guarantee that the process 'exits' on failure

[marianopeck]

I've not found a way to guarantee that the process 'exits' on failure. Any walkback inducing error will launch the interactive debugger. I've tried to intercept most prompts and errors such that Jenkins is told of the error, but definitely not all. If nodialog.exe does not 'exit' then Jenkins waits forever for it to finish. The only way to 'fix' this is to login to the desktop running the jenkins slave and answer whatever prompt is being displayed in the VA Smalltalk UI.

Another customer suggest doing something like this:

[
"All build process code here"



] on: ExAll	do:
	[:signal | 
		(Notification handles: signal) 
			ifTrue: [signal pass] 
			ifFalse: [
				
				| errorDescription |
				errorDescription := exception description.
				self log: ('Unexpected Error: %1' bindWith: errorDescription).
				MinimalWalkbackDumper new dumpWalkbackDueTo: errorDescription.
				System exit: 9006 withObject: nil
			
			]
	]

Of course, you can adapt what you do with the error (logging, dumping walkback, whatever)
