jenkins notifying error occured in different steps by sending mail in Pipeline (former known as Workflow)

Question

I have a pipeline with multiple steps, for example:

stage \'dev - compile\'
node(\'master\') {
  //do something
}

stage \'test- compile\'
node(\'master\') {         


        

Answer 1

I think it is a better way to use the jenkins build in post section instead of using try catch:

pipeline {
  agent any
    stages {
      stage('whatever') {
        steps {
          ...
        }
      }
    }
    post {
        always {
          step([$class: 'Mailer',
            notifyEveryUnstableBuild: true,
            recipients: "example@example.com",
            sendToIndividuals: true])
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
