Missing Pipeline DSL step exception is not caught by try-catch

XMLWordPrintable

      For example:

       

      node {
  try {
    nonExistingStep()
  } catch (e) {
    echo "exception caught !!!"
  }
}

      catch block is not executed.

      Exception "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL method 'nonExistingStep'" is thrown anyway and build is failed.

          This is known to work; I suspect Groovy treats an untyped catch clause as catching Exception, whereas this is an Error.

          Indeed similar is reproducible from command-line groovy.

          Catching Throwable works fine:

          catch(Throwable t) {
    throw e
}

          Better to catch NoSuchMethodError specifically, so you do not accidentally ignore unrelated problems.
