Break PowerShell Script when dotnet test fails

Question

In a small PowerShell build script I build and test a .NET application.

I now want to prevent further steps in the script if the tests result in one or more failures.

I tried to get the result of the test like this:

$exitcode = dotnet test  .\Domain.Tests
Write-Host "result $exitcode"

but unfortunately it doesn't return an exit code indicating success I just get the test testing description.

Is there a better way then parsing the string output for the failed tests count?

There is a $lastexitcode automatic variable, you can check that for the exit code.

I meant in `cmd`, I found it actually after posting comment here, but forgot to remove the comment. – Mehdi Dehghani Dec 06 '19 at 06:39
It is `%ERRORLEVEL%` btw, e.g: `IF NOT "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" GOTO Failure` – Mehdi Dehghani Dec 06 '19 at 06:40
