`fossa analyze` has no option for "all-or-nothing" analysis.

As observed in akka/akka-grpc#1466, fossa might return a zero exit code even if analyzing a project has failed. In that case the reason might be that there are multiple build projects found and only some can be successfully analyzed. We need to make sure that the command reliably fails if any of the builds cannot be analyzed.

Thanks for the input.

At the moment, this is as designed. Historically, our users prefer to upload SOMETHING, even if some of the builds fail. This is because most users don't want us to stop their CI from completing, even if their licensing isn't up to date

Theoretically, we could add an option to either report on any failure or upload on 0 failures. I will internally ticket this, and we will update this ticket with any new info.

I will also note that this does not affect fossa test. fossa analyze is solely responsible for this, though it would affect the results of fossa test.

Thanks, @scruffystuffs, an option would be nice.

Hi @jrudolph - fyi I'm transferring this issue to fossa-cli repository, as the spectrometer code is migrated to fossa-cli repo now, and all future dev work will occur in fossa-cli.

Hi @zlav, any update on this issue? We also find this really useful to have different exit codes for No analysis targets found in directory vs failed to analyze, so that we can customize the CI workflow to send appropriate feedbacks. Thanks
