how to fix - stageResult set to FAILURE but still get success in jenkins

Question

I'm trying to create a very simple pipeline, it has one stage and one step.

it uses the job 'build' I created as freestyle (which works) but I added an error (the parameter project name has a wrong value - 'test3' instead of 'test')

when I ran it, it stay green and send "success" although it failed - if I enter the log I'll see this:

Running in Durability level: MAX_SURVIVABILITY
[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
[Pipeline] node
Running on Jenkins in C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\pipeline testing
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (1)
[Pipeline] catchError
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] build (Building build)
Scheduling project: build
Starting building: build #62
[Pipeline] }
ERROR: build #62 completed with status FAILURE (propagate: false to ignore)
[Pipeline] // catchError
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS

I tried using the new plugin: catchError(buildResult: 'SUCCESS', stageResult: 'FAILURE')

which as I understand is suppose to send "FAILURE" for stage and "SUCCESS" for the build as a whole.

the stageResult doesn't work for me.

I tried adding "propagate: true" for the "build job:" but it didn't help either. this is the pipeline itself:

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages 
    {
        stage('1') 
        {
            steps 
            {
                catchError(buildResult: 'SUCCESS', stageResult: 'FAILURE')
                {
                    build job: 'build',parameters: [string(name: 'Project_Name', value: 'test3'), 
                    string(name: 'Environment_Name', value: 'Dev_Env_1')]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This is a really "on the point" feature for what I need but it refuses to work. Instead of getting a failure and continuing with the project I get success each time.

It does continue (if I have more stages) but the issue is that I need it to be red and tell me the stage failed instead of green with success.

I did updated my jenkins version to 2.192 pipeline groovy is 2.74 and "pipeline: basic steps" plugin to 2.18

EDIT: the solution in the end was to update all the rest of the plugins

Answer 1

Besides having following versions of plugins, seems (as discussed on chat) there were other plugins as well which had to be updated.

Pipeline Basic Steps: 2.18
Pipeline: Groovy version 2.74
Pipeline: Basic Steps version 2.18

After updating all the plugins in Plugins section's (http://<JENKINS_HOME>/pluginManager/) Updates tab, issue got resolved.
