    • Jenkins 2.103 (.war) with Pipeline 2.5 on Fedora 26, Oracle JDK 1.8.0_121.

      When a timeout interrupts a shell script (bash in my case), the build result is set to failure instead of the expected aborted.

      Example (also true for scripted pipelines):

      pipeline {
          agent any
      
          options {
              timeout(time: 3, unit: 'SECONDS')
          }
      
          stages{
              stage('run') {
                  steps {
                      sh 'sleep 5'
                      // working:
                      // sleep(time: 5, unit: 'SECONDS')
                  }
              }
          }
      }
      

      Output:
