I'm checking out the PREBUILD and POSTBUILD option in a DSC.  I can launch my scripts, etc.

When there is a POSTBUILD error,  build.py properly says the build failed, but build.py is still returning 0 (success).  MyBuild.LaunchPostBuild() execution does not look like it affects ReturnCode which is returned at the end of Main.  "Conclusion" is updated though to indicate a failure.  Any ideas?  I assume build.py should return non-zero if POSTBUILD fails.

    if ReturnCode == 0:
        try:
            MyBuild.LaunchPostbuild()
            Conclusion = "Done"
        except:
            Conclusion = "Failed"
    elif ReturnCode == ABORT_ERROR:
        Conclusion = "Aborted"
    else:
        Conclusion = "Failed"
    FinishTime = time.time()
    BuildDuration = time.gmtime(int(round(FinishTime - StartTime)))
    BuildDurationStr = ""
    if BuildDuration.tm_yday > 1:
        BuildDurationStr = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", BuildDuration) + ", %d day(s)" % (BuildDuration.tm_yday - 1)
    else:
        BuildDurationStr = time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", BuildDuration)
    if MyBuild is not None:
        if not BuildError:
            MyBuild.BuildReport.GenerateReport(BuildDurationStr, LogBuildTime(MyBuild.AutoGenTime), LogBuildTime(MyBuild.MakeTime), LogBuildTime(MyBuild.GenFdsTime))

    EdkLogger.SetLevel(EdkLogger.QUIET)
    EdkLogger.quiet("\n- %s -" % Conclusion)
    EdkLogger.quiet(time.strftime("Build end time: %H:%M:%S, %b.%d %Y", time.localtime()))
    EdkLogger.quiet("Build total time: %s\n" % BuildDurationStr)
    Log_Agent.kill()
    Log_Agent.join()
    return ReturnCode
