Hudson/jenkins does not fail on errors

Question

In my Hudson log I see error or fails, but hudson says ,that build is success. Is it right?

This is what hudson does (run ant few times)

call f:\runGenericAntBuild.bat %WORKSPACE%  f:\general-build.properties %WORKSPACE%\build\buildProjects.xml deploy %BUILD_NUMBER%  %SVN_REVISION%

call f:\runGenericAntBuild.bat %WORKSPACE%  f:\general-build.properties %WORKSPACE%\build\buildProjects.xml MyJavaProject %BUILD_NUMBER%  %SVN_REVISION%

call f:\runGenericAntBuild.bat %WORKSPACE%  f:\general-build.properties %WORKSPACE%\build\buildProjects.xml buildGrails %BUILD_NUMBER%  %SVN_REVISION%

call f:\runGrailsClean.bat %WORKSPACE%\MyProject

Thanks!

Answer 1

Have you got a single build step that is a batch step and it contains all four call commands? If yes, thats your problem.

Your batch looks like its not doing anything with errors in any of the steps, so the status of the batch is the status of the last command (your clean step)

Either split it into four separate build steps within Hudson/Jenkins, or handle the errors in the batch script.

e.g.

 call f:\runGenericAntBuild.bat your params here || exit /b 1  
 call f:\runGenericAntBuild.bat next params here || exit /b 2
 call f:\runGenericAntBuild.bat third param here || exit /b 3
 call f:\runGrailsClean.bat more param as needed || exit /b 4

This way the batch will exit with an error of 1-4 depending on the step that failed.
