Description
Solution
- Fold in steps to their nearest stage so that they appear in the step list
- When
JENKINS-39658is fixed the error log will be appended to the step
Original request
Blue ocean shows parallel branches as separate "nodes" (circles) on the stage graph.
This means that if a build failure happens outside of a parallel branch, you end up with all green circles but a failed build.
See the attached 
This is for the simple pipeline:
node {
stage('first') {
sh "echo 42"
}
stage('par') {
parallel(
"left" : {
sh "echo 42"
},
"right" : {
sh "echo 43"
}
)
error "it's all bad"
}
}
What this should do:
if there are steps outside of parallel branches, show them as a node (circle) directly under the stage name (and if any steps fail, that node shows as failed).

Patrick Wolf if the archive step fails because there are no inputs that fails terribly too (with a stack trace). There are many steps that exhibit similar behaviour. If we can have beautiful error reports like JENKINS-35308 for all the steps I would sleep better at night 
Why do you say it's a long shot, Michael Neale? It's something we flagged to do for improving Pipeline and I think this one is pretty important, even with PMD. If any step fails on the backend we need to make sure the error reporting is good.
Patrick Wolf yeah JENKINS-35308 seems a bit of a long shot right now.
Do we have some negative tests that can fail a build more disastrously than an error step? At least until we have JENKINS-35308 implemetend
Patrick Wolf from conversations with KK, it wasn't relised at first how hard it would be to implement. As the saying goes "we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy"
