[JIRA] (JENKINS-54523) Ability to stop an UNSTABLE declarative pipeline

Issue Type:	Improvement
Assignee:	Unassigned
Components:	pipeline
Created:	2018-11-07 20:38
Priority:	Minor
Reporter:	Jon B

I have a pipeline with with many steps.

If my unit tests fail, I want to mark the pipeline as UNSTABLE and then to stop the pipeline.

I am using Declarative style.

I cannot figure out how to stop the pipeline from continuing. If I use error(), the pipeline does stop but it also gets marked as failed.

Am I missing something? Can a pipeline be BOTH marked as UNSTABLE and also stop progress?

Re: Ability to stop an UNSTABLE declarative pipeline

Here's the only method I could find to make this work.. which is not a very good way to accomplish this:

 
                                                                pipeline {
  options {
    skipDefaultCheckout true
  }
  agent {
    label 'universal'
  }
  stages {
    stage('Stage 1') {
      steps {
        script {
          currentBuild.result = 'ABORTED'
        }
      }
    }
    stage('Stage 2') {
      when {
        expression { currentBuild.result == 'SUCCESS' }
      }
      steps {
        script {
          println "REALLY DONT WANT THIS TO BE EXECUTED!"
        }
      }
    }
  }
  post {
    aborted {
      println "aborted!"
    }
  }
}

I think the skipStagesAfterUnstable option (documented with other options at https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#options) is probably what you're looking for.
