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.
