      I have a Jenkins job where I'm running Ansible through sshCommand:

      sshCommand remote: remote, command: "ansible-playbook lb.yml"

      However, if the last step of this Ansible playbook fails, the plugin throws an exception, but doesn't print the error logs for that final step. Running it normally in a shell would print additional logs.

      Jenkins log:

      TASK [lb : Configure nginx conf] ******************************************
      changed: [server]
      TASK [lb : Restart nginx] *************************************************
      [Pipeline] }
      [Pipeline] // withCredentials
      [Pipeline] }
      [Pipeline] // stage
      [Pipeline] }
      [Pipeline] // withEnv
      [Pipeline] }
      [Pipeline] // node
      [Pipeline] End of Pipeline

      Shell log:

      TASK [lb : Configure nginx conf] ******************************************
      changed: [server]
      TASK [lb : Restart nginx] *************************************************
      fatal: [server]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unable to start service nginx: Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code.\nSee \"systemctl status nginx.service\" and \"journalctl -xe\" for details.\n"}
      	to retry, use: --limit @/ansible/lb.retry
      
      PLAY RECAP ****************************************************************
      server   : ok=1   changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1   
      

      I checked, and all of these log lines go to stdout.

      These additional log lines are necessary for debugging the issue (the workaround right now is to try executing the ansible script directly from the node, which isn't great) so it would be great to flush them before throwing this BadExitStatusException.
