I'm currently writing my first batch file for deploying an asp.net solution. I've been Googling a bit for a general error handling approach and can't find anything really useful.
Basically if any thing goes wrong I want to stop and print out what went wrong.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
Other than ERRORLEVEL, batch files have no error handling. You'd want to look at a more powerful scripting language. I've been moving code to PowerShell.
The ability to easily use .Net assemblies and methods was one of the major reasons I started with PowerShell. The improved error handling was another. The fact that Microsoft is now requiring all of its server programs (Exchange, SQL Server etc) to be PowerShell drivable was pure icing on the cake.
Right now, it looks like any time invested in learning and using PowerShell will be time well spent.
Python Unittest, Bat process Error Codes:
if __name__ == "__main__":
test_suite = unittest.TestSuite()
test_suite.addTest(RunTestCases("test_aggregationCount_001"))
runner = unittest.TextTestRunner()
result = runner.run(test_suite)
# result = unittest.TextTestRunner().run(test_suite)
if result.wasSuccessful():
print("############### Test Successful! ###############")
sys.exit(1)
else:
print("############### Test Failed! ###############")
sys.exit()
Bat codes:
@echo off

testcase_test.py && (
echo Error found. Waiting here...
pause
) || (
echo This time of test is ok.
