I found what the problem is. I treat this script as a batch file, and in
batch file programming you normally use various constructs to return an
error code. E.g.
verify generate_error 2>NUL
goto :EOF
would be one construct. Another one would be:
exit /b 12
Both will exit the script, but not the cmd interpreter, with a non-zero exit
code. Using "exit" directly (without the /b) will exit the invoking command
interpreter, i.e. your command window will disappear if you run it from a
command window. On UNIX, of course, this isn't a problem since you can't
exit the invoking command interpreter. On Windows... sigh... :-)
At any rate, it looks like this error code is not picked up and returned by
the command interpreter that svnserve invokes. As a matter of fact, this
can be easily seen when you save the "@exit /b 12" above as a script, e.g.
t.cmd, and running it from the cmd prompt:
> t.cmd
> echo %ERRORLEVEL%
12
> cmd /c t.cmd
> echo %ERRORLEVEL%
0
Whether this is to be expected or not, I'll leave to the experts. Avoiding
this problem in the command interpreter involves changing the invocation to
something like:
cmd /c "call t.cmd || exit 1"
Thanks for listening,
