[JENKINS-58597] Additional Step error with message

As noted in other issues the error() step is not intended to print messages. But there are some use cases where this becomes very helpful. Eg. provides information directly in the blue ocean log; the error step does this sporadic only.

Does it make sense to add another step with fails the build but also prints to the log?

Commencez par examiner le point d’entrée du step error() existant et la façon dont ses messages apparaissent dans les logs de Jenkins et Blue Ocean. Clarifiez le comportement du step proposé, notamment la manière dont il doit faire échouer le build tout en affichant un message, puis définissez des tests qui vérifient les deux résultats.
