Running a Post Build script when a Jenkins job is aborted

Question

Is there a possible way / plugin that can run a post build script when a Jenkins job is aborted. I do see that the post build plugin provides an action to execute a set of scripts, but these can be run only on 2 options either a successful job or a failed job.

Answer 1

This question is positively answered here.

The Post Build Task plugin is run even if a job is aborted.

Use it to search the log text for "Build was aborted" and you can specify a shell script to run.

Works like a charm. :-)

For a declarative Jenkins pipeline, you can achieve it as follows:

pipeline {     agent any      options {         timeout(time: 2, unit: 'MINUTES')   // abort on exceeding the timeout     }      stages {         stage('Echo 1') {            steps {               echo 'Hello World'           }          }         stage('Sleep'){             steps {                 sh 'sleep 180'             }         }         stage('Wake up'){             steps {                 echo "Woken up"             }         }     }     // this post part is executed if job is aborted     post {         aborted {             script{               echo "Damn it. I was aborted!"             }         }     } }
