Prevent build from failing if error occurs about dependency-track-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

For async setup jobs this is "must have". For sync jobs it could be nice that the build did not fail, but instead gave the possibility to be unstable

from dependency-track-plugin.

Failing the build job if something is wrong with your build environment is a common behavior and it is intended (#9). It is also a signal (to you or Jenkins admin) that there is something abnormal and that needs your attention. If you want to ignore errors and make the job go on, use a pipeline job, wrap the dependencyTrackPublisher call in a try-catch block and do whatever makes you happy when an exception occurred.

Declarative Pipeline example

pipeline {
    agent any

    stages {
        stage('dependencyTrackPublisher') {
		steps {
		        withCredentials([string(credentialsId: '506ed685-4e2b-4d31-a44f-8ba8e67b6341', variable: 'API_KEY')]) {
				script {
					try {
						dependencyTrackPublisher artifact: 'target/bom.xml', projectName: 'my-project', projectVersion: 'my-version', synchronous: true, dependencyTrackApiKey: API_KEY
					} catch (e) {
						echo 'failed'
					}
				}
			}
		}
        }
    }
}

Thanks for that input. There is a lot of plugins for Jenkins supporting returning a response code when used, IMHO that would be much cleaner as this leaves the pipelines "in good shape" as you are able to create all you pipeline logic without a lot of try catches on different plugins.

It could be as simple as returning the HTTP code.

Hi @giacgbj

I face the same issue, I fix the code on my fork (rvsoni@eee4259)

I introduced an option on the global config advance section, also on job config, that can help you to just upload a BOM and not wait for the result, this would mark build success.

Pl. build this code and test it, Pl. let me know if there are any improvements,

It prints the below logs on Jenkins and does not wait to collect the result. ```
