Continuous Integration: Codeship + Gulp (Jasmine)

Question

My Continuous Integration works pretty great using Codeship except one thing: stop deploying and alert us when unit tests are failing.

Here is our current commands:

1. npm install
2. npm install bower
3. bower install
4. gulp test
5. gulp build

The problem is whether gulp test end with success or fail, the gulp build builds.

I succeed to console.log() my gulp test exit status but I have no idea about how to make Codeship listen to this exit status.

Answer 1

Using @mlocker answer and this discussion on Github, I've found a workaround that works fine for me:

gulp.task('test', function (done) {
  karma.start({}, function(exitStatus){
    done(exitStatus ? "There are failing unit tests" : undefined);
  });
});

The trick here is that if the exitStatus is different from 0, you'll get a formatError on "There are failing unit tests" which will exit gulp test with 1 making Codeship to stop and consider the build as failed.
