Jenkins windows slave - How do I catch windows batch file errors

[rakhee Kulkarni]

All,

I have build running on a windows slave which gets launched by a windows batch file. if the builds fail I do not see Jenkins catching the error. Please advise.

Thanks,

Rakhee

Jenkins checks the exit code. Run your batch file and try

echo %errorlevel%

Your batch file needs to exit with a non 0 code, i.e.

exit 1

Be aware jenkins can only check the errorlevel left by the last command so the following will succeed because the echo returns 0

somebadcommand

echo hello

Hope that helps
