Since months oftentimes when a command in a sh step fails the corresponding error message is not visible in the console log of the build. This is quite annoying because you have no idea what the problem is. This is not always the case but often enough that it drives our developers mad.
We were able to work around it by piping the command output through tee and archive the resulting file with the build. This file always contains the complete command output.
Here is an example what the console log looks like:
...
23:02:00.162 [INFO] Suppression Rule had zero matches: SuppressionRule{packageUrl=PropertyType
,cpe={PropertyType
{value=cpe:/a:yaml_project:yaml, regex=false, caseSensitive=false},}}23:02:00.162 [INFO] Finished Unused Suppression Rule Analyzer (0 seconds)23:02:01.686 [Pipeline] }23:02:01.731 [withMaven] artifactsPublisher - Archive artifact pom.xml under com/knime/enterprise/knime-server-installer/4.17.0-beta-20230515-174122-001629-8048494b/knime-server-installer-4.17.0-beta-20230515-174122-001629-8048494b.pom
...
**
And here is the complete output of the mvn command captured in the file:
...
[INFO] Suppression Rule had zero matches: SuppressionRule{packageUrl=PropertyType{value=^pkg:maven/org\.yaml/snakeyaml@.*$, regex=true, caseSensitive=false},cpe={PropertyType{value=cpe:/a:yaml_project:yaml, regex=false, caseSensitive=false},}}

This mostly happens with Maven builds but we also had occassions where Maven was not involved. Unfortunately I was not able yet to create a minimal reproducer.
The builds run on remote Docker agents in case this is relevant.
I'm happy to dig deeper but I need some pointers where to start first.
