Post build task not working [Jenkins]

Question

Can someone please help. I am trying to trigger a post-build action using the post-build action plugin. The log text that I inputted is returning false, hence not performing a post-build action. When I don't enter any text, it returns true.

This is a simple freestyle project that should print test if it matches the text Post build setting

This is the console output returning false Console output returning false

This is the output with no text Output with no text

Any help will be appreciated. All I want to do is perform a post-build action depending on if my build fails or passes. Alternate solution is welcomed

Thanks

The root cause is your job has no any log out in Job Build Stage, please see Post build task plugin's help, this plugin will search job build log to find the text you specified in plugin.

A quick way to re-try is add a Build Step to print out something:
1. Execture shell (if job executed on Linux machine)
2. Execute windows batch (if job execute on Window machine)

A Job configure example:
