[workflow-plugin] execute post build step regardless of any errors that occured before

[Clifford Sanders]

Hi,

I'm currently migrating a Maven job to a Workflow job.

There are UI tests so one of the first steps is to start Xvfb before executing the Maven command and stopping it afterwards.

sh "sudo /sbin/service xvfbd start"

sh "mvn clean verify -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true"

sh "sudo /sbin/service xvfbd stop"

This works as long there are no errors (e.g. compile, syntax).

Is there a way to force execution of the last step?

Thanks

Clifford

You can use try/catch/finally constructs.

Cheers

BTW if you can use xvnc instead, that plugin is now compatible with Workflow 1.8+ as a build wrapper. (I filed JENKINS-28928 for xvfb integration.)
