[SOLVED] Is there a way to let IAR CSPY return an error code defined by executed user program?

Is there a way to let IAR CSPY return an error code defined by executed user program?

I am using IAR EWARM's cspybat to run some unit tests for my embedded code using Unity. I would like an easy way for my build server to determine if the unit tests passed or failed. Is there a way for CSPY to return a nonzero error code if my unit tests fail? I have tried changing the return value in main() with no change. Is there a function I can call to force an error to be returned?

My cspybat batch file looks like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 7.4\common\bin\cspybat" -f "C:\Work\Sandbox\ST\stmicroeval\_iar_ewarm_project\settings\Project.UnitTest.general.xcl" --backend -f "C:\Work\Sandbox\ST\stmicroeval\_iar_ewarm_project\settings\Project.UnitTest.driver.xcl"

Solution

Unfortunately, no.

I've solved this by replacing "exit" with a function that prints a specific pattern, plus the exit code. I then wrapped the call to cspybat into a script that 1) strips the output of the extra output and 2) exits with the desired exit code.
