Jenkins - simply robocopy in Jenkins finishes marks build with failure

Question

I’m trying to run a simple robocopy that returns zero errors but when I try to run the same in Jenkins i’m getting the following error.

D:\Jenkins\jobs\Jenkins Config Backup\workspace>exit 1 Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure Finished: FAILURE

Answer 1

robocopy returns a bit map

This is the batch file code I usually use:

set SOURCE= ...
set DESTINATION= ...
robocopy /MIR /LOG:example.robocopy.log.txt %SOURCE% %DESTINATION%
@echo robocopy exit code: %ERRORLEVEL%
@if %ERRORLEVEL% GTR 3 ( echo robocopy ERROR )
@if %ERRORLEVEL% GTR 3 ( exit %ERRORLEVEL% )
@set ERRORLEVEL=0

You could also do a "goto" and not exit.
