This script not longer works and fails with: cannot change build result while in COMPLETED

Please DISREGARD this article.

I use the Build Pipeline Plugin and the Groovy Postbuild Plugin to allow me to set all builds upstream to failed in a downstream job failed.

I have the following pipeline:

(Root)->(Top)->(Down)

When the (Down) job fails I want to mark upstream jobs (Top) and (Root) as failed.

I did this using groovy in the post build and best of all; NO fingerprinting required!

Anyway, the script is below. Get copying and modifying!

/**
* Will mark all upstream builds as failed if the current job is
* UNSTABLE or FAILED.
*
* Fingerprinting not required.

     if (cause.class.toString().contains("UpstreamCause")) {
        def projectName = cause.getUpstreamProject()

        upstreamJob = hudson.model.Hudson.instance.getItem(projectName)
        if(upstreamJob) {
             upbuild = upstreamJob.getBuildByNumber(number)
             if(upbuild) {
                 log("Setting to failed for " + projectName + " - " + number)
                 upbuild.setResult(hudson.model.Result.FAILURE)
