<h2><a name="fail">Fail</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Exits the current build (just throwing a BuildException), optionally printing additional information.</p>
<p>The message of the Exception can be set via the message attribute
or character data nested into the element.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td>
    <td valign="top"><b>Description</b></td>
    <td align="center" valign="top"><b>Required</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top">message</td>
    <td valign="top">A message giving further information on why the build exited</td>
    <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top">if</td>
    <td valign="top">Only fail <a href="../properties.html#if+unless">if a property of the given name exists</a>
      in the current project</td>
    <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top">unless</td>
    <td valign="top">Only fail <a href="../properties.html#if+unless">if a property of the given name doesn't
      exist</a> in the current project</td>
    <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top">status</td>
    <td valign="top">Exit using the specified status code;
      assuming the generated Exception is not caught, the
      JVM will exit with this status. <em>Since Ant 1.6.2</em></td>
    <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>

<p>As an alternative to the <i>if</i>/<i>unless</i> attributes,
  conditional failure can be achieved using a single nested
  <code>&lt;condition&gt;</code> element, which should contain exactly one
  core or custom condition.  For information about conditions, see
  <a href="conditions.html">here</a>.<br><b>Since Ant 1.6.2</b>
</p>

<h3>Examples</h3>

<pre>  &lt;fail/&gt;</pre>
<p>will exit the current build with no further information given.</p>
<pre>
BUILD FAILED

build.xml:4: No message
</pre>

<pre>  &lt;fail message=&quot;Something wrong here.&quot;/&gt;</pre>
<p>will exit the current build and print something
  like the following to wherever your output goes:
</p>
<pre>
BUILD FAILED

build.xml:4: Something wrong here.
</pre>

<pre>  &lt;fail&gt;Something wrong here.&lt;/fail&gt;</pre>
<p>will give the same result as above.</p>

<pre>  &lt;fail unless=&quot;thisdoesnotexist&quot;/&gt;</pre>
<p>will exit the current build and print something
  like the following to wherever your output goes:
</p>
<pre>
BUILD FAILED

build.xml:2: unless=thisdoesnotexist
</pre>

Using a condition to achieve the same effect:

<pre>
  &lt;fail&gt;
     &lt;condition&gt;
       &lt;not&gt;
         &lt;isset property=&quot;thisdoesnotexist&quot;/&gt;
       &lt;/not&gt;
     &lt;/condition&gt;
   &lt;/fail&gt;
</pre>

<p>Output:</p>
<pre>
BUILD FAILED

build.xml:2: condition satisfied
</pre>

<pre>
&lt;fail message=&quot;Files are missing.&quot;&gt;
    &lt;condition&gt;
        &lt;not&gt;
            &lt;resourcecount count=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
                &lt;fileset id=&quot;fs&quot; dir=&quot;.&quot; includes=&quot;one.txt,two.txt&quot;/&gt;
            &lt;/resourcecount&gt;
        &lt;/not&gt;
    &lt;/condition&gt;
&lt;/fail&gt;
</pre>
<p>Will check that both files <i>one.txt</i> and <i>two.txt</i> are present otherwise the build
will fail.</p>
