python - Jenkins with pylint gives build failure

Question

I added a build step to execute a Python script.
In this script pylint is called with the lint.Run(..args) to check the code.
The script works but in the end, the build fails with the only error message:

Build step 'Execute Python script' marked build as failure

Someone has an idea why this happens?

Answer 1

You can also simply put a

pylint || exit 0

in the shell cmdline. The Pylint plugin will fail the build anyway by checking the result of pyllint.
