PowerShell pipeline step does not seem to be durable

XMLWordPrintable

      While running a PowerShell pipeline step I triggered a graceful shutdown, while also monitoring the powershell.exe process on the Jenkins host. The PowerShell process unexpectedly crashed, and the job failed with a -1 exit code.

      Job definition:

      node ('Windows') {
    powershell '''
    while (1) {
        write-host "Testing"
        Start-Sleep 1
    }
    '''
}

      Console output:

      I ran the same test again and this time it hung, even though the PowerShell process seems to have crashed.

      At this point I do not know how to debug the issue, and what can be done to ensure durability in the powershell pipeline step.

      svanoort, teilo, let me know if you need any more details and if you can assist in this investigation.
