propy.bat does not preserve python.exe exit code

Question

I need the python.exe exit code to detect if our unit test suite has failed.
But propy.bat (ArcGIS Pro 2.1) does not preserve the exit code from python.exe.

Any ideas for a workaround - or could we maybe see it fixed in a coming release?

In propy.bat, try replacing the following python.exe %* @call %deactivate_path%‍‍ with python.exe %* @set pythonerror=%errorlevel% @call %deactivate_path% exit /b %pythonerror%‍‍‍‍

Perhaps run your test suite in the arcgispro-py3 conda env (eg using proenv.bat) and call python directly rather than calling propy.bat.
