Title: Message Title

Jarrad Whitaker created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-54036 Write-Error in powershell step behaves confusingly Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Components: durable-task-plugin Created: 2018-10-12 06:44 Priority: Minor Reporter: Jarrad Whitaker In the Release Notes for Powershell support, it is stated clearly, with an example, that writing to the error stream in powershell will fail that stage: Your powershell step may produce a failing exit status in the following instances: Something in your PowerShell script has thrown an exception Your PowerShell script explicitly calls exit with a non-zero exit code Your PowerShell script calls a native application that produces a non-zero $LastExitCode Your PowerShell script results in a non-empty error stream (with or without throwing an exception) However, if I try that myself, the stage succeeds (though error output is still written to the console): pipeline { agent { label 'windows' } options { skipDefaultCheckout() durabilityHint('PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZED') } stages { stage('write-error') { steps { powershell 'write-error "bang"' } } } } } [write-error] powershell.exe : C:\Jenkins\workspace\owpos\pos\frp\00-build@tmp\durable-2fc4febd\powershellScript.ps1 : bang [write-error] At C:\Jenkins\workspace\owpos\pos\frp\00-build@tmp\durable-2fc4febd\powershellWrapper.ps1:3 char:1 [write-error] + & powershell -NoProfile -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Comm ...
