Exit pipelines when a command fails (bash)

[epassaro]

Currently a when running a bash task on Azure Pipelines the succeeded or failed status is determined by the exit code of the last command (See #1162 for example).

Suggestion

Would be nice to make steps fail if any command fails by setting the SHELLOPTS=errexit variable across the entire job. Prepending this step to all pipelines should work:

      - bash:  echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=shellopts]errexit"
        displayName: "Force exit on error (bash)"

@epassaro check https://github.com/tardis-sn/tardis/pull/1210/files. I made the change.

As @kaushik94 proved, this piece of code works just fine! See: #1210.

Closed.
