NAnt has two built-in properties, nant.onsuccess and nant.onfailure, for specifying tasks to run on success and failure respectively.
Is there an equivalent in Ant?
I don't think there's an ant equivalent but you could use trycatch (part of ant-contrib)
<trycatch>
<try>
<!-- Your code here -->
<!-- Success message -->
</try>
<catch>
<!-- Fail message -->
</catch>
</trycatch>
Hope this helps
Kev Jackson, gave a neat example of an exec-listener in
his presentation, =
http://people.apache.org/~kevj/ossummit/extending-ant.html,
the sources of the exec-listener are included
You're able to kick off specific tasks depending
on the build result after your build has finished.
<exec-listener onSuccess="true|false">
..
your stuff goes here
..
</exec-listener>
Although I've marked John McG as the answer (as it's what I've gone with), I've also discovered that it's also possible to build similar functionality using BuildListeners.

We upgraded from Jenkins 1.609 to 2.106. When we do a release we want to start a job build number with 1 (Number of builds since the start of the project). We were doing this using a ant script to update the config.xml file, but it does not work in Jenkins 2. The XML file layout has changed some since v 1.0.
While I am think that I no longer want to do a 'replace' (because there is nothing to replace, and I have tried multiple variations of this), I am not sure of the syntax and arguments that I want to use here, to place a value '1' here. I think that I should be using Insert, but with what arguments.
This is the ant code...
<target name="replace.builds.all.time">
<copy file="${BuildConfigPath}" tofile="${BuildConfigPath}.bak" overwrite="true" force="true" />
<xmltask source="${BuildConfigPath}" dest="${BuildConfigPath}">
<replace path="/project/buildWrappers/org.jvnet.hudson.tools.versionnumber.VersionNumberBuilder/versionNumberString/text()" withText="${VersionNumberString}"/>
<replace path="/project/buildWrappers/org.jvnet.hudson.tools.versionnumber.VersionNumberBuilder/oBuildsAllTime/text()" withText="${BuildsAllTime}"/>
</xmltask>
</target>
The second 'replace' line, is where the problem is.
The 1.0 config.xml code looked like this. You can see that oBuildsAllTime had an actual value...
<buildWrappers>
<org.jvnet.hudson.tools.versionnumber.VersionNumberBuilder plugin="versionnumber#1.4.1">
<versionNumberString>${VERSION_NUMBER}</versionNumberString>
<projectStartDate>1969-12-31 05:00:00.0 UTC</projectStartDate>
<environmentVariableName>VERSION_NUMBER</environmentVariableName>
<oBuildsToday>-1</oBuildsToday>
<oBuildsThisMonth>-1</oBuildsThisMonth>
<oBuildsThisYear>-1</oBuildsThisYear>
<oBuildsAllTime>-1</oBuildsAllTime>
<skipFailedBuilds>false</skipFailedBuilds>
<useAsBuildDisplayName>true</useAsBuildDisplayName>
</org.jvnet.hudson.tools.versionnumber.VersionNumberBuilder>
<EnvInjectPasswordWrapper plugin="envinject#1.92.1">
<injectGlobalPasswords>true</injectGlobalPasswords>
<maskPasswordParameters>false</maskPasswordParameters>
<passwordEntries/>
</EnvInjectPasswordWrapper>
</buildWrappers>
The 2.0 config.xml is different in that there is no value for 0BuildsAllTime...
<buildWrappers>
<hudson.plugins.timestamper.TimestamperBuildWrapper plugin="timestamper#1.8.9"/>
<org.jvnet.hudson.tools.versionnumber.VersionNumberBuilder plugin="versionnumber#1.9">
<versionNumberString>10.1.09.${BUILDS_ALL_TIME}</versionNumberString>
<projectStartDate>1969-12-31 05:00:00.0 UTC</projectStartDate>
<environmentVariableName>VERSION_NUMBER</environmentVariableName>
<environmentPrefixVariable/>
<oBuildsToday/>
<oBuildsThisWeek/>
<oBuildsThisMonth/>
<oBuildsThisYear/>
<oBuildsAllTime/>
<worstResultForIncrement>SUCCESS</worstResultForIncrement>
<skipFailedBuilds>false</skipFailedBuilds>
<useAsBuildDisplayName>true</useAsBuildDisplayName>
</org.jvnet.hudson.tools.versionnumber.VersionNumberBuilder>
</buildWrappers>
I want to be able to insert the new build number into the config.xml file, using ant code.
I'm attempting to implement what I believe should be pretty basic conditioning but am not having any success. I have a target (deploy.DEVELOPMENT) and within this target I call two macros that backup/restore an ini file we using for configuration. The outline is this:
<target name="deploy.DEVELOPMENT" description="Deploy to DEVELOPMENT">
<echo>START: Deploy to ${mode.dev}</echo>
<echo>SOURCE: ${dir.source}</echo>
<macroBackupSourceConfigFile />
<macroUpdateConfigFile
keyDatasource="${setting.devdsn}"
keyServer="${server.devdevweb11}"
keyAppName="${setting.devappname}"
keyApplicationID="${setting.applicationid}"/>
<macroCopyFiles dirSource="${dir.source}" dirTarget="${dir.devdevweb11}"/>
<macroRestoreSourceConfigFile />
<echo>END: Deploy to ${mode.dev}</echo>
</target>
In certain projects an ini file is not required, therefore I would not need to run either of the two macros, just the macroCopyFiles would run. I'd like to just set a property at the top of my ant file to specify whether these macros should be executed.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is what you need... It will perform a check. If file abc.txt is available, abc.present property will exist. Other target will call check-abc and check wether the property abc.present exists. If so, it will execute, else it will not.
<target name="check-abc">
<available file="abc.txt" property="abc.present"/>
</target>
<target name="do-if-abc" depends="check-abc" if="abc.present">
...
</target>
I have a target, comprised of several steps, that sometimes fails. All this target does is report to Sonar so if it fails, it's not catastrophic. How do I get the build to succeed even if this specific target fails?
I've tried some combinations of 'condition', 'or', 'true', and 'sequential', but Ant hasn't liked any of them.
Following is what I have more or less:
<target name='sonar'>
<!-- do some stuff -->
<sonar:sonar key='key' version='version'/>
</target>
The only way I can see this could work is using the slightly outdated yet still useful antcontrib extension. Then you can use a try/catch directive and just echo your error.

Im trying to update the build quality of a build when the unit tests pass.. I figured how to update the quality of the build using a statement like this...
<Target Name="AfterEndToEndIteration">
<SetBuildProperties
TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Quality="Unit Test Passed" />
But i cant seem to isolate the Target when the unit tests SUCCESSFULLY pass.
You should be able to use the TestStatus property to make the target conditional as per Aaron Hallberg's blog post:
http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronhallberg/archive/2008/05/12/orcas-sp1-tfs-build-changes-part-2.aspx
<Target Name="AfterEndToEndIteration" Condition="'$(TestStatus)'=='Succeeded'">
...
</Target>
How would you manually trigger additional team builds from a team build? For example, when we were in CC.Net other builds would trigger if certain builds were successful. The second build could either be projects that use this component or additional, long running test libraries for the same component.
One way you could do it is you could an an AfterEndToEndIteration target to your TFSBuild.proj file that would runs the TfsBuild.exe command line to start you other builds. I'm thinking something like this (though I haven't tested it)
<Target Name="AfterEndToEndIteration">
<GetBuildProperties TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"
BuildUri="$(BuildUri)"
Condition=" '$(IsDesktopBuild)' != 'true' ">
<Output TaskParameter="Status" PropertyName="Status" />
</GetBuildProperties>
<Exec Condition=" '$(Status)'=='Succeeded' "
Command="TfsBuild.exe start /server:$(TeamFoundationServerUrl) /buildDefinition:"Your Build Definition To Run"" />
</Target>
I've done the same thing Martin suggested on a number of occasions (his blog is beyond helpful, BTW). However, I ended up needing to trigger cascading builds like this (based on some other complicated rules) enough that I created a custom task to do it. Keep your build scripts nice and lean and gives you some more flexibility and encapsulation possibilities.
public override bool Execute()
{
IBuildDefinition[] buildDefinitions = BuildServer.QueryBuildDefinitions(ProjectName);
foreach (IBuildDefinition build in buildDefinitions)
{
if(build.Enabled) //I did a bunch of custom rules here
{
Log.LogMessage(String.Concat("Queuing build: ", build.Name));
BuildServer.QueueBuild(build);
}
}
return true;
}
