hello list
i have a target for a cruisecontrol test.

    <ant dir="../../../test" inheritAll="false">

    <echo>Stopping Lenya..</echo>
    <exec dir="${basedir}" resolveexecutable="true"

  </target>

it executes a shell scrip that start the webapp. then it uses ant to
test the webapp and after the test it should stop the webapp.

it works fine as long as the tests are working fine, but as soon a test
fails the whole things is stoped and does not execute the stop script
for the webapp. but it is important execute the last step even if the
step before fails.

does sombody have a hint for me?


The way I have done this is dont have the junit tests fail, instead set 
a property if there was an error or failure. Then you shut down the 
server after running the tests and before creating the reports and 
calling <fail>

More recently I've been using cactus, which has an extended junit task 
that lets you declare different  <sequence>s to
run to start or stop an app server before and after running the tasks. I 
think it's a bit cactus biased, but may work for lenya too.
