Conditional target execution

[Krishanu Lahiri <kl...@bizagile.com>]

How does one allow a target to be executed only if a previous target has
completed ?

Specifically, I have

<target  name="compile"  >

<target  name="unittest" depends="compile" >

<target  name="deploy" depends="unittest" >

How do I allow target "deploy" to be executed ONLY if target "unittest"
completed successfully.

I am running the <junit> task in the "unittest" target. This target
always seems to complete even if the actual test failed.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Using depend, just like you did.

You need to make your unittest target stop the build process. The only
way Ant knows that a task fails is if the task tells it - by throwing
an Exception.

Take a look at the haltonerror and haltonfailure attributes of
<junit>.
