      Hi we upgraded our Jenkins version today from 1.574 to the latest 1.590.

      We had a job which ran a groovy postbuild script that would mark a trigger job as failed if any of the downstream jobs from the trigger failed.

      This worked on the previous version we were using, but now we are getting:

      ERROR: Failed to evaluate groovy script.

Build step 'Groovy Postbuild' changed build result to FAILURE
Build step 'Groovy Postbuild' marked build as failure

      The script looks like this:

      import jenkins.model.Jenkins
import hudson.model.*

def fawTriggerTest = Jenkins.instance.getItem('faw-trigger-tests')
def buildNumber = manager.build.buildVariables.VERSION_NUMBER as int
def build = fawTriggerTest.getBuildByNumber(buildNumber)
manager.listener.logger.println  "faw-trigger-test $buildNumber currently is ${build.result}"
manager.listener.logger.println "About to mark $buildNumber as failed"
build.setResult(Result.FAILURE)
manager.listener.logger.println  "faw-trigger-test $buildNumber is now ${build.result}"

      We've looked at the API and see that we are not allowed to change status of a COMPLETED job. Is this a new update seeing as this worked previously?

      If we are no longer allowed to do this, is there a way we can mark another job as a failure once it is in a completed state.

      P.S. We havent updated the Groovy PostBuild plugin due to a warning on the updates page which is quite off putting.
