27<h2><a name="fail">Fail</a></h2>
28<h3>Description</h3>
29<p>Exits the current build (just throwing a BuildException), optionally printing additional information.</p>
30<p>The message of the Exception can be set via the message attribute
31or character data nested into the element.</p>
32<h3>Parameters</h3>
33<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
34 <tr>
35 <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
36 <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>
37 <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td>
38 </tr>
39 <tr>
40 <td valign="top">message</td>
41 <td valign="top">A message giving further information on why the build exited</td>
42 <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
43 </tr>
44 <tr>
45 <td valign="top">if</td>
46 <td valign="top">Only fail if a property of the given name exists
47 in the current project</td>
48 <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
49 </tr>
50 <tr>
51 <td valign="top">unless</td>
52 <td valign="top">Only fail if a property of the given name doesn't
53 exist in the current project</td>
54 <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
55 </tr>
56 <tr>
57 <td valign="top">status</td>
58 <td valign="top">Exit using the specified status code;

65<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
66
67<p>As an alternative to the <i>if</i>/<i>unless</i> attributes,
68 conditional failure can be achieved using a single nested
69 <code>&lt;condition&gt;</code> element, which should contain exactly one
70 core or custom condition. For information about conditions, see
71 <a href="conditions.html">here</a>.<br><b>Since Ant 1.6.2</b>
72</p>
73
74<h3>Examples</h3>
75<pre> &lt;fail/&gt;</pre>
76<p>will exit the current build with no further information given.</p>
77<pre>
78BUILD FAILED
79
80build.xml:4: No message
81</pre>
82
83<pre> &lt;fail message=&quot;Something wrong here.&quot;/&gt;</pre>
84<p>will exit the current build and print something
85 like the following to wherever your output goes:
86</p>
87<pre>
88BUILD FAILED
89
90build.xml:4: Something wrong here.
91</pre>
92
93<pre> &lt;fail&gt;Something wrong here.&lt;/fail&gt;</pre>
94<p>will give the same result as above.</p>
95
96<pre> &lt;fail unless=&quot;thisdoesnotexist&quot;/&gt;</pre>
97<p>will exit the current build and print something
98 like the following to wherever your output goes:
99</p>
100<pre>
101BUILD FAILED
102
103build.xml:2: unless=thisdoesnotexist
104</pre>
105
106Using a condition to achieve the same effect:
107
108<pre>
109 &lt;fail&gt;
110 &lt;condition&gt;
111 &lt;not&gt;
112 &lt;isset property=&quot;thisdoesnotexist&quot;/&gt;
113 &lt;/not&gt;
114 &lt;/condition&gt;
115 &lt;/fail&gt;
116</pre>
117
118<p>Output:</p>
119<pre>
120BUILD FAILED
121
122build.xml:2: condition satisfied
123</pre>
