. 

To sum up, store the results of your tasks and check them all at the end. Send mail and then use the <fail> task if you need to fail the build.

There is the try/catch task in antcontrib
(http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html) that
allows you to catch exceptions in tasks. I haven't tried this anytime
... but maybe you could try calling a target within such a block.

Thanks,
