      Description

      I setup two freestyle jobs Job 1 and Job 2. Job 2 is a downstream job of Job 1 (Job 1 builds Job 2 as a post build action). Job 2 always fails.

      I setup a Workflow project with:

      build job: 'Job 1', propagate: true, wait: true

      Even if propagate and wait are set to true, my workflow project never waits for Job 2 completion and thus never fails.

            The flow is doing what you requested: starting Job 1, and waiting for it to complete, which it does (successfully). The fact that it happened to trigger a downstream job is irrelevant. (It may not even know about the downstream job, if that is using a reverse build trigger.)

            If you meant for Job 1 to wait for Job 2 to finish before itself completing, you would need to use the Parameterized Trigger plugin (or make Job 1 itself a workflow using build with wait: true).

            Thanks, I misread the documentation: wait for completion of the downstream build. is in singular
