fail hudson build on single unit test failure

Question

Is there a way to cause hudson to report a build as failed, rather than unstable, if only a single unit test fails? thanks.

Answer 1

Hudson actually enables the ignoring of test failures. It just needs to be put as a property in hudson. -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false

Answer 2

It's actually not a good idea to fail the build if tests failed when using hudson. Problem is hudson will not report the state of test pass/fail if the build fails. If the build fails, hudson deems it to not have completed properly and thus does not act on the result.
