      If you happen to specify a pattern that doesn't match any files in the workspace, archiveArtifacts will silently fail the build.

      Jenkinsfile

      node {
          sh 'echo "lol"'
          
          archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'lol*.zip'
      }

      archive step

      In contrast, the use of the archive step (e.g. archive 'lol*.zip' in the above Jenkinsfile) will result in a silently successful build.
