Error message of missing credentials entry not meaningful to end user

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      If exceptions occur in a stage, Jenkins Blue Ocean will only show the exception message in the log. Additional context via the stacktrace is only available if users explicitly switch back to the "old" log viewer.

      Given this behavior, in case of missing credentials, the behavior of the credentials binding plugin is problematic. If it fails, it only provides the credentials ID as output via the CredentialNotFoundException message. This makes it hard for Blue Ocean users to get a grasp of the problem.

      See: SCREENSHOT

       

      We created a PR that would fix the issue. A review is appreciated.

            Not really sure why it did not just use AbortException to begin with but I fear there may now be scripts which explicitly catch the CredentialNotFoundException type.
