How to implement Post-Build stage using Jenkins Pipeline plug-in?

After reading Jenkins tutorial explaining Pipeline plug-in, it seems that plug-in should make it possible to implement Post-Build steps. However documentation is rather limited in regard to specific instructions.

For example I wonder how to implement:

Run only if build succeeds

Run only if build succeeds or is unstable

Run regardless of build result

Run only if build succeeds
```
stage 'build'
... build
... tests
stage 'post-build'
...
```
(Or add -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false to the MAVEN_OPTS)
Run only if build succeeds or is unstable
```
stage 'build'
... build
try {
    ... tests
} catch {
    ...
}
stage 'post-build'
...
```
(Or add -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true to the MAVEN_OPTS)

Run regardless of build result - could it be done using try / catch / finally ?

try {
    stage 'build'
    ...
} catch {
    ...
} finally {
    stage 'post-build'
    ...
}

(I've noticed that final build status is set as SUCCESS even though some stages, ie. 'build', have failed as it set based on last stage. Does that mean final build status need to explicitly set, ie.currentBuild.result = 'UNSTABLE'? )

The best way is to use post build action in the pipeline script.

Handling Failures
Declarative Pipeline supports robust failure handling by default via its post section which allows declaring a number of different "post conditions" such as: always, unstable, success, failure, and changed. The Pipeline Syntax section provides more detail on how to use the various post conditions.

Jenkinsfile (Declarative Pipeline)

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh 'make check'
            }
        }
    }
    post {
        always {
            junit '**/target/*.xml'
        }
        failure {
            mail to: team@example.com, subject: 'The Pipeline failed :('
        }
    }
}

The documentation is below https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#post

If you are using try/catch and you want a build to be marked as unstable or failed then you must use currentBuild.result = 'UNSTABLE' etc. I believe some plugins like the JUnit Report plugin will set this for you if it finds failed tests in the junit results. But in most cases you have to set it your self if you are catching errors.

The second option if you don't want to continue is to rethrow the error.

stage 'build'
... build
try {
    ... tests
} catch(err) {
    //do something then re-throw error if needed.
    throw(err)
}
stage 'post-build'
...

try-catch blocks can be set up to handle errors like in real application code.

For example:

try {
    node {
        sh 'sleep 20' // <<- can abort here
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    println 'catch'
} finally {
    println 'finally'
}

node {
    println 'second'
}

try {
    node {
        sh 'sleep 20' // <<- can abort here again
    }
} catch (Exception e) {
    println 'catch'
} finally {
    println 'finally'
}

And here is an example output with two aborts.

Of course, this works for any exceptions happening during the execution.

FWIW, if you are using scripted pipelines and not declarative, you should use a try/catch/finally block as suggested in the other answers. In the finally block, if you want to mimic what the declarative pipeline does, you can either put the following directly in the block, or make it a function and call that function from your finally block:

def currResult = currentBuild.result ?: 'SUCCESS'
def prevResult = currentBuild.previousBuild?.result ?: 'NOT_BUILT'

// Identify current result
boolean isAborted = (currResult == 'ABORTED')
boolean isFailure = (currResult == 'FAILURE')
boolean isSuccess = (currResult == 'SUCCESS')
boolean isUnstable = (currResult == 'UNSTABLE')

boolean isChanged = (currResult != prevResult)
boolean isFixed = isChanged && isSuccess && (prevResult != 'ABORTED') && (prevResult != 'NOT_BUILT')
boolean isRegression = isChanged && currentBuild.resultIsWorseOrEqualTo(prevResult)

onAlways()
if (isChanged) {
    onChanged()
    if (isFixed) {
        onFixed()
    } else if (isRegression) {
        onRegression()
    }
}
if (isSuccess) {
    onSuccess()
} else {
    if (isAborted) {
        onAborted()
    }
    onUnsuccessful()
    if (isFailure) {
        onFailure()
    }
    if (isUnstable) {
        onUnstable()
    }
}
onCleanup()

The various onXYZ() calls are functions that you would define to handle that particular condition instead of using the nicer syntax of the declarative post blocks.
