Msbuild Continue On Error
comprises of few C# projects. I am using MSBuild utility for this. How can i stop the build from proceeding further when there are compilation errors in any of the projects? Further how can i get the error messages and display them on command prompt? msbuild batch-file command-prompt share|improve this question asked Mar 15 '11 at 12:59 Ananya 325146 Dupe: stackoverflow.com/questions/3297194/… –Ritch Melton Mar 15 '11 at 13:35 @RitchMelton not a dupe since it is
Msbuild Onerror
about stopping on first failure for a solution. –Scott Lerch Jan 24 '12 at 6:03 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted There's no support for stop on first failure when building a visual studio solution. You can workaround this by taking the following steps: Set the environment variable msbuildemitsolution to 1 (set msbuildemitsolution=1); Invoke MSBuild in order to generate a *.proj file from the target VS solution; In the generated *.sln.proj file change RunEachTargetSeparately="true" in the target named Build to RunEachTargetSeparately="false"; Invoke MSBuild to build the updated *.sln.proj file. This answer is based on Dan Moseley answer to a post on MSDN Forums. share|improve this answer answered Mar 15 '11 at 13:26 Joao Angelo 31.8k57798 I've tried with msbuild in .NET 4.0. Not work, no .proj file is created, I monitored the msbuild acvitity by procmon as well as check the disk file. –zhaorufei Jun 13 '13 at 8:40 This is still supported in .NET 4.0; Make sure that you did not have the command prompt window open when setting the environment variable through system settings, if that was the case open a new command prompt window. –Joao Angelo Jun 13 '13 at 8:52 add a comment| up vote 4 down vote It would be easier to give you an answer if you would have posted relevant parts of your

If those non-critical tasks fail, you want the build to continue because it can still produce the required output. For example, if a project uses a SendMail task to send an e-mail message after each component is built, you might consider it acceptable for the build to proceed to completion even when the mail servers are unavailable and the status messages cannot be sent. Or, for example, if intermediate files are usually deleted during the build, you might consider it acceptable for the build to proceed to completion even when those files cannot be deleted.Using the ContinueOnError AttributeThe ContinueOnError attribute of the Task element controls whether a build stops or continues when a task failure occurs. This attribute also controls whether errors are treated as errors or warnings when the build continues.The ContinueOnError attribute can contain one of the following values:WarnAndContinue or true. When a task fails, subsequent tasks in the Target element and the build continue to execute, and all erro
807969 Comments 10 Status Closed Workarounds 0 Type Bug Repros 0 Opened 11/7/2013 7:28:03 AM Access Restriction Public Description After Visual Studio 6 an annoying change https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/807969/no-option-to-stop-build-after-first-compilation-error was introduced: in multi-project solutions, the build continues even after one project has failed, regardless of dependencies. This makes little sense for many people, since if project B depends on project A and the http://einaregilsson.com/stop-build-on-first-error-in-visual-studio-2010/ compilation of project A fails, what is the point of continuing? It wastes time and makes it difficult to find the original error (i.e. the one that needs fixing) amongst all the bogus on error output. Worse, there is no option to change this behaviour. Many people have fixed this using a macro which hooks onto a build event, but when VCbuild is used (i.e. a solution is compiled via the command line) such macros have no effect. It would be a courtesy to give long-suffering Visual Studio users the option to return to VS6's common-sense approach. I apologise if this problem stop on error has been reported elsewhere, but I couldn't find any reference to it.

Submit Posted by Edgars Batnya on 4/22/2016 at 1:05 AM It's very unfortunate that there's no option for this. This should have two modes: terminate build immediately on first error and terminate immediately after failed project is done.I do not understand the reasoning behind not including such options and it comes to me as no surprise why Microsoft is so slow to release anything. You are most probably wasting precious build server time gathering thousands of errors in the compile log, when instead you should have killed it and fixed that one error that caused 10000 others. It's all about the response and recovery time - not log correctness. If it takes 1 hour instead of 5 mins for an automated error report, then Microsoft is wasting their customer's time. Build some sort of log watchers and terminating MSBuild externally is not an option, as that would clutter the PCs with
fails to compile, thus saving you time. Download it in the Visual Studio Gallery. At work I often work on a solution that has around 25 projects. When one of the projects fails to build, Visual Studio insists on trying to build the rest of the projects, even though at that point I don't want it to, since I'm never going to run the program when some of the projects have failed. Often the other projects depend on the project that failed, and the error list gets filled with errors from those projects that just obscure the root cause of the problem. So, I figured I could probably do something about it. I googled around for a solution and found a StopOnFirstFailure property in MSBuild that sounded promising, but I couldn't find any good way to hook into the VS->MSBuild relationship. I'm sure there is some way to do this, so if anyone knows, please let me know. The next thing I found was a tip from Steve Dunn. It's a nice little macro that listens for an event that is fired after each project is built, and calls the Cancel Build command if a project has failed to build. You just open the Macro IDE, open the EnvironmentEvents.vb file and paste the following code in at the bottom: Private Sub BuildEvents_OnBuildProjConfigDone( _ ByVal Project As String, _ ByVal ProjectConfig As String, _ ByVal Platform As String, _ ByVal SolutionConfig As String, _ ByVal Success As Boolean) Handles BuildEvents.OnBuildProjConfigDone If Success = False Then 'The build failed...cancel any further builds. DTE.ExecuteCommand("Build.Cancel") End If End Sub This does 95% of what I wanted to do. But still, I'm not a big fan of Visual Studio Macros, I prefer extensions where possible so I can easily see in one place what things I have installed instead of digging through the Macro projects. I also wanted to activate the error window after cancelling the build and be able to turn this on and off easily. So, I made an extension out of it. The main thing in it is still the macro code from Steve Dunn above, but in addition the extension: Activates the error list after cancelling the build. Prints a message to the Build output window, saying why the build was cancelled. Adds a menu item to the Build menu, "Stop Build on first error", which you can use to turn the functionality on and off easily. Is context aware, the menu item and functionality are only available in multi-project solutions, since it would be pretty useless in a single project solution. And that's it. You can downloa
