Workflow parse exception with new approach for unstable stages

XMLWordPrintable

    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Not A Defect
    • Priority: Minor
    • Component/s: pipeline
    • None
    • Environment:
      Jenkins 2.176.1

      I am following https://jenkins.io/blog/2019/07/05/jenkins-pipeline-stage-result-visualization-improvements/ blogpost to use the new try/catch approach:

      stages {
        stage ('Tests: EN'){
          steps{
            try {
              sh 'HOME=$(pwd) bundle && HOME=$(pwd) LOCALE=en BROWSER=chrome-headless-nogpu cucumber --format json --out reports/en.json'
            }
            catch (ex) {
              unstable('Tests failed!')
            }
          }
        }

      for marking the results unstable but I'm getting:

      org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
WorkflowScript: 21: Expected a step @ line 21, column 13.
               try {

               try{

               try{
               ^
