Is there a way to copy files to a (temp directory on a) stageing server only if the build and the unit tests succeed?
Note that my answer is
Maven2oriented, so I am not completly sure that it will help you to solve your problem, but maybe be helpful for Java developers…With Maven2, a build is failing if any unit test is failing (however, you have arguments to make the build successfull even with test failures).
You can then attach an Ant task that will copy some files into a directory. If you attach this Ant task in the
packagephase, it will be run after the compilation and the test phase, and then will be executed only if these steps are successfull.Note that if you want to deploy your artifact (i.e. “copy” the WAR into a Tomcat server, for example), there are plugin for that (check Cargo plugin for example).
