[JENKINS-51010] Batch step marked as succeeded when set to return a non-zero value

When I use returnStatus I get the return code, but the bat step itself doesn't show as failed in the Pipeline Steps page. Consider the following example:

node {

    stage ('example') {

        int rc = bat([script: 'exit 1', returnStatus: true])

        if (rc) {

            println 'Failed!'

{{        }}}

        else {

            println 'Success!'

{{        }}}

{{    }}}

}

 

This is the output of the build:

Started by user anonymous

Running in Durability level: MAX_SURVIVABILITY

[Pipeline] node

Running on Jenkins in D:\Jenkins\workspace\bat

[Pipeline] {

[Pipeline] stage

[Pipeline] { (example)

[Pipeline] bat

[bat] Running batch script

D:\Jenkins\workspace\bat>exit 1

[Pipeline] echo

Failed!

[Pipeline] }

[Pipeline] // stage

[Pipeline] }

[Pipeline] // node

[Pipeline] End of Pipeline

Finished: SUCCESS

This is expected, but as you can see the batch script step itself isn't marked as failed:
