Post when stage is skipped due to when conditional

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      The following pipeline does not trigger the post section:

      pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            when {
                expression { return false; }
            }
            steps {
                echo 'working'
            }
            post {
                always {
                    echo 'post'
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

      I expected this to actually echo 'post' and for post to also have a 'skipped' option. Would love to see those.

            post on a stage is part of the stage. So if the stage is skipped due to when, that includes the post.

            abayer thanks for the quick reply. I did not mean this was a defect, just different than what I expected.

            It could be a good idea to add something in the docs about this.

            I would also add, that being able to something when a stage is skipped would be useful.  An example might be to update a CI reporting system (such as Github's commit status checks) that a stage is not being waited for (indefinitely) but rather has been skipped.

            Could we have this This is reopened as an RFE for some such kind of functionality rather than having to re-invent when processing inside the stage since it's not possible to reflect the skipped status of a stage at that point?
