Jenkins Pipeline Get Current Stage Status After Using catchError

Question

This is a follow-up to my earlier question:

Set a stage status in Jenkins Pipelines

It turns out I can keep a pipeline as SUCCESS but can mark an individual

Answer 1

As an alternative to add to Dibakar Aditya's answer, it is possible to wrap everything in a function which resembles regular steps. I.e.:

stage("1") {
    def localSuccess = catchLocalError {
        // do stuff
    }
    if(!localSuccess) {
        // do something special if we're unstable
    }
}

boolean catchLocalError(Closure c) {
    try {
        c()
        return true
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return false
    }
}
