Minor
In the Release Notes for Powershell support, it is stated clearly, with an example, that writing to the error stream in powershell will fail that stage:
Your powershell step may produce a failing exit status in the following instances:
- Something in your PowerShell script has thrown an exception
- Your PowerShell script explicitly calls exit with a non-zero exit code
- Your PowerShell script calls a native application that produces a non-zero $LastExitCode
- Your PowerShell script results in a non-empty error stream (with or without throwing an exception)
However, if I try that myself, the stage succeeds (though error output is still written to the console):
pipeline {
agent { label 'windows' }
options {
skipDefaultCheckout()
durabilityHint('PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZED')
}
stages {
stage('write-error') {
steps {
powershell 'write-error "bang"'
}
}
}
}

The plugin should behave like the documentation.
