Jenkins and return code from windows batch

Question

I using a Jenkins (on a windows machine) job to compile some code for different targets via Ant. For doing so, I wrap the call to the ant target within a (windows) batch loo

Answer 1

@echo off
for %%t in (target1 target2 target3) do (
  ant -f build.xml build -DPARAM_TARGET=%%t
  echo ELVL: %ERRORLEVEL% 
  IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 ( 
    echo ABORT: %ERRORLEVEL%
    exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%
  ) ELSE (
    echo PROCEED: %ERRORLEVEL%
  )
)

IIRC The issue is that ant.bat is a batch file, so you need to call it, e.g.

@ECHO OFF
FOR %%t IN (target1 target2 target3) DO (
  CALL ant.bat -f build.xml build -DPARAM_TARGET=%%t
  ECHO ELVL: %ERRORLEVEL% 
  IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 ( 
    ECHO ABORT: %ERRORLEVEL%
    EXIT /b %ERRORLEVEL%
  ) ELSE (
    ECHO PROCEED: %ERRORLEVEL%
  )
)

Update

Actually there is a nicer way:

@ECHO OFF
FOR %%t IN (target1 target2 target3) DO (
  CALL ant.bat -f build.xml build -DPARAM_TARGET=%%t || EXIT /b 1
)
