      When the build status is set as FAILURE by a triggered Build in a pre-build step, the current build status is not recognised in a post-build conditional step, and the step in performed regardless of the condition.

      Steps to reproduce:

      • create a freestyle project 'i_will_fail'
      • add step "run shell" with "exit 1" as content
      • create maven project
      • add pre-build step Trigger 'i_will_fail'
      • block job until 'i_will_fail' returns...leave default marks build as.
      • for the main build some test pom.xml and goals validate (this is irrelevant)
      • post-steps - run regardless of result
      • add a conditional post-build step with current build status success.
      • this step will run even if the build has been marked as failed in the pre-build step.

      Here is the output from a test I made.
