Failed Deploy.ps1 is not returning failure?

This failure of the Deploy.ps1 script (which I haven’t figured out why yet) is NOT showing up as a failure. Notice the “Return code of Powershell script: 0” and all looks fine in the dashboard.

Script ‘C:\Octopus\Tentacle\Applications\MyPackage.201
1.9.28.4904\content\Deploy.ps1’ completed.
Script output:
…

Thanks Nathan,

I’ll look into how I can detect these kinds of errors in my PowerShell host and get a bug fix out this weekend.

The best way is to catch exceptions/error in your script and “exit 1;” in the handling code
