failFast has no effect when withCredentials is used

Details

    Description

      When wrapping a long-running step inside a parallel branch in withCredentials, failFast will no longer result in the long-running branch being terminated. I'll use the failFast example at https://github.com/kmadel/jenkins-workflow-examples/blob/master/failFast.groovy:

      This works
      stage 'parallel with failFast'
def error;
node {
  try {
    parallel(
      b: { error 'died' },
      // make sure this branch takes longer than b
      a: { sleep 35; writeFile text: '', file: 'a.done' },
      failFast: true
    )
  } catch (e) {
    error = e.toString()
  }
}
stage 'failFast Success with error'
echo "error: ${error}"

      That works fine. However, if I try to use withCredentials, the longer-running a branch continues normal execution, and the build only fails once it's done:

      This doesn't work
      stage 'parallel with failFast'
def error;
node {
  try {
    parallel(
      b: { error 'died' },
      // make sure this branch takes longer than b
      a: { withCredentials([[$class: 'StringBinding', credentialsId: 'some-credentials-id-here', variable: 'SOME_ENV_VARIABLE']]) {
        sleep 35
        writeFile text: '', file: 'a.done'
      } },
      failFast: true
    )
  } catch (e) {
    error = e.toString()
  }
}
stage 'failFast Success with error'
echo "error: ${error}"

      Any ideas what's going on here, or thoughts on a workaround?
