GFix exit code

[Tommi Prami]

Hello,

I ran GFix with following command line

gfix.exe -USER XXXXX -PASSWORD yyyyyy -validate -full "C:\Data\TFB4.FDB"

Returned output of one of my test databases is:

Summary of validation errors
      Number of record level warnings : 1
      Number of database page warnings : 1

Despite of those warnings, gfix returns 0 as exit code.

Is this a bug or by design?

I would expect that if there is something found it would return exit code other than zero?

Thoughts?

But can be true, and are true AFAIK in this case. It is by design, but I
would consider it a bug.

As far as I'm aware, gfix will never return a non-zero exit code, or
maybe only if something in gfix itself fails, not if the service call
Firebird performs completes and reports validation errors.

I meant to say "Both can be true"...

As I tested, it seems that if I make a mistake with command line parameters, non zero is returned.

If I remember the tests from earlier today... 

Wait a sec, I'll check...

Yes...

gfix.exe -USER XXXXX -PASSWORD YYYY -sweep -parallel 32 "C:\Data\FB4.FDB"

On FB4 which do not support parallel sweep, I think. prints "help" to STDOUT and ExitCode is 1
