I have a groovy script to cancel a running job (behaves similar to "cancel" in the jenkins gui). I want to abort build in a way that nothing to be executed afterwards.
Using build.doStop() I am able to abort the build steps but aborting the build does not stop executing the post build actions. Is there any way that we can abort the postbuild action as well?
I appreciate any help or suggestions, thanks
Maybe it's a late reply, but better ever than never
Try adding a Groovy Postbuild or Execute a set of scripts (and then in Build Steps select Execute System Groovy Script) as a first post build action. You can use either method, stop() or interrupt().
Nevertheless, the build always finishes as failed (couldn't figure out why).
Tested on Jenkins 2.73.1

I want to execute a shell scripts if the Jenkins job build successful or another scripts if the Jenkins job build failed.
I added the post build task plugin, but it seems only can execute a shell in all status or just successful status, cannot specify another shell script to be run once build failed, the two scripts should be run exclusively.
are there anyone can help me on this?
use Post Build Task plugin for conditional steps
I use Conditional BuildStep Plugin and Text Finder Run Condition Plugin to execute steps when the build fails.
But there's a limitation with this method: You have to find a text that is displayed ONLY when your build fails.
See the pictures below:
I add exit 0 at the end of the script to force the build to be successful so that the program can execute the next step, which is Conditional steps(multiple).
You will see Execute script after a failed build. being displayed on console output when the job fails.
This is the execution result.
You will also need to find a text that is displayed ONLY when the first step succeeds so that you can trigger another script.
I am trying to force a unit test job to success if the main build returned a failed exit code. Here is how I configured it and it is not working (see screenshot). Does anyone know any reason why this shouldn't work? In this example I just want to show that a failing job can be changed to a passing job by a groovy postbuild step. The plugin doc implies that this should work.
The main build runs a batch script with "EXIT 1" to fail the build.
A Groovy Postbuild step runs manager.buildSuccess() in an attempt to force the build to success (but it fails to do so with no error).
I found a discussion about that problem on jenkins-JIRA.
As a workaround it is proposed to use reflection to make the build successful:
manager.build.#result = hudson.model.Result.SUCCESS
This workaround doesn't work for me, but perhaps it can help you
Install Groovy Post Build Plug in.
Then add the below Groovy Script.
manager.build.#result = hudson.model.Result.SUCCESS
Uncheck the Use Groovy Sandbox. This worked for me.
In the interest of reducing build times I would like to only clean down the Jenkins job workspace if a build fails. Is there of doing this using post build action? Does Jenkins set a variable to the effect of 'BUILD FAILED' that can be read in a script that could be use in the post build action section of the job config?
Thanks in advance.
Post-build Task plugin can read your console output and execute scripts if regex is found. When a build step fails, it will print "BUILD FAILED" into console output.
Configure post-build task to look for that, and execute the cleanup in that case.
Workspace Cleanup Plugin has an option just for that. Add its post build step, tick particular checkbox and it will clean only failed (unstable?) builds.
Is it possible to run a Nant script as a Jenkins post build action?
I get the option to run a script as a Build Step but not as a build action. Is there any particular plugin which enables this option.
The reason I am looking for this functionality is that I need to run a script which depends on the ArtifactDeployer post build action. If i specify the code in the build step it gets executed before the ArtifactDeployer and the build fails
You can use the Post Build Task Plugin
edit
One way of getting the build number if it's not working with this plugin is using the Groovy Post Build Plugin
With it you can execute groovy code as a post build action, get the build number and execute NAnt
the build number is accessible from the following property
manager.build.number
Post-build Actions -> Execute a set of script run after a build when it succeeds or fails. My experience shows that it only sometimes runs when a build is aborted.
As advised above, the Post-build Actions -> Post build task (via the named post task plug in) is always evaluated for run (regardless of the build exit status). Additional setting via phrase in the log ("Build was aborted") works reliable for me.
My problem was to run something even on an aborted build and post build task sorted out this problem.
I have a job in Jenkins which triggers another one.
How do I make the job abort if the triggered one fails?
Thanks

You can open http://$HOST/jenkins/job/$PROJECT/$BUILD/stop
Use parametrized trigger plugin from here.
Use it as a build step ("Trigger/call builds on other projects"), check "Block until the triggered projects finish their builds" box, and choose "Fail this build step if the triggered build is worse or equal to FAILURE".
You can add the post build task to the triggered job that will:
run if Finished: FAILURE found in the build log,
execute shell:
curl "$UPSTREAM_BUILD/stop" >/dev/null
$UPSTREAM_BUILD neds to be specified by parameter or you can determine it somehow using API...
I am currently setting up my matrix builds to abort all other configurations if one failed and it works as above.
