Psake failed builds are marked as success

Hi,

we use psake scripts for building - but even failed builds are recognized as successful builds - e.g.

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/leastprivilege/thinktecture-identityserver-v3/build/1.0.10114

Any idea what's wrong?

thanks
Dominick

   Hm, that's interesting I don't know why PSake selectively re-throws error: https://github.com/psake/psake/blob/master/psake.psm1#L444-L451 - as I understand the topmost PSake script doesn't throw the exception further.

   However, many use $psake global object for checking build status, for example: https://github.com/psake/psake/issues/119

   And live example from ChocolateyGUI: https://github.com/chocolatey/ChocolateyGUI/blob/develop/BuildScrip...

   Dom,

   I use the $psake.build_success variable both in AppVeyor, and when running build in TeamCity at work. It is the only, reliable, way, that I have found to report the build status back to CI system.

   Might be worth checking this with @randompunter, see what he thinks.
