Components:	groovy-plugin, pipeline
Created:	2018-05-21 10:48
Environment:	jenkins: jenkins:2.123-alpine (running in docker) Pipeline: Declarative: 1.2.9 Pipeline: Groovy: 2.53
Labels:	timeout retry abort pipeline declarative
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	David Constenla

When a declarative timeout call is fired inside of a retry, retry is not being triggered and job execution is aborted, the only way to make it work is by surrounding the timeout operation with a try/catch.
