Try-catch block in Jenkins pipeline script

Question

I\'m trying to use the following code to execute builds, and in the end, execute post build actions when builds were successful. Still, I get a MultipleCompilationErrorsExce

Answer 1

try like this (no pun intended btw)

script {
  try {
      sh 'do your stuff'
  } catch (Exception e) {
      echo 'Exception occurred: ' + e.toString()
      sh 'Handle the exception!'
  }
}

The key is to put try...catch in a script block in declarative pipeline syntax. Then it will work. This might be useful if you want to say continue pipeline execution despite failure (eg: test failed, still you need reports..)
