Msbuild Errorlevel

Msbuild Stop On Error

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 you

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Honoring exit http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5312062/stop-msbuild-processing-immediately-on-compilation-errors codes from batch files invoked by msbuild up vote 7 down vote favorite 5 I have a batch file that is using the exit command to return an exit code. This batch file may, in some cases, be invoked interactively from a commandline, or in other cases, may be run as part of an MSBuild project, using the Exec task. If I use exit http://stackoverflow.com/questions/879023/honoring-exit-codes-from-batch-files-invoked-by-msbuild %errorlevel% within my batch file this works well and MSBuild sees the error code, however an interactive user who is running the batch file from a command window will get a rude exit of cmd.exe in this case. If I use exit /b %errorlevel% the interactive scenario does not get a rude exit, but this also means that the cmd launched by my Exec task also does not exit, and therefore MSBuild does not see the return value. As a solution to both problems, I am trying to use exit /b but launch the batch file from my build script like this: The idea being that I explicitly take the 'non-terminal' return from exit /b and manually call exit to propogate this value outside of cmd.exe where the Exec Build Task can see it. This seems like the perfect solution, however it isn't working. Exec still doesn't get the correct error value. msbuild batch-file msbuild-task share|improve this question asked May 18 '09 at 18:02 Daniel Fortunov 18k156193 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 12 down vote accepted One w
