Hi,
I am fairly new to ANT and cvs. I would like to have my ANT script check the workspace to see if it is in synch with my cvs repository before I deploy. I know how to make ANT run a cvs command such as "cvs -n -q update" to display files that are not in synch but can anyone show me how to make ANT respond differently based on the results of the cvs command? I would like it if I could just get the ANT script to stop (fail) if my workspace is not in synch with the repository.
Thanks,
Mark

I was able to get this to work by having the CVS output go to a file. I then run a batch file (shell script) which sets the errorlevel so that the exec task will fail causing the script to fail. This is kinda clunky. If anyone has a better solution, please post.
Thanks,
Mark

Why don't you just enforce update? If ant isn't absolute requirement then I'd offer you another building tool.
