Jenkins with pylint gives build failure

I added a build step to execute a Python script.
In this script pylint is called with the lint.Run(..args) to check the code.
The script works but in the end, the build fails with the only error message:

Build step 'Execute Python script' marked build as failure

Someone has an idea why this happens?

Solution

  • it seems that your pylint execution exit with a non-zero status (missing script, bad options...), maybe you exit the script with an exception raised or a sys.exit(something_else_than_zero)
