I’m writing an ant build script to run regression tests for an application. I need to run the test cases sequentially and only if the previous test run was successful. Is there a way I can look a the output of the build to decide if the next target can be called?

 [exec] [revBuild] RC = 1
 [exec] -------------------------------------------------
 [exec] Result: 1

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 3 minutes 23 seconds

In the above output, the called application has failed. Is there a way I can search for the application return code in the build output, based on which the next ant target(to run the next test case) can be called?

    You probably just want to set the failonerror attribute of the exec task to true. If you do this and the executable’s return status code is anything other than 0, then the buildwill fail.

    Youi could also store this status code in a property using the resultproperty attribute, and execute some task only if this property is set (or is not set).
