Finally, try ant

Question

In my ant script that runs end-to-end integration tests, I start the process first, then do some other things, then run the tests, and then I need to make sure that I kill the process. However, I need to make sure that I kill this process, even if something doesn't work (so I need an equivalent to try at the end). What is the recommended way to do this?

You can use the trycatch task from Antcontrib

<trycatch property="error.message"> <try> <echo message="Run integration test..."/> <echo message="Start process"/> <antcall target="launchTests"/> </try> <catch> <echo message="Integration test failed"/> </catch> <finally> <echo message="Kill the process"/> <exec executable="kill -9 ..."/> </finally> </trycatch>
