[JENKINS-74009] Failures in parallel branches don't update currentBuild.currentResult #1692
Description
When a branch of "parallel" fails other branches still see currentBuild.currentResult == "SUCCESS".
I expected the whole build to be already marked as failed when one branch failed.
Example pipeline, with logs below. Note that "Failed in branch Fail fast" is printed a few seconds before entering the Deploy stage:
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Parallel stage') {
parallel {
stage('Fail fast') {
steps {
script { sh 'false' }
}
}
stage('Fail slow') {
steps {
script { sh 'sleep 10 && false' }
}
}
stage("Build and deploy") {
stages {
stage('Build') {
steps {
script { sh 'sleep 5' }
}
}
stage('Deploy') {
when { expression { currentBuild.currentResult == "SUCCESS" } }
steps {
script {sh 'echo "running the deploy"' }
}
}
}
}
}
}
} // stages
} // pipeline
