Run makefile command from bash script and return error result code

Question

I have a python makefile. I can run its commands from my bash script as below

local make_lint_output=\"\"
make_lint_output=\"$( make test-unit  2>&1 )\"
e         


        

Answer 1

echo is succeeding, and thus returning 0. You have to capture the return code before running another command that may clobber $? (before the echo).
