This is related to multiple issues that are resolved as fix, but there are still ongoing issues:
Running a powershell step where the command is not found OR where the command does NOT generate any stdout when returnStdout: true will hang the job
Use this for the pipeline to duplicate issue:
pipeline {
 agent {
  label "john-windows"
}
 stages {
  stage('gobbledygook - will pass') {
   steps{
    // powershell script: 'gobbledygook'
    powershell script: 'date'
   }
  }
  stage('gobbledygook - will fail') {
   steps{
    powershell returnStdout: true, script: 'gobbledygook'
   }
  }
 }
}
Â
The jobs will hang and will need to be aborted. Here is he console output:
