An error in a "finally" block will result in squelching the original exception thrown

      Considering the following contrived Jenkinsfile:

      node {
    try {
        echo "I'm too cool to stash"
        1 / 0 
    }
finally {
        unstash 'invalid'
        echo "Did you see the exception?"
    }
}

      The exception thrown in the try block will never ever get printed in the Console Output. This is pretty frustrating as it hides the original error from me :'(, see below:

      Started by user admin

[Pipeline] echo

[Pipeline] unstash
[Pipeline] }

ERROR: No such saved stash ‘invalid’
