[JENKINS-45340] step hangs when agent is deconnected

I use pipeline and my steps are composed by sh step.

during step execution if agent is disconnected the build hangs for ever.

In logs I can see :

Cannot contact slave008: java.lang.InterruptedException

So I try to catch InterruptedException to stop the step but It does not work.

I also try to use timeout but no way  build never fails !

with jenkins 2.60.1 and all plugins up to date, behavior is the same.

I check many others issues quite close but did not  find a workaround.

 

is there a timeout somewhere to fail build in case of agent disconnection ?

Theo
