What is causing the error in my CruiseControl.Net Project? - cruisecontrol.net

Question

I'm a bit baffled by the results I'm seeing in my CruiseControl.Net build log. The build fails after a few minutes but I can't figure out what's causing it.

Answer 1

Robocopy does not return proper exit status codes (that is, 0 on success). To work around this, you have to use the successExitCodes attibute on your executable task. Setting it to "0,1,2" should work (you want the task to fail on other results). (Robocopy exit codes list as a reference.)
