      Not a core bug: When publishers are run, the build already has a result.
      


      Except when using plugins that mess this up… ffs…

      I wonder whether changing build.getResult() to return SUCCESS if it's still null would be best.

      BTW, the change breaks the original behavior even it was incorrect.
My users also use Artifacts publishers within build steps, hence it could be a popular use-case.
      


      What about adding additional check for this case?
If <code>onlyIfSuccessful==true</code>, then you can just skip the uploading

    JENKINS-22699 is a new feature. I suppose it won't be backported
