[JIRA] (JENKINS-15900) A build failure in a parallel section does not mark it as failed

[eder_ste...@gmx.at (JIRA)]

Stefan Eder commented on JENKINS-15900 A build failure in a parallel section does not mark it as failed Took a quick look into the code and found out that the "parallel method" (find it here at about line 257: https://github.com/jenkinsci/build-flow-plugin/blob/master/src/main/groovy/com/cloudbees/plugins/flow/FlowDSL.groovy) does not evaluate the previous flow state (like "build()") and ignores the previous result. To prove that, I did something like this: out.println flowRun.state.result parallel ( { build("test-b") }, // this build fails { build("test-c") } ) out.println flowRun.state.result parallel ( { out.println flowRun.state.result build("test-d") }, { out.println flowRun.state.result build("test-e") } ) out.println flowRun.state.result Then the output will look something like this: SUCCESS parallel { Trigger job test-b Trigger job test-c test-b #1 completed test-c #1 completed } FAILURE parallel { SUCCESS SUCCESS Trigger job test-e Trigger job test-f test-f #1 completed test-e #1 completed } FAILURE Therefore I think the right result is returned but ignored by the parallel execution. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug. But in the meantime you can do the following workaround: if (flowRun.state.result.isWorseThan(SUCCESS)) { // do something in case of error } else { // do something in case of success } Hope that helps somehow.
