If a build fails without error messages in the output it is reported as successful
An environment problem caused a build to fail like this:
Started at: 2019-02-19 00:17:12.213075
running make -j10 -k all
/cvmfs/lhcb.cern.ch/lib/var/lib/LbEnv/306/dev/x86_64-centos7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/LbDevTools/data/Makefile-cmt-common.mk:188: *** Recursive variable `CMTPROJECTPATH' references itself (eventually). Stop.
command exited with code 2
Completed at: 2019-02-19 00:17:12.594313
Elapsed time: 0:00:00.381238
but the specific error message from make
is not recognized and the exit code is ignored (assuming that you always get an error message), so the build was reported as successful.
