Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Steps to reproduce:

I am using cfx's --force-mobile option with jpm, by mistake:

(addon-sdk-1.16)AichnerAd@Kuckuck:~/tmp/mozilla/JotFirefox/Jot$ cmd /c "%HOME%/tmp/mozilla/addon-sdk-1.16/bin/activate && jpm xpi -v --force-mobile -b c:/programme/nightly/firefox.exe"

(addon-sdk-1.16)AichnerAd@Kuckuck:~/tmp/mozilla/JotFirefox/Jot$ 


Actual results:

All is well at first glance.

No .xpi files is generated, however!

exit status also indicates a problem:

(addon-sdk-1.16)AichnerAd@Kuckuck:~/tmp/mozilla/JotFirefox/Jot$ echo $?
1
(addon-sdk-1.16)AichnerAd@Kuckuck:~/tmp/mozilla/JotFirefox/Jot$ 



Expected results:

I would expect some kind of error message too.

A previously generated .xpi file may be taken as the output of the failed run by mistake.

Sorry we won't be releasing any new versions of cfx, jpm is the replacement https://www.npmjs.com/package/jpm

So I don't think it's worth spending time to support this use case, I'm sorry.
