Highlight failed tasks on summary when Error handler is defined

[pitermarx]

If I define an error handler with .ContinueOnError() or .OnError() the task execution will continue, but the summary wont show any info about that.
What if we highlighted in red (or smth else) the summary for failed tasks?

While not possible now that could be a could addition.

What you can do now is to have a Task that

• Depends on IntegrationTests
• With a criteria that's set before exiting IntegrationTests

That would result in an output like this

And if you run with Verbose logging it could look something like this

Example script for above

public class BuildData
{
    public bool IntegrationTestsSuccessful { get; set; }
}

Setup( setupContext => new BuildData() );

Task("Clean")
    .Does(() => {});

Task("Restore")
    .IsDependentOn("Clean")
    .Does(() => {});

Task("Build")
    .IsDependentOn("Restore")
    .Does(() => {});

Task("BuildDb")
    .IsDependentOn("Build")
    .Does(() => {});

Task("SetupTestDatabases")
    .IsDependentOn("BuildDb")
    .Does(() => {});

Task("IntegrationTests")
    .IsDependentOn("SetupTestDatabases")
    .ContinueOnError()
    .Does<BuildData>((context, data) => {
    throw new Exception("sdds");
    // Never reach here
    data.IntegrationTestsSuccessful = true;
});

Task("ValidateIntegrationTests")
    .IsDependentOn("IntegrationTests")
    .WithCriteria<BuildData>(
        (context, data) => data.IntegrationTestsSuccessful,
        "ValidateIntegrationTests skipped because non-sucessful IntegrationTests"
        )
    .Does(() => {});

Task("Default")
    .IsDependentOn("ValidateIntegrationTests");


RunTarget(Argument("Target", "Default"));
