Failing instead of completing build activities - possible?
Hi,
I want to use build activities to delineate my build, however I've noticed that build activities don't fail as I expect them to. Imagine I have a build with a target as follows (I've already tried this) <startBuildActivity label="Get file" autocomplete="true" ... /> <fail message="testing" /> <startBuildActivity label="Process file" autocomplete="true" ... /> The build obviously fails, but the build activity "Get file" is marked as complete even though a failure occurred before the next <startBuildActivity> or the end of the build script when it's automatically completed? In this scenario I want the build activity to be marked as failed so I can easily pinpoint whereabouts in the build a failure has occurred. This seems like a fairly normal request so have I missed something, as from looking around, at the API too, there doesn't seem to be a way to mark a build activity as failed, only completed! Thanks in advance. |

I don't know if there is a reason behind not allowing activities to fail, or if it is just something that the original Jazz Build team developers didn't think of. You should open an enhancement request. |

Thanks, seems odd that failure isn't taken into account when showing progress.
Anyway I've raised enhancement 105547 to track this issue. Thanks. |
