This is just a note to myself about the difference between Jenkins
resultandcurrentResult.
Declarative Pipeline#
Here is a test code from this ticket JENKINS-46325
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage ('Init') {
steps {
echo "Init result: ${currentBuild.result}"
echo "Init currentResult: ${currentBuild.currentResult}"
}
post {
always {
echo "Post-Init result: ${currentBuild.result}"
echo "Post-Init currentResult: ${currentBuild.currentResult}"
}
}
}
stage ('Build') {
steps {
echo "During Build result: ${currentBuild.result}"
echo "During Build currentResult: ${currentBuild.currentResult}"
sh 'exit 1'
}
post {
always {
echo "Post-Build result: ${currentBuild.result}"
echo "Post-Build currentResult: ${currentBuild.currentResult}"
}
}
}
}
post {
always {
echo "Pipeline result: ${currentBuild.result}"
echo "Pipeline currentResult: ${currentBuild.currentResult}"
}
}
}
Output
Init result: null
Init currentResult: SUCCESS
Post-Init result: null
Post-Init currentResult: SUCCESS
During Build result: null
During Build currentResult: SUCCESS
[test-pipeline] Running shell script
+ exit 1
Post-Build result: FAILURE
Post-Build currentResult: FAILURE
Pipeline result: FAILURE
Pipeline currentResult: FAILURE
ERROR: script returned exit code 1
Finished: FAILURE
Scripted Pipeline#
Here is a test code from cloudbees support case
Example that forces a failure then prints result:
node {
try {
// do something that fails
sh "exit 1"
currentBuild.result = 'SUCCESS'
} catch (Exception err) {
currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'
}
echo "RESULT: ${currentBuild.result}"
}
Output:
Started by user anonymous
[Pipeline] Allocate node : Start
Running on master in /tmp/example/workspace/test
[Pipeline] node {
[Pipeline] sh
[test] Running shell script
+ exit 1
[Pipeline] echo
RESULT: FAILURE
[Pipeline] } //node
[Pipeline] Allocate node : End
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: FAILURE
Example that doesn’t fail then prints result:
node {
try {
// do something that does not fail
echo "Im not going to fail"
currentBuild.result = 'SUCCESS'
} catch (Exception err) {
currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'
}
echo "RESULT: ${currentBuild.result}"
}
Output:
Started by user anonymous
[Pipeline] Allocate node : Start
Running on master in /tmp/example/workspace/test
[Pipeline] node {
[Pipeline] echo
Im not going to fail
[Pipeline] echo
RESULT: SUCCESS
[Pipeline] } //node
[Pipeline] Allocate node : End
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS
