[JENKINS-31702] Post successful build steps are executed when build fails

[jenkins-infra-bot]

First build step was to copy artifacts from another job. This build step failed.

Configured post successful build steps of the release plugin are executed anyway. But they should not be executed in my eyes when some build step fails.

Do you have any hints how to debug this?

  I use the Git Publisher plugin as post successful build step. This plugin offers as first option to push only if build succeeds. But this option is broken, too. It fails with a NullPointerException: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-31678
  
  So there is currently no possibility to push to Git only when the build succeeds.
