Determining if your unit tests pass/fail when running them from Ant

[Billy Bacon <bi...@thirty3.net>]

I'm in the process of writing a shell script (for a cron job) that will call
my Ant targets on a nightly basis. What I'd like to do is prevent my war
file from being deployed to my production server if when my JUnit tests are
executed, 1 or more fail.

Is there a way to determine if my unit tests fail when executed through Ant?
Is there a return value that I should look for? I need to detect something
like this through a shell script....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I'll assume that you use the <junit> task.

First of all, you could make <junit> stop the complete build process
upon failures - see the haltonerror and haltonfailure attributes.

The alternative is to set a property if an error or failure, see the
errorproperty and failureproperty attributes.
