What is the easiest way to >determine if a step succeeded or failed? Expressions maybe? By step, do you mean task, target, or something else? If it's per target, then the easiest thing to do is to write your own task that does the record, and invoke it at the end of every target. It will only be invoked if the preceding part of the task succeeded, so it knows what to record. You could then use the onfailure target to deal with the failure. I encourage you to think a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish. What are you planning on doing with this data? It's not uncommon for a NAnt build file to have many small targets that always succeed and hence are uninteresting. It's also common to have tasks with failonerror set to false, which creates a question as to whether you want to consider them as having succeeded or failed? In complex build systems, a given target can be called several times, either because of it being invoked with a <call> task or being included in subsidiary <nant> tasks. So the simple question of whether or not a given task or target succeeded isn't so simple.
