failFast option for parallel stages should be able to set build result to FAILED

Issue Type:	Improvement
Assignee:	Andrew Bayer
Components:	pipeline-model-definition-plugin
Created:	2019-01-09 01:30
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Owen Mehegan

If a user has a Pipeline script with parallel stages, and they set 'failFast true' for those stages, if one of the stages fails then the build is immediately aborted. The result of the build is set to ABORTED. It would be better if there was a way to optionally have the build result be FAILED in this case. Although it makes a kind of logical sense for it to be ABORTED, because we have told Jenkins to abort the build, we did so because a stage failed. If we didn't failFast, the build's result would always be FAILED.

If a user has a Declarative Pipeline script with parallel stages, and they set 'failFast true' for those stages, if one of the stages fails then the build is immediately aborted. The result of the build is set to ABORTED. It would be better if there was a way to optionally have the build result be FAILED FAILURE in this case (in a scripted pipeline the result will be FAILURE) . Although it makes a kind of logical sense for it to be ABORTED, because we have told Jenkins to abort the build, we did so because a stage failed. If we didn't failFast, the build's result would always be FAILED FAILURE .

Here is an example Declarative Pipeline that demonstrates the problem:

{noformat}
pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Parallel Stage') {
            failFast true
            parallel {
                stage('Branch A') {
                    steps {
                     sh 'false'
                    }
                }
                stage('Branch B') {
                    steps {
                     sleep 10
                     echo "On Branch B"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
