[Orgmode] [Babel] No output returned if just one command is failing

[Sébastien Vauban]

#+TITLE:     Babel doesn't return output if one command fails
#+DATE:      2010-12-01
#+LANGUAGE:  en_US

* Abstract

When just one command fails in Babel, then there is no shell output at all.

* One command fails

For example, the last command (=datee=) is not found:

#+begin_src sh :var file=(buffer-file-name) :results output :exports both
echo $(basename $file)
datee
#+end_src

#+results:

Result set is empty, while the =echo= command did work, and did produce
output.

* All commands are successful

Only if all commands are successful, I see all results:

#+begin_src sh :var file=(buffer-file-name) :results output :exports both
echo $(basename $file)
date
#+end_src

#+results:
#+begin_example

#+end_example

Best regards,
